WilsonTC, thanks, but my problem is that when I want to take a closer look at the listing by clicking on the link, I get this error message:

Oops, there's been a glitch!
We're sorry. This glitch is likely temporary, so please go back and try again.

But it's not temporary, since I had the same experience for 6 months now....

I realize that the taxes are high, but I thought they would be 2 % anually, based on the price? Also, insurance is an issue, and I thought it would be expensive but I figured a couple of grand would do. How much is it? $5k? Maybe the canal front homes are considered a flood zone.

It's crazy, my home in Sweden costs about $600 a year to fully insure, and it is appraised to double what my second home will cost.

Thanks,

Johan
