A great location will be different things to different people. Factors that determine a great location may include; schools, employment and neighborhoods with a limited number of distressed property sales.
For some a great location will be where schools are performing at a high level. For those who will base their decisions by the schools in the area, they may want to visit the Florida Department of Education which provides numerous indicators of school status and performance for each of Florida's school districts.
The proximity to jobs and employment are important to many people searching for a home. The driving distance between work and home becomes a major part of the location factor. Employ Florida allows you to search for jobs in a specific area or zip code. Once you have located a job, you can then narrow down your home search to an area that allows for an easy commute.
Foreclosures, REO and short sales are a big part of the Florida market today. There are areas harder hit than others. Buyers who are trying to avoid purchasing a home in a community with an over abundance of distressed properties can do the research themselves. Florida Property Appraisers are a great source for locating neighborhoods and communities with foreclosures.
