Number of Realtors drops

Real Estate Agent with EWM Realty, International 3028618

As a Coconut Grove Realtor for many years, I have seen many of my associate realtors come and go.  During the boom, we definitely saw an increase in the number of realtors.  But since the market has taken a turn for the worse, it seems that we haven't had as many realtors entering our Coconut Grove market.  Nowadays, we see the same old trusted names popping up on our for sale signs. 

The Florida Association of National Realtors proves that point with their latest numbers.  In 2007, they saw a 20% decrease in the number of Realtors here in Florida.  From 170,000 Realtors to 130,000.  I'd be interested to know exactly how many Realtors we lost here in Coconut Grove due to the slow market.

Riley,

I applaud that the numbers are decreasing!  I have seen some in my area in NC leave the market.  That will just make the market stronger for those of us still here.
