 Good News... Our Market here in Lee County Florida is showing the tangible and some intangible signs of beginning to not only stabilize, but move in a stronger direction in both pricing and number of sales. :) We have already closed more sales this year than in 2005. Optimisim is still tempered by 12% unemployment here, reluctance of lenders to part with funds, end (maybe) of the first time buyers credit, and inability of homes in our feeder markets (midwest and East coast) to sell, and agents are still selling homes (even though we are working twice as hard for alot less). Have we survived to see a newer housing dynamic or is there more nasty surprises in our future?  I feel the glass is more than half full, and re-fills are available.
