Area 104 - State Road 50 (Cheney Hwy) to Kings Hwy
16 properties are under contract ranging in price from $89,000 to $875,000 30 houses have closed in the past 6 months Applying the Absorption Rate Formula would indicate taking 23.5 months to absorb the current inventory of homes in this particular area. However if I add in the homes under contract (without accounting for any new listings prior to these closings) the absorption period is reduced to 15.25 months. It is my belief that the market has stabilized and we are entering a period where the public begins to understand that a shift is in progress. We are coming out of a buyers' market which began August 2005. It was long and it was hard, but normalcy is returning to the area. What occured is natural in the real estate cycle, but I don't think we are headed for a major sellers' market anytime soon.

The following Article and Study by FAR (Florida Association of Realtors)
and NAR (National Association of Realtors) helps put things in perspective
when it comes to our housing market. The thing I take away is the fact
that 2007 was the 5th best year on record for existing home sales. It
was only normal that some of the enormous gains we saw during the boom
years had to be given back. We now have tremendous buying opportunities,
interest rates are terrific (years ago one of the houses I bought was financed
at 16.5%, refinanced at 13%, refinanced again at 10% and again at 8.5%).
People will always need houses; it's estimated that 1000 people a day move
into Florida - however, I've not seen a number published about how many a
day move out of Florida ;-) More insurers are writing in Florida than a couple
years ago. The Tax Portability Bill passed which will be very beneficial to those
who owned their homes prior to 2003. A 10% cap on annual assessment
increases for non-homestead property should stimulate that segment of the
market.
All in all this is a great time to buy. Believe me when I tell you the
deals will NOT be as sweet when the market goes back up as they are right
now. It's a matter of when, not IF! I've highlighted some of the more
salient points as they pertain to our general area. If you have any questions
or thoughts on the following, please don't hesitate to give me a call or send
me an email.

I made the decision at the end of 2007 to leave Coldwell Banker, in favor of starting my own company. It's certainly been a hectic few weeks covering all the items that accompany such a decision. Hectic, but also fun and exciting! Meetings with the designer working on my image are nearing an end and I'm very much looking forward to getting the materials and signs printed up. I'm working from my home office, which is pretty much how it's always been. The best part is there was never a moment of doubt despite what some would have had me believe. Already had 1 closing with 2 more sales closing this month and two, possibly three buyers are being nurtured along. It's all good and just wanted to let you know there is life after the franchise!

Making a move is never easy! Coming to another state, knowing zero about the
area, is much harder. That is why we appreciated Gail MacMillan of Home Sweet
Home Florida Realty so much. She was much more than a realtor! She was a
friend, a mentor and an invaluable resource for needed information all rolled
into one. She knew just the kind of home we were looking for and only directed
us to those that would fall into that category preventing a waste of time. Once the
purchase was decided upon, she was a dynamo at getting together a list of local
information it would have taken us much time to gather. Gail truly made our
"Home Sweet Home" one we will love for a long time to come. For anyone new
to the Florida scene, and looking for that just right home, believe that picking that
RIGHT realtor is the key to a happy "Home Sweet Home" outcome.

As a first time home buyer, I was expecting a long, drawn-out process Gail was such a joy to work with. She got our house on the market, under
of finding and purchasing a home in Titusville. But my actual
experience was a breeze, thanks to Gail's services throughout the
entire process. She is very knowledgeable about the area, which made
finding the perfect home in a nice neighborhood a snap! It was clear
early on that Gail has an excellent eye for detail and was extremely
thorough during (and after) the time we worked together. Overall she
is a superb agent and a pleasure to work with, I cannot recommend her
highly enough!

