Her comment was there were more people looking this year, but less contracts as compared to last year. Which tells me that people are looking for good deals and wanting to buy low.

About 1/3 the places are canalside. Who pays for canal upkeep-and mosquito and alligator control? It is really close to Fort Myers. The question is, why so cheap, what's REALLY wrong with it?

If you are an out of state investor, and you own a $200,000 house on the Florida coast free and clear, all you need are 2 vacant months a year to have a negative cash flow after paying all expenses. Appreciation, of course, does not exist. There are no deals in Florida until the state does something about its high real esate taxes and home owners insurance.

McCain stated that he believes in supplying more "liquidity" to the markets and to a Fed bailout of banks, in order to stave off a financial collapse. Yet he does not believe in more regulation of our out-of-control financial institutions. McCain is no better than Obama and Clinton, and in some ways he is worse. I can't think of worse public policy than a total lack of regulation combined with the guarantee of a bailout on the grounds of maintaining stability. I would support complete deregulation, but only in combination with the disolution of the Federal Reserve and the removal of all other government supports to the financial and housing markets, including the FOMC, FHA, HUD, and government-sponsored agencies such as Ginnie Mae and Fannie Mae. Let there be a completely free market totally absent government intervention of any sort. Dereg only works if you also restore Moral Hazard, which has been absent since the 80s. But that's not likely to occur. Don't kid yourself-the Republicans will never cancel corporate welfare.

Getting something is better than nothing. They should take their losses now before it gets even worse.
