Florida Keys Real Estate--This is a good time to buy!

Keys Real Estate - now is the time to buy!

The past few weeks have been very emotional for people in the stock market.

I have a question for you---which is the best investment....stock market or Keys Real Estate??

Stock Market: 39.4% drop in 10 days.

Keys Real Estate: 27% drop over 24 months.

With real estate you are still able to enjoy your property, have pride of ownership or possibly rent it to cover some of your expenses.

It appears that we have reached the bottom of the real estate market in the Keys!
During our slowest months August & September we have now seen a trend where the number of home sales per month have increased and the average sales price have went up.

Additionally the government rescue plan will take foreclosure and short sales property off the market.

So if you have been waiting for the right time to buy it is now! Cash is king, so if you've taken money out of the market you can buy your Keys dream property at a reduced price compared to a few years ago. If you wait too long, the sellers will see the market has bottomed and will start increasing their asking prices or become less flexible with their negotiating positions.

If you want a mortgage and have good credit there are a number of mortgage companies including Century Funding that can assist you.

I am available to help you find the property your looking for, just give me a call or send me an email and I'll do everything I can to locate the perfect property for you.
