Low Interest Rates - Low Inventory - Single a change coming for the Ft. Lauderdale Real Estate market

The media reported the story of gloom and doom and some buyers ran for cover quickly as they predicting things like continued decreases in real estate prices, and the famous double dip. Many in the know yawned as they heard this news, as they knew it was coming. It marked the end of the leftover deals from the government's tax credit which ended in June.
