I think you should be able to find something that suits your needs further north for less than $400K. Maybe not $250K but with the equity you have you should be able to take on a small mortgage that might be easier to get approved than you think. Owning outright is nice but nicer still is a comfortable payment to get into something the really suits your needs without needing to think about moving again.

I thought so too, but when you add all the factors, no HOA, space for RV, at least as updated as ours (2011) etc you got slim picking even up to $350k.
While I can deal with ugly paint and carpet and basic stuff like that, I don't really want to have to deal with remodeling bathrooms and kitchens etc and a lot of the ones I see need that.

That is a very big change in lifestyle moving from Delray to Port St. Lucie. If you already know that and are interested in moving up there because of it, then the move sounds like more of a lifestyle change than a house change.
Prices should be substantially less in that area as compared to Palm Beach County, including much lower property taxes. I would think you should easily be able to get as nice a house for less money. If looking for more land, that should be very easy to do, so long as you are willing to live west of 95.
I assume you either work remotely, or somewhere between those two towns, since you are looking at a 1 1/2 hour commute between the two, more during peak traffic times.

Yes we both work remotely, only way we could leave in the RV for a few months.
