I consider our Vero Beach Beachside selling seasons to run from June thru May. If I want to compare 2009's activity to last year's, I don't compare YTD sales figures, January thru current; rather, I compare this year's June 1st-to-current figures against those for the same period last year.
So, I've compared the results of 2009's selling period of June 1 thru September to last year's, and we are up 10% across the board: Up 10% in total-dollar-volume sales; up 10% in total-unit sales, including up 10% in Single-family-detached units, and up 10% in Condominium & Townhouse units sold during the period.
These numbers bode well for the full 2009-2010 selling period, because our traditionally busy buying season begins in late October and early November, as winter threatens the northern climes. Everything I've been reading about the economy generally, even though the comments have been cautious and conditional, has been positive: residential-unit inventories are down, retail sales are growing, auto sales have increased, etc.
In addition to our increases in actual residential dollar-volume and unit sales, we in Vero Beach are seeing a significant increase in prospect traffic. We are seeing more potential buyers in all categories: big-ticket oceanfront high-end properties; lower-priced condominium units; and in pretty much every segment in between. If you or anyone you know has been considering the purchase of a seasonal property on or near the ocean, or a permanent residence here in Vero Beach, I would encourage you to plan a visit for the near future.
The rainy season is behind us, the breezes are balmy off the ocean, the "Season" is about to open, and it would be a great time to come visit Vero Beach to consider a residential investment somewhere along our 24 miles of uncrowded, unspoiled beach. In fact, let me help you or your referrals plan a visit: Call me, 772-643-4979; or visit my website, BeachsideVero; or SKYPE me at WBDavis01.
Be well, be happy, and come visit!

As for me, mine is a lifelong experience in residential real estate - so why not drop in and see me some time?
Walter is the son (of Walter Davis) and grandson (of Chester S Patten) of Greater-Boston, New England residential real estate developers. He grew up in Massachusetts' Essex and Middlesex Counties amid the sweet aromas of fresh-sawn lumber and just-mixed concrete. Following his successful careers in international business and New York investment banking, Walter was for nine years a full-time residential Realtor in New York City's northern exurbs - in the historic Westchester County town of Bedford, NY. Now, and since 2005, he is an active, successful and full-time Realtor here on the beautiful 24-mile-long barrier island of Indian River County, where he concentrates on residential communities within the City of Vero Beach and the Town of Indian River Shores (see website).
"Mine is a lifelong experience in residential real estate. My business philosophy is simple: Pay attention to your customers and provide them superlative service."
"Walter is a breath of fresh air. He certainly knows how to reach out to serious buyers and make things happen. We are very pleased with the way he sold our unique property."
"What a guy! Walter knows his market intimately and is eager to help you find what is best for you without wasting a lot of your precious time."
"That he has resided in Europe and worked in countries that many people have only read about, or seen on television, gives Walter a perspective that makes us very comfortable with him. We appreciate that. He helped us tremendously. We will recommend him to our friends and colleagues at home." (Check our Global affiliations)
