Lot Research

The following advice is outdated. I believe the website was on to my sneaky ways and blocked the steps for which I found my own lot. You cannot search by "Unit" anymore, which makes this post useless really. If I ever find another way I will add it here.

I'm posting the resources I used to find a lot to build on in Palm Bay. Use this and you wont have to build in BFE. Palm Bay is divided into units designated by numbers. There is no pattern to these numbers that I can tell, just placed in different areas of the city. Say I want to be for example in Lockmar Estates area. You would then look for lots in Unit 45 or 21 from looking at the map. How do I look for lots in these areas you ask? I used this site from a random real estate co. in the area. It takes advantage of the MLS (Multi List Search) that has all real estate listings. Who needs a real estate agent now?  If you click on the "Advanced Search" tab it will give you lots of search criteria. The search bar you will use in this section is "Limit to This Subdivision/Area", typing in the Unit you want, ie "Unit 45", The 'U' must be in caps. Also, you must highlight Palm Bay in the "Limit to These Cities" right below that. Lastly, if you are looking for vacant lots, put a check mark in that box next to "vacant land". If you don't you will get house listings in that Unit also. Those are the basics. The map shows the Unit locations, I got it from the wahoo at Holiday Builders. I'm glad I had it because I would not have found a lot so close to shopping centers. Last thing--- once you have found a lot on the real estate site, it tells you the address. Check it out on yahoo maps in relation to where you live. I didnt pursue a number of lots because I could tell they were too far out of town. Put in your address as the beginning and the vacant lots address in the destination address.
