Fluctuating markets have meant wonderful buying opportunities. We are much closer to a real estate bottom than the top, and there is light at the end of this tunnel. Though many consider the past year to have been a real estate disaster, many successful sales closed in 2009, and inventory is declining. For example:
Longboat Key active listings - 593
Bird Key active listings - 37
Longboat key pending sales - 51
Bird Key pending sales - 7
2009 Longboat sales - 330
2009 Bird Key sales - 35
