Florida A Top Destination For Overseas Buying!

The new issue of "A Place In The Sun" magazine features on its cover The 10 Best Places To Buy Abroad. Florida moved from its #8 position in 2009 to #2 in 2010!
According to the article, "The combination of theme parks, golden beaches and a fun-packed lifestyle becomes even more attractive when property prices in much of the Sunshine State are back down to 2005 levels. Plus, the year-round sunshine means a holiday home here can make you a tidy sum in rentals too."
The PURTEE Team takes our international buyers seriously! You will find our advertisement within the Florida section of both this issue as well as their upcoming Exhibition Show Issue. Our new listing at Seamark (St Pete Beach) was an editor's choice for a great buy in Florida! Produced in the UK, A Place In The Sun began as a TV Show about buying property overseas. It expanded into its Exhibition Shows located throughout the UK and then its monthly magazine.
According to their currency expert, Robin Haynes from Currency Index, "Florida has been one market which has remained reasonably robust throughout the financial turmoil of 2009. The two main reasons have been a large drop in property values (foreclosures, repossessions and distressed sales have typified the market), and the weak dollar. Although the pound has been extremely weak against most currencies in 2009, against the dollar we have seen a relatively stable exchange rate, with trading levels above $1.60 for most of the year."
On the homepage of our website, www.floridagulfproperty.com we offer a direct link to real time currency conversion in order to help overseas buyers. As preferred realtors, we can help an overseas buyer find their dream home and help guide the process through to closing.
