<<Incentives for buyers and real estate agents are increasing.>>

Hey, wait just a doggone minnit here......I thought there were a few folks (not many but one or two very vocal ones) on this thread who were professing sympathy-in-advance for real estate agents and others associated with the real estate biz once the predictions came true that the market would turn down. By gawd, these poor realistate folks were going to go broke, according to the amateur forecasters, and their unemployment rates were going to soar.

No one need have felt sorry for me during the last REAL real estate downturn, and I was definitely in the real estate biz at that time.......and I'm still living off the gains. Now maybe the truth will come out as to just why......and I'm still laughing at the Justice Department's effort to sue NAR over "noncompetitiveness". Only now can the competitiveness really begin. <<gg>>

"The number of homes and condos on the market more than doubled in Broward County from July through December,"

October through April is the HIGH season for RE in Florida unlike the rest of the country. In mid summer no one in their right mind is out looking for a house. They're sitting in their bath tubs filled with ice cubes.