contract and closed - all in 45 days. Her hard work and dedication to her
clients is evident in her passion for her work. We couldn't have done it without
Gail. She was able to solve any problem and make the buying, selling, and
moving process as simple as possible. I would highly recommend her to
ANYONE! Thanks Gail for all of your help.
Jennifer and Steven Lea
I would highly recommend Gail MacMillan for your real
estate needs. She is a hard working, dedicated Real Estate
Professional. In a difficult real estate market she was able
to sell my father's house and my personal residence within
a reasonable period of time. Great job!
Howard W. Rinker DDS
My husband and I were moving back from a job overseas
and got in touch with Gail MacMillan on the web to
help us find a house in Brevard County. She was very
helpful, sending many houses matching our needs and
price range to preview over the web. When we arrived
in Florida, she had more options for us to look at
also. She spent many days with us looking at houses
and several months of corresponding with us in Turkey.
All her hard work paid off as we are very happy with
our new home. She made the mortgage application
process and the closing very easy also. We would
highly recommend Gail and her agency for your real
estate need in Brevard County.
Laurie and Mike Flynn
Dear Gail,
We apologize for this long overdue thank you. Actually, we know we've
taken longerto write this note than it took for you to sell our property
once you had the listing. You have no idea how easy you made our job.
We were concerned, as court appointed Personal Representatives trying
to sell a property in a weak residential market. We talked with friends
and you came so highly recommended we couldn't wait to get our listing
to you. Within a week of your taking over, we had an offer. The entire
transaction was completed within what seems like a couple of weeks.
We are ever so thankful to you. From the beginning we knew we were in
the right hands. Your enthusiasm, terrific marketing know-how and great
attitude is refreshing and positive. You are the consummate professional.
You've made us, the heirs to the property, and new buyer family so happy.
We look forward to doing business with you again, in the future, and wish
you much deserved success.
Kathleen M. Ellis
Personal Representative
Gail, Hi Gail, Dear Gail, Natalie Drapac
It feels so good to finally be home again in Florida! We want you to know that
we could not have accomplished any of our relocation with out YOU! When we
first began our process of moving, things seemed so overwhelming, looking at
web sites, viewing literally hundreds of houses, and all the while trying to sell
our house in South Carolina! I will never forget the first time you called to
"check in" and when our conversation ended I felt very relieved.......you were
a breath of fresh air and I felt like I had known you forever! How someone can
be so professional, yet personable, was beyond belief! My family and I would
like to thank you for everything you did from just being there for "support" and
"encouragement", to finding a place we can temporarily call home until we
purchase our next house. You truly went above and beyond and we are very
content where we are residing; you certainly covered all bases in all of our
requests! We would also like to mention that the timely fashion you completed
our transaction in was and remains very much appreciated! You are truly a gem
and a fine, fine professional. Thank you for continuing to listen to our desires in
purchasing our next house and for always responding positively and enthusiastically!
Most importantly, thank you for respecting how very important our children's needs
and futures are to us in regards to our "home".......... We all thank you from the
bottom of our hearts! You are an inspiration to all!

Gail is the best asset you could have when buying or selling a home! She was
always helpful and attentive during the process of buying our first home. She
found us the perfect home, and even when the buying process got a little bumpy-
due to negotiations with the sellers- Gail stuck by our side until the end. She
followed through on everything that she said she would. We would recommend
her to all of our friends and family, and look forward to working with her again
in the future! Thank you again for everything!
Greg and Sloan Rawl
It was a pleasure to work with on the sale of our property. I deal with
Realtors on a daily basis in my work in Seattle and found you to be
among the best I have worked with. You were honest and you worked
hard to get the best price in a difficult market. The sale went through with
minimum effort on my part. Thanks so much for your help. If I ever get
any properties to sell in Florida in any of my bankruptcy cases I will be
sure to give you a call and will recommend you to any of the other
Trustees as a reference.
Sincerely,
Michael McCarty
I wanted to express how impressed my husband and I were with your
performance as our realtor. Every promise you stated when we first
met was not only kept, but exceeded our expectations. Your level of
professionalism is impeccable and should be an example to others in
your field. We were the most impressed with your marketing capabilities
with the sale of our home. In the short four weeks it to took to sell our home,
you arranged two open houses and a broker tour. Not to mention the overnight
advertising of our house on the MLS, the yard signage and flyers. Wow!
Thank you for protecting our interests and your level of care in doing so.
We hope you share these comments with others.
