The Season Is Upon Us
Editor Message 11/26/07
Edward W Jones, Editor
Season is here and all of our winter vistors are starting their trips to
sunny Southwest Florida. As I drive around I am seeing many out of state
tags on cars. The traffic will start getting a little heavier and and the restaurants
will become busier. The beach areas will start filling up with our Northern
and European visitors.
This year is one of the best years in a long time to get a great price on
that winter home or permanent home that you always wanted but felt couldn't
afford. Home prices have dropped about as low as they can go and a lot of
short sales are curently available. Just remember that a short sale is more
complicated may take longer than a normal offer. So the quicker you make an
offer the sooner you will know if you are going to be the new owners of a
prime Florida property.
I hope everyone has a safe, and joyful holiday season.
