Four Major Hurricanes Have Forever Changed Retirees Housing Needs
Even though, Four major hurricanes in 2005 haven't frightened anyone off, retirees housing considerations have changed in two major ways.
Melbourne Florida (PRWEB) January 4, 2006
Although four hurricanes in 2005 haven’t frightened anyone off, retirees housing considerations have changed in two major ways.
1. Location. Not just location as it concerns nearness to medical, transportation, recreational and educational opportunities but location as it concerns insurance costs and vulnerability. This affects proximity to water, flood zones and much more.
2. Age and construction:. People are looking to trade up or buy something newer and/or better built from the get-go. This concerns year built, concrete block versus frame, modular to mobile, roofing types, code restrictions and more.
To make it more complex, the cost of living indexes still factor into all their decisions. So the problem then is, how to get more detailed information about location and construction in addition to health, education, transportation, employment, recreation, etc.
Luckily there is help: A new site, called Florida Relocation Real Estate Network at http://www. flarren. com (http://www. flarren. com) has been specifically designed to give not just retirees but anyone relocating to Florida, in-depth information on these and a wide range of other subjects. In fact there are 18 information categories covering 46 major areas and cities in Florida.
The site was conceived by Florida REALTOR, Dennis Handa who remarked, “It’s amazing how much stuff a person has to wade through on the internet to get information about an area" Most sites ask you to fill out forms and wind up giving only a glossed over picture with very limited content. As a REALTOR, who primarily works with buyers, I know they want as much information as possible, to help make a decision.
With this new site launch, all this comprehensive information is finally available in one site. The benefits for both the person looking to relocate as well as the site advertisers is incredible. Florida Real Estate Network is a Win/Win situation for everyone involved.
