Seven years ago, my husband, Ronnie, and I sold our Fort Lauderdale home and moved to Wisconsin. We stayed two years, then moved to Nashville. A few months ago, we decided to return to South Florida.
Blame it on January. After spending the winter here last year, we realized how much we missed South Florida. We knew real estate prices had risen, but we had no idea exactly how much. Sticker shock doesn’t begin to describe our condition when we learned the current value (tripled!) of our former house. I felt like someone had walloped me in the stomach with the Saturday real estate section.
Due to a good seller’s market and a terrific real estate agent, our house sold in two days.
