Wanna drive the minivan to the Caribbean? No Worries we Gotcha Covered!

florida keys real estate

The Florida Keys offer a unique real estate product unlike anywhere else in the world. We have tropical weather year round and Caribbean like turquoise water. No where else can you find gorgeous islands accessible by car in the continental United States. We are the Caribbean you get to in your minivan.

Everything about the Florida Keys screams Caribbean. I mean where else can you go to church and be preached to by a guy in shorts and a flowered shirt? Or, where dressing for dinner means putting on your “good flip flops”? The Keys lifestyle is relaxed, casual and unrushed.

Dinner out in the Keys is best enjoyed under a thatched roof tiki hut on a picnic table overlookiflorida keys real estateng the many shades of blue water. Fresh fish has new meaning as your dinner was probably caught in local waters that same day.

Of course there is a guy playing guitar and he knows all the Jimmy Buffet songs and has a long grey ponytail.

Life is always good in the Florida Keys and real estate opportunities are amazing right now. No matter where you live you are just minutes from views of our lapis colored waters.

Florida Keys Real Estate Market is READY FOR CHANGE!

If you have been in the real estate business for 20+ years, like I have, you know one thing is for sure, the market changes. I've seen double digit interest rates, seller's markets, the lowest rates in 40 years and buyer's markets. One thing is for sure whatever market we are in, it will change.

You can almost feel the swell getting ready to errupt in my market. Our inventory is down almost 50% and buyers are starting to buzz that, now is the time to buy because we are likely at or near the illusive bottom of the market.

Several recent articles also encourage me that change is in the air.......

FLORIDA HOME SALES UP

Florida's existing home sales increased in March, making it the seventh month in a row that sales activity demonstrated gains in the year-to-year comparison, according to the latest housing data released by the Florida Association of Realtors® (FAR).

ECONOMY

HOME SALES Activity

Multiple bidding for homes has picked up in recent months in Florida and other states hit hard by foreclosures and steep price drops, according to real estate industry experts.
