The Year 2009

2009 will not be the breakout year in housing unless you are a Realtor!  Having closed 2 single family building companies in SW Florida since moving here in 2005, then 2 days before Thanksgiving this year being fired I know the difficulty hew homes sales people are and will be in.  Being fired is not something positive but when certain things happen find the positive in the event.  I have.  There are few if any new homes that have been built in 2008, less than 1600 down high of 28,800 in 05.  I would say pretty devastating.  but now on the positive all these house have to be SOLD.  Banks will get real, sellers will get real and buyers and Realtors will be the winner.  Long term we all win.  Credit card debit will go down, or at least mine will.  Putting the right elements in place, creating the right environment in place building the right team will make 09 a good year in general real estate.  I have lots of houses at bargain prices in SW Florida.  Love to pay referrals.  E-mail or call me.  Good luck in09!
