Hi all...I am an agent in Central Florida. After several months of relative quiet, I am happy to report that my phone has been ringing with regularity. We're in the peak homebuying season, so I expect to close several deals over the next few months. All in all, I feel the worst is behid us (regardless of what the media says).
Thanks!!

Hi Group,

I am encouraged! Traffic seems to be up, even if they are just bargain hunters. Prices has dropped significantly and rates are still great. As soon as the fear subsides things will get better.

Finding the moving market is critical and is determined by several things. Inventories, Interest Rates, Quality of Life, and level of construction.

With this in mind, we as professionals need to find the places with the highest destination draws and the highest inventories. This creates a buyers market.

Southwest Florida meets these requirements. Interest rates are low and there is a surplus of housing on the market. Some investors who came in late in the game, are selling at $.50-$.75 cents on the dollar on resale and new construction, in the less the $1million market.

Southwest Florida is this location. Some statistics: 17 million babybooms are going to retire in the next 10 years. 27% of them are coming to Florida, 17% of them are coming to Southwest Florida. This information can be found in the last census data and on eFLorida.com the public private partnership for commerce and indursty for the State of Florida.

Think Referrals. For both buyers and sellers. Your customers will say thank you because I love what I do.

Let us have a great day and sell something today.

Regarding my earlier post - who contributed to the current housing market. Here is an interesting article:

Just another take on things. What do you think?

Hi everyone! I just started a forum topic for all Realtors to be able to request for their listings to be shown on the blog. If you would like your listings featured on the blog, visit the forum topic and make your request. Hope to see you there :) Thank you.
