Far out rural without basic necessities,utilities nearby or paved roads that can't be split and zoned agricultural worth a lot less than something say west of I-75 closer to urban services and the GOM with much higher intensity future land use. Everything pointing to land prices going back to what they were early this decade..Some areas take longer than others because the ownership is in much stronger hands..

Southwest Florida: Garage sale economy

news-press.com

Garage sales have morphed in Southwest Florida from a means to purge the flotsam and jetsam in people's lives to simply helping them survive.

A plunging economy, soaring gas prices, the highest unemployment rate in 15 years and skyrocketing foreclosures are forcing Southwest Florida residents to hold garage sales not to downsize or de-clutter, but to make ends meet.

People being foreclosed upon are moving out of state and lightening the load by selling possessions. Real estate and personal property auctions of household items also are rising.
