This is one insider's unpolished take on the current state of the Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral, Florida real estate market. I am a licensed agent and partner with Walker Bagwell Properties. My sometimes blunt opinions here are not welcomed by the real estate mainstream. Whatever. Hopefully my insights will allow you to make better decisions about your participation in this market.

And crazy price drop of the month, the previously profiled 4300+ sq.ft. canal home that started at $1,199,000 last June posted it's 29th teensy price drop this month to bring it to a still-too-high $979,000.
There are plenty of others out there but I thought these would be interesting. As I've mentioned in recent posts, if you're not paying cash, be prepared to pony up more than you thought for a down payment. Talk to a lender now to find out what may be required of you for a mortgage, especially if it's a condo, AND, pray for warmer weather.
Well he who waits for the day's riches will be lost
In the whispering tide
Where the river flows
Tomorrow never knows
