Historic districts losing their cache?? Hardly!

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker

A few days ago I was at a meeting with another Realtor who used to live in, and still owns property in one of West Palm Beach's historic districts --- I do as well and would never even have thought about getting into real estate 17 years ago had not been for the historic districts here.  My Realtor buddy made a statement that he didn't think that historic districts had the same cache as they used to have!  It didn't take long for my hackles to go up! Anathema! Sacrilege!  The emotion aside, I decided not to outwardly react.  After all, if he thinks the cache is gone and doesn't promote and extol historic districts in his career - the more for me! While there isn't any area that hasn't taken the rollercoaster whammy - in the long run, especially in Florida where there isn't much "old" and one subdivision looks like the next - the historic districts will always have a cache! Touche!
