Most real estate agents will tell you that the best time to sell a home in the Vero Beach, Hutchinson Island, Indian River Shores Florida areas is during the late spring and early summer months. When the weather turns warm, the vibrant growing season commences, and children can be seen playing happily in the yard, potential homebuyers really begin to connect with a house – even before they set foot across the threshold.
In real estate lingo, this is known as curb appeal.
In a personal phone interview with author David Vokac today, April 11, 2009, he suggested that we promote his conclusion that Vero Beach ranks as the 3rd most affordable town with the best weather as described in his recently published 2009 edition “100 Great Towns of America – a New Guide to the Best Getaways for a Vacation or a Lifetime.” David and his co-author wife, Joan travel the United States from coast to coast looking for outstanding small towns. The Vokacs purposefully choose small towns as opposed to the large cities that already enjoy plenty of coverage. They forego the obvious urban centers in favor of small towns in America that offer exceptional amenities with unique livability. For more information, visit www.GreatTowns.com
