It's True what my uncle said

Nobody really wants to retire in a Birmingham or Atlanta etc........ there is a wall of people (boomers) envisioning themselves at the beach SoWal or Kiawah for 8 to 9 months per year, and for the other 3 months, they'll be vacationing for Christmas, skiing in Telluride, taking a month in the Carribean...

Can't disagree

...So you're saying "Now is a great time to 'envision?'"

If you trying to avoid realtor commissions on a FSBO, why don't y'all get appraisals . Then y'all have a starting point for negotiation. If this is a property you have great interest in, and the seller is not flexible, then see if he/she will allow a realtor to get involved to help determine the market and assist in negotiations.
There are many great realtors right here on this board. If you can't figure out FMV between you and the seller, then you would be wise to get the counsel of a realtor. But, asking here if the peanut is ripe for picking when know one knows where it is won't yield you a peanut farm.

Well, y'all know what I mean.

Awww mangy you are becoming a true southern wench..you said ya'll three times in your post!!

Sorry for the interruption.....carry on! This really is an interesting post and I hope you let us know how it turns out.

I disagree. I've pretty much decided I'd rather retire in my hometown of Atlanta where we would have access to more health care choices and senior citizen services. I also wouldn't want to have our primary residence along the Gulf due to the threat of hurricanes. Yeah, you can't take it with you, but I wouldn't want people overcharging us for services (property maintenance, storm prep, etc.) when we're too old to do it ourselves. I can't begin to enumerate how many times my Mom has been ripped off.

I'd rather have a *second* residence in SoWal, and then when we're so old we're tired of driving down ourselves, we can sell it. But our social network and our doctors will be in place in Atlanta.
