Let's Get REAL Estate

Something we all have learned from the recent real estate crash is that the Housing Industry and the Economy are tied closely together. In the areas where we see housing recovering, you generally see the economy recovering. That is VERY evident here in the Fort Lauderdale, Wilton Manors area. Our tourism is at levels not seen for a LONG time. Our development is recovering as we see more business opening and being built on Wilton Drive. OUR prices are NOT dropping...they are edging upward. All of these are VERY good signs! The problematic side of all of this is that it is an election year. Usually, very little is able to get done and we end up stalling. Hopefully, legislation that was already enacted will be enough to see us through the year because I doubt we will see anything new and bold being done or being ABLE to be done.

Cross your fingers and hope for some moderation of our political parties! Only then will we see big progress!
