A lot of people search the Internet for beach homes and condos, naturally Cocoa Beach shows up a lot. What most people don't realize is how much more property they can have for a lot less if they are 5 miles to the west.
Merritt Island is a very diverse area that is actually unincorporated which means your taxes are a little less. Of course the most famous landmark is the Kennedy Space Center which is located on the north end of the Island. The type of homes varies as well, you can find upscale homes on the water in the south end of the island, central part of the island and the north end on the Indian river side of the island.
It provides the opportunity for the 1st time buyer as well as the buyer who is relocating or retiring to fish.
If you can find a home on the east side of the island you will find the shortest route to the locks that will open you up to fishing that is unbelievable in the Atlantic Ocean, probably about 10 minutes to the locks. In the central part of the island are canal homes which allow you to keep your boat on your lift and use it when you want without paying storage.
As a point of this blog there are currently 94 short sale listings on Merritt Island. The increase of this type listing has prompted our company to form a short sale specialist team to expedite this type of listing.
It is not for the faint of heart and in 3 days we will discuss the finer points of a successful short sale.
Thank you
