Homes for sale with hurricane shutters

Tropical storm Fay is passing through the state and while it did not develop into a hurricane it did remind those of us who live in Central Florida that the threat of hurricanes is very real and requires that we stay prepared.

For some home owners that preparedness involves owning a home with hurricane shutters. The sunsentinel.com has a good article on the costs to install hurricane shutters. The various types of shutters include:

• Storm panel hurricane shutters
• Accordion hurricane shutters
• Colonial hurricane shutters
• Bahama hurricane shutters
• Roll-down hurricane shutters

Of course the other option to installing shutters is to purchase a Central Florida home that is already equipped with these safety shutters. A search of the MLS today resulted in 48 homes in our 5 county area that are for sale and have hurricane shutters.

After the storm passes, give us a call and we will be happy to show you these homes.
