One Clear Dot

I know the housing market is bad all over the United States. Here in the Tampa area, though, I had seen a good bit of movement when it came to some of the more desirable townhome communities I have been keeping my eye on for the past year. Lately, I am seeing the same units for same week after week in the local Flyer. It gives me high hopes that the prices will come down in this one community in particular, It is the community my ex husband and I bought our first home in and due to the sheer demand for homes in that community, the prices skyrocketed beginning while we stilled lived there. If they can come back down, maybe I can buy one for me and my daughter to live in.

One of my best friends has a husband who dabbles in commercial real estate and the higher end projects are still profitable. So, even though overall sales and even new construction are way down around Tampa, people are still building in the commercial sector. We all might not have as much money to spend, but the business community is still gearing up for an upswing, I suppose.

All I know is that if I could travel back in time and speak to myself, I would convince me to do anything possible to not have to tell that townhouse we used to own. We thought it was necessary tot sell it then so we could buy our house in Gainesville, but looking back I see there may have been way sot hang onto it. Then, I simply would have asked for it in the divorce. ?
