Hello, Michelle

Sebastian is a great place to raise kids! It provides a better quality of life for everyone in the family. People are very friendly in this town. I am a Realtor that relocated from Miami to Sebastian. I have lived here for a year and I love it. I know the Ft Lauderdale and Broward area very well and I can truly tell you I don't miss the traffic. Here you find lower property taxes and auto insurance is reduced drastically compared to S FL.

I agree with Maggie from Coldwell that you will probably get a better deal in a house that has already been built as prices have been decreasing so much! I live in the area called Sebastian Highlands close to Rd 512 and by Fleming and there are nice houses in my neighborhood with big lots and even with a pool ranging from 160-220K.

Feel free to contact me if you need more info on the area or if I can be of assistance in finding your Dream Home.

The Treasure Coast is a great place to raise kids. There is so much going on in Sebastian from story times to tumble bees for toddlers and a great school district for older kids.

FIRST ANSWER

Hi Michele,
I have sold many Maronda homes, but personally I think MGB out of Sebastian puts up a high quality home. They have two model homes on Barber St. in Sebastian. I also think Sebastian River Landing is a nice area. Have you already purchased the land? If not, I would be very happy to send you available lots for sale in Sebastian. One thought on building is you are going to pay alot more to build than if you bought a new home already built of which there are many available. The reason for that is the price of homes that are already built have come down so much that you have the opportunity to find exactly what you are looking for at a lot less money than it would cost you to build. Just my professional opinion.
