    S. Florida house market takes a plunge!

    http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/loc...home-headlines

    "The market's done a complete 180-degree reversal," said Jack McCabe, a Deerfield Beach housing consultant. "It's a stare-down between buyers and sellers, and as time passes, the pressure's on the seller, not the buyer."

    Sales fell by 34 percent last month compared with June 2005, the Florida Association of Realtors said Tuesday. It was the 24th consecutive month of declining sales in Broward.


    Glad I didnt buy last december when I was looking. Looks like some decent deals are comming on the market in the next 6-12 months

              The real estate markets are insane in most of the biggest cities. The average person has been priced out of the market.

              You simply reach a point where the price of housing is so out of synch with the population's income and affordability factors, that the buyer base literally evaporates and you end up with panic selling as property investors try to get out with anything they can.

                  prices are really going to bottom out as over $2 trillion.. that's with a "T" are about to reset their ARMs (Adjustable Rate Mortgages). you are about to see home foreclosures left and right... and that too will help to decrease home values. looks like i'll be getting that larger house that i wanted sooner than i had hoped!

                  oh.. and in South Florida, property values have already fallen at least 15% in some areas and as much as 20% in others. and that once white hot condo market?.... well... it's gone kaplooie!

                    Friend of mine just picked up a property listed for $500K for only $325K. That pretty much shows the reality of the market.

                              exactly correct.

                                    Now is the time to buy... I don't have anything in FL. My friend just sold a house in Cape Coral last mth. He's holding a water lot right now. I thought about picking up something in FL, decided against it. I'm about to close on a condo in my area (investment)

                                    If you aren't in real estate right now, GET IN IT! At least have 1 investment property and hold it

                                        Unless incomes go up dramatically, overbuilding stops and interest rates come down, which isn't happening anytime soon, the RE market is going to stay in a depressed state or extremely marginal growth posture for many years.

                                            I've noticed it seems the only thing that's selling here in the Daytona area is condo conversions. The house market seems to be dead.
                                            In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.

                                                I'm excited, there's a home here listed for 420, that 3 years ago sold for 270, If it reaches what levels it should I'll pick it up when it hits 300 or so.

                                                    anyone every look into modular homes? not mobile homes.. but modular. basically prefab homes, built on an assembly line like mobile homes, but brought on flat beds in pieces and put on a solid foundation.

                                                    PalmHarbor Homes has some beautiful ones... and the building codes on these are unbelievable... especially for florida homes. you got a better chance of surviving in one of these in a hurricane than a site built home!

                                                        to be honest living down here I would really prefer a CBS home to a mod

                                                        Just would feel safer durring a storm
