buying property in florida

There was a big article in the paper a few weeks ago about the number of people from Great Britain who own property in Florida. I knew we were a hot spot for visitors - we always seem to run into people from the UK at Disney and on cruises, but I didn’t realize that so many ended up buying property in Florida . (That reminds me of the time we went on a cruise and met a family from England. They didn’t take our warnings about the sun seriously and one of them got sun poisoning. What a way to ruin a vacation, eh?)

We had friends over today who transfered here from the UK for work, and like it so much they’ve bought a house and intend to stay for good. We got around to chatting about the difference in real estate and such, and it turns out that a lot of folks in the United Kingdom buy the homes here as investments, because the real estate in Florida (while not so hot now) always continues to go up.
