The only way that you actually know when the market has reached the bottom is when the prices suddenly begin to go up. Even more specifically, the market is local and even more specific to properties. Texas and Florida are night and day. Looking at Real Estate as a Nationwide market as the Media tends to do is like saying the average temperature in the United States was 72 degrees today. Why do you care and what does that have to do with you and your situation.
Take from someone who deals in both markets. While Florida was screaming up Texas was going up moderately. When Florida began to pull back dramatically to where it should have been, Texas Moderated. The media is always looking back. They will not catch on that the Florida market is back until months after the turn has already been made. Then itwill be too late.
The time to get the best buys is when it is near the bottom but has not yet started to turn. Before the bottom is actually reached the Sellers are worried that their home may never sell, or how low they may have to go and are willing to negotiate aggessively to sell. While the absolute botom has not been identified the buyers are patient because there are so many options.
After the market turns the sellers will feel it, as well as the buyers, and will be much less negotiable. The buyers will begin to chase the Market up and the Sellers will be much more patient. The most heard phrase in a year of two will be: "We missed the best opportunity in years to get live the lifestyle we have always dreamed of"! In Southwest Florida we can feel that the turn is close.
One of the greatest investors of all time said, "I never bought at the absolute bottom or sold at the abslute top, but I was close enough".
Now is the time! Its heating up in Southwest Florida. Naples, Bonita Springs and Marco Island can feel the change. There are great opportunities, you just have to know where to find them. In the near future, they'll be gone.
Things are heating up in Southwest Florida in more ways than just the Thermometer.
Real Estate presents great opportunities for fine investments there. The activity has picked up substantially due to the opportunity and buyers who believe that we are at or near the bottom of this market. A friend of mine just purchased a property in Naples that originally listed for $1.2 million for $635K. Updated, remodeled and walking distance from 5th Ave. Cycling even for me. His agent who is experienced in this market estimates that it will be worth $1+ million in the reasonably near future.
Two of the agents in my Market Center have a number of $1 Million + listing under contract in Naples and Bonita Springs. Our Market Center will have its most profitable month in some time. The opportunites are there a knowledgeable buyers are back.
The opportunities are there. You just need to know where to find them or at the very least know an estremely knowledgeable agent to help you find them. The media will catch on about 6 months too late to get the best deals.

The Murphy Group takes great pride in the fact that we are almost exclusively a repeat and referral business. Our past clients would work with no one else because of the care we have shown them.
I have been involved in sales , marketing, and business development for Fortune 100 companies for over 25 years. While attending college, I worked in a steel mill then after earning his BS in Marketing, Jim joined IBM in sales. While in sales, my vision was to help each and every customer reach their objective and every once in a while, sell them something. And sell I did! This experience coupled with his years in the steel mill helped him develop personally and understand people at all levels. Jim now handles many clients for The Murphy Group and is the Operating Principal for the Keller Williams Realty Market Center in Bonita Springs/Naples, Florida.

With over 1500 transactions, real estate is still a passion for me. I love being able to spearhead a thriving real estate business and still be the "number one girl" to my husband, Jim, and Nana to my nine beautiful grandchildren. Balancing a career with family has its challenges, but my clients respect my priorities. What have I learned after twenty-five years in the business? That taking care of people never really goes out of style. That, in spite of all of the technology and readily available information, real estate is still a people business. And people always crave the personal touch. They have access to a tremendous amount of information, but they still look to us as the experts that can help them decipher the information, impart local "insider" perspective, use our wisdom to give them sound advice, and consult and guide them through complex transactions in a smooth and stress-free manner. Finally, when all is said and done, it's all about integrity. I would much rather advise a client not to buy something than to see them months later having buyer's remorse. By putting the client's interests first, I am able to build life long relationships rather than focusing on just "closing the salel" and selling real estate. I have learned that if you truly care about people and take care of them, the rest will follow and your success is inevitable. When you are considering a move or just have a real estate question, please give us a call and let us assist you in your adventure.
