One of our buyers recently purchased a first-floor condominium in the small low-density community of Sherwood off Davis Boulevard.

Initially it was thought that the problem existed only in three state, Florida, Louisana and Virginia. As it turns out, 30 other states have now identified the problem and there may be more as well.
