There are thousands of short sale and foreclosed properties throughout Florida, in fact there are 291 short sale properties in Boca Raton alone, priced from $19,900 to $2,995,000. This staggering statistic does offer one positive element, which is NOW is a great time to be buying a home or investment property. Also, if you are a seller then this year might be the last year to get your deficiency waived.
For years now in Florida, the trend hasn't been existing-home sellers' friend. Sales have risen recently as bargain hunters have swooped in.
