moving to florida.

i hope this is the proper place to post this, but i wanted to talk with some of the florida natives. me and the family have been thinking of moving for some time now. well we are preparing to take the leap and just do it. my question is what is it like there as far as economy wise i know the houseing prices are way down. oh and we are looking at oviedo area. we just want any addvice cause we are moving to start over. so HELP lol.

well, I can start by saying I have never heard of the "oviedo area"....

That's just NE of Orlando. I don't live that far south, but orlando normally is a pretty busy place. I've seen friends talking about available jobs there on occasion, and as far as I know the outlaying areas are growing.

I would be looking for jobs prior to actually moving next to Orlando though. Prices for housing can be tricky, and if you find a good job on the far side of orlando, it might not be as feasible to move again right after moving down.

Good luck. I happen to love living in florida, although I haven't lived in any other state.

ovideo is a nice area and house will be a little more expensive in that area. i agree with theresa. check for jobs before you make the leap. i know more than a few people who have been looking for jobs for a while with no luck.

Finding a job any where in FL is kinda hard right now. Please do look before you make it final. I have family down there and housing is a little higher than where I am in FL. So look into it real good before you make the move to be sure it's the right thing. Personally, I would wait for a little while. GOOD LUCK!!! It's been hot and we are all getting good tans right now LOL.
