After looking at the numbers I am even more convinced that Lake Forest in Port St. Lucie Florida's Saint Lucie West is a great value. In the past 3 months from 3/1/2009 to 6/23/2009 (7)houses have sold in this gated community. The average sale price over that same time period averaged $79 per square foot of living area. No doubt the Bank Owned property, foreclosures and short sales in the area are effecting peoples perception of what is a fair price. This is a great opportunity for a smart home buyer looking to move into a nice neighborhood in a great location.
The HOA fees seem reasonable at $145 per mo. especially when you consider that comes with two pools, a fitness center, a club house, a security gate and what ever else this place has to offer. All things considered this place deserves some serious consideration for value minded home buyers wanting something a few notches above the ungated areas of Port St. Lucie, for not that much more money.
If anyone is interested I may be listing a Short Sale in Lake Forest soon. As a CDPE (Certified Distressed Property Expert) I sometimes have a ground floor advantage as to great deals that may be coming up in certain areas.
