I was wondering how many of us work in South Florida? And is it me or are things incredably SLOW!?

a little slower here in vero beach.

South Central Gulf Coast is slower but still fairly brisk. Most of our market is now dominated by short sales instead of REO.

We cover Sarasota and Charlotte Counties and Sarasota county has a significant reduction in foreclosures in August compared with a year ago. Charlotte County is still up year over year.

However, our last assignment was a short sale that had 2 active offers when it was foreclosed which could be an indicator that the short sales are not coming to fruition. But, I am seeing many short sales close now where it was fairly rare.

In the lower price ranges 90% are now short sales. It is actually getting hard to find good comps for REOs because we can not use short sales for active comps just for solds.

Maybe I should be more specific I was wondering about Miami-Dade and Broward Counties.

But it is interesting that "South Central Gulf Coast is slower but still fairly brisk" Thanks Grampa
