It seems like all over the U.S. the housing market is finally starting to pick up a little bit. Some states better than others of course but most of Florida is still behind and lacking in growth. That is true for most counties in Florida but I believe Brevard County to be weathering the storm very well if not getting out in front of it. Now don't get me wrong. We have a lot of high priced homes in Brevard County due to our numerous lakes, rivers and Ocean complexes but most average costing homes seem to be selling fairly quickly if not right away. I have had numerous buyers finding many properties they loved on sites like zillow and trulia but when it came time to check on the homes in the MLS they were all taken. I even showed a home one morning in which I asked the listing agent the night before if there were contracts on it and there were not. I called her the next morning on the day of the showing and there was already a contract placed on it. Not even 12 hours later. So what does that say to me for our market here in Brevard County. They are picking up!
Sellers need not to worry that much anymore unless they are completely upside down in their mortgage. Good times are here to stay it seems. Sellers are listing more often and selling even more. Now our job as realtors is harder than ever. We have to maintain this upward movemement that seems to be taking place. We need to do everything we can to make sure things stay in a positive manner. Believe it or not but when you sell a home you dont just make a commission for yourself but you help many other people to keep on working too.
Lawn care workers, painters, cleaners, construction workers and many more people prosper when home sales go up. We as Realtors have a great impact on the local economy when we do our jobs well. So take a look at the numbers for home sales and median sales prices. We are in a good position now. We work hard to stay above the rest. If we can keep things moving in this direction we set a future that will be a profitable and enjoyable one. Not just for us but for the community as well. Keep on keeping on and do your best to keep Brevard County one of the best places in the U.S. to live.
