The areas of Florida I'm most familiar with are Ft Myers/Cape Coral and Tampa. You can still find a lot of homes with a square foot cost below what the materials alone sell for. I'm talking $50 per ft range.

That being said if she puts down at least 25% and has financing pre approved there's nothing wrong with making low ball offers until someone accepts. This is a buyers market make sure she is a smart buyer.

The biggest negatives I see are personal ones. If she's young will she want to move around to different cities or be tied down to one location for years. The other is most marriages end in divorce ...... Either one then makes her a seller in a buyers market.
