Spring Real Estate Outlook

When market conditions change one of the first questions we ought to be asking ourselves
is "What are my Goals ?"

If your goal is to buy pre-construction properties and quickly flip them to other
investors then you need a new approach or a new market.

Our area is not going to be a flippers paradise for some time to come.

However if your goal is to find that second home at the beach or on the bay you
should be fine.

We have an excellent inventory to choose from in most price ranges and sellers are
now more willing to listen to the needs and wishes of buyers than they have been
in several years making buying a more pleasant experience.

And if you want to move to the beach and make this your permanent home you are in
the right place at the right time.

Why?

Because for the next 18 years 4 million baby boomers a year are going to retire
and many of them have selected Florida as their Dream Destination . Because of this
property values are projected to continue to outperform average appreciation rates.
There is simply not enough prime property to satisfy the expected demand.

There is after all only 1 Florida in the USA and only 1 Emerald Coast in Florida.
