Only 4% of seniors actually change locations when they retire.
Though seemingly small, that is a significant number, totaling 1.4 million people a year picking up and changing the scenery to enjoy their new life. Where are they headed? According to a new report, Florida is still overwhelmingly the place to go, with 8 of the top 10 spots being located in the Sunshine State.
The top place to retire on that list is once again – Sarasota.
In the last 13 months, Sarasota has been named the #1 place to buy real estate in the US, the #1 place to buy real estate in the Western World, and although Siesta Key Beach came in as the #2 beach in the US, we beg to differ.
Why is all this significant to you? Securing your Sarasota retirement/vacation place now is the smartest thing you can do. Investors are already fighting aggressively for the low end market. Interest rates are incredibly low, prices are lower.
Economics 101 – as more people come, demand goes up. As demand goes up, prices rise. Opportunity is lost by the time everyone catches up with the “hot place to buy”. Every report in 2 years has told you to buy here – what are you waiting for? Sarasota real estate is the real bargain this Christmas season.
