First-Time Buyers in Florida (36x8)

: 28, 2009

Melissa and Aric Straub were married almost two years ago, and they've been living with Melissa's parents in Bradenton, Florida ever since. Now they're ready to buy their first home, and their long wish list includes three (or more) bedrooms, a three-car garage, a pool, an exercise room, a large kitchen and double vanities in the master bathroom. Plus, they want a newer home that's move-in ready, and they want it all for under $450,000.
