TAMPA, Fla. – After back-to-back storms this hurricane season, many residents are planning to sell their homes to either move out of flood zones, or out of the Sunshine State completely. Some wasted no time with a contract for a new home.
“We’re not going to move back into this house, it was a very traumatic, and I don’t want to go through this again,” said Jody Hameroff, a St. Petersburg resident. “We actually have a contract on a new house, we’re just not going to come back here. No joke, my husband had someone looking for us two days after [Helene].”
Right next door, her neighbor in Shore Acres said they’re also selling after they rebuild.
