READ IT IN THE MEDIA, AND CLIENTS WILL BUY

I HAVE SAID ALL ALONG DURING THE RECESSION,  CLIENTS AND SELLERS ARE FULL OF FEAR AND ARE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO TELL THEM IT IS O.K. TO BUY.  NOT A REALTOR, BUT A NEWSPAPER, REPORTER, CABLE NETWORK ETC. IT GIVES THEM PERMISSION TO BE A "SMART BUYER".  IN MY MARKET IN NAPLES, FL, MANY BUYERS HAVE THE CASH AND ARE JUST SITTING WAITING FOR THE O.K.  WELL, THEY GOT IT. YESTERDAY, I READ IN THE WALL STREET JOURNAL AND THE NEW YORK TIMES THAT THE RECOVERY IS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE AND BOTH SAID IN SO MANY WORDS, THE MARKET HAS HIT BOTTOM.  GUESS WHAT? I HAVE HAD THREE TIMES THE SHOWINGS LAST WEEK.  I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CLIENTS CONTACT ME WITH PLANS TO COME TO NAPLES AND GET SERIOUS BEFORE "SEASON".  I REALLY DO THINK WE HAVE TURNED THE CORNER ON REAL ESTATE IN THE BUILT OUT AREAS IN NAPLES, NEAR THE BEACH. THERE IS A LONG WAY TO GO IN NEW COMMUNITIES WITH INVESTORS, AND PERHAPS THE ARMS THAT ARE COMING DUE NEXT YEAR AND BEYOND WILL LOWER PRICES, BUT I DO THINK BUYERS WILL BE BACK IN THE FOURTH QUARTER OF THIS YEAR.
