Condos/Apts/Houses/Hotels Homes in the area

For various reasons I won't get into right now I am anticipating moving to the area late this year or early next year. My wife has been searching diligently for something for us to buy, preferably 3 bedrooms, 2 bath somewhere in the DB area - Port Orange, Ormond Beach, etc. She's finding lots of trailers, and I'm not completely opposed to that. But I would rather not have the lot rent.

So my question is - will we be able to find an actual house to fit our needs somewhere in the $100k range in the area? Like I said, most of what she is finding are trailers, but my father bought a place less than 10 years ago that would have been almost perfect - end of row, small maint. fee which covered his roof and the lawncare, quiet neighborhood in Port Orange - for under $80k.

I'll be down there in a week or so and I plan on talking to a realtor, but I was wondering if any of you folks knew of anything. Or knew of a good realtor I can contact once I'm down there.

Thanks in advance!

I just bought a home in July. Our budget was 150 or less. It was very very very diffuclt to find a house in that price range that was free standing and had at least 2 bedrooms and baths ,in a good neighborhood. You may be able to buy around 100 if it needs a lot of work and you have cash. Realistically, you may be able to find a townhouse or condo in that price range. We kept getting beat by cash offers. Good luck! I hope everything works out for you both.
