The great recession has been difficult on everyone, but every dark cloud has a silver lining. Despite lower numbers of foreclosures and short sales there are still great opportunities out there, which means you can finally afford to turn your dream of living in a tropical paradise into a reality. I remember back in 2005 when condos on the gulf side of Midnight Pass Road on Siesta Key were selling for a minimum of around $400,000. Times have certainly changed. This condo I sold in the Peppetree condo building on Siesta Key would have been considerably more expensive in 2005. White powder beneath your toes and crystal clear water as far as the eye can see are perhaps two of the reasons you will love living in Sarasota the most. The beaches are beautiful; breathtaking even. However, the beaches aren’t busy and filled with tourists and spring breakers like some of the other beaches in Florida, which means you and the kids can relax and enjoy yourselves. If you like to walk, you can make a habit of taking an evening stroll along the beach stopping only to watch the sun descend into the ocean and at one of the dozens of oceanfront bars and restaurants. Enjoy a cocktail and some of the world’s freshest seafood after you watch the sunset. It’s the perfect ending to a perfect day.
