Thank a Vet

Another beautiful Florida day, I must admit it is hard to complain about where we live.

Veteran’s day is upon us again. With the election and the economic downturn debacle we are currently enduring we sometimes lose touch with some very important issues. There are still American men and women dying on foreign soil and it is being largely overlooked unless you have a loved one in the conflicts that are underway. Most enlisted men and women have significant others who are in the same economy that we civilians are facing today, the big difference is with the pay scale enjoyed by enlisted personnel in today’s military they are more dependent on the 2nd income than most especially when children are involved. There is also the small item of facing hostile action everyday they are in harm’s way. So I just ask that we give thoughts to the sacrifices being made by all our military serving all Americans.

Interesting thing about the market.

There are a small number of oceanfront condos in The Diplomat. At this writing there are 5 units on the market. They are priced as follows:

1st floor, all have 900 sq ft with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths.
1. "motivated seller" Priced at $239,900.
2. Realtor owned, Priced at $259,900
3. On the market for 21 days and priced at $324,900

3rd floor
1. Same floor plan, better view obviously priced at $375,000

The big unit
2520 sq ft unit, 3 bedrooms,3 baths, priced at $699,900.

You have to make your own deductions about this info.

There is now a short sale in the Meridian, priced at $550,000, never lived in with all amenities and upgrades.
