		<description>Paula - it's never been truer - especially in a strong buyer's market like we have now. 

John - Pinellas County is the MOST densely populated county in Florida and we are completely "built out" (we have next to no new construction - only a lot her or there or a tear down as you mentioned and reuse of existing land)so you can either buy properties for land value and rebuild/redevelop or remodel an existing property. 

Depending on whether you're in a flood zone or not makes a big difference. If you improve over 50% and you're in a flood zone you have to "raise the home" to meet current codes - many people still desire a ground floor entrance - not to mention addtional expenses so those are all important things to be aware of before you buy a property.      

Ashley - appreciate your comments.</description>

		<description>Curb appeal is so important. If you can't get them in the door it doesn't matter what the inside looks like. - Ashley</description>
