Ft. Lauderdale Statistics are Looking Good
If you are thinking of looking for Homes for Sale in Ft. Lauderdale you may want to speak to a local expert with local numbers.
Yesterday people who follow national real estate trends heard a number that housing starts had dropped 10% last month and reacted with gloom and doom. I know that the housing starts number is a reflection of employment in the construction industry and we need employment to start growing. However, wouldn't it also make sense that for exsisting housing inventories to shrink, housing resales to pick up, and prices to stablize, starts would have to drop. In the Fort Lauderdale Real Estate Market the housing starts number has never been a measure of the health of our market. With little to no available land it is clear that our housing starts number is never going to be a huge measure of our real estate markets health.
