Real Estate sales on the upswing in Martin County Florida

The numbers are looking good for real estate sales in Martin County Florida, which includes Stuart, Palm City, Jensen Beach, Hobe Sound and Hutchinson Island. The first quarter in 2008 showed increases in homes sales over the same period last year. This is encouraging for the housing market and sellers. Buyers are returning to beautiful and sunny Florida. We've seen quite a few buyers from Europe and Canada. These two markets have a long history of buying in this area. With the strength of the Euro and prices down, this market is a downright bargain. It won't be long until the US folks start buying again. I am seeing waterfront condos in the low 100s. Bank-owned properties are going fast as well.
