[quote=Anonymous]Hello - I'm one of the people who responded to you in the hijacked thread!

You can definitely find a nice house in a good part of town for $750k. Prices have gone WAY up here since we bought back about eight years ago - I often say we got the last affordable house in our neighborhood (insane to think we only paid $330k back then!) - but that amount of $ will absolutely still get you a place where you'd want to live.

If you're buying, two things to be very aware of:

- Do NOT buy in a flood zone no matter how much you want to live on the water, unless it's a condo

- Be aware of evacuation zones, too. In most hurricanes, you will want to remain at home if you can - but if you're in an evacuation zone, you will feel more pressure to leave.

I just ran a search on Zillow for places between $500k and $800k - a lot came up:

If you have questions about any of the neighborhoods for a specific house, I - and I'm sure PP - would be glad to tell you what we think.

You'll probably have to get used to some different house styles here in St Pete - but we really love the eclecticism of Florida architecture. There's a lot of houses that have been updated piecemeal and I personally like that a lot - I think it's fun seeing what choices people have made through the years (keeping most of a pink bathroom but updating the floor tile, etc).

If you don't like that, there are plenty of new constructions available, since St Pete has gotten hot and development's gotten a little wild - and you can always get a whole house redone, too.[/quote]
