Why Buy Real Estate in Florida?

Florida is still experiencing astonishing growth despite the slowdown in the Real Estate Market across the Nation. Living by the water in sunny Florida is still the #1 reason people move to Florida.

Studies conducted in 2006 reports that the population and development of land in Florida will DOUBLE over the next 50 Years. "With 18 Million residents in 2005". What will Florida look like in 2060 when the population is 36 Million? What will Real Estate cost then?

"CHARLOTTE, LEE, and COLLIER counties are expected to build-out before 2050. Research indicates this expansion in population will cause an almost continuous band of urban development along the Southwest Florida coast and population will spillover to adjacent inland counties.(DeSoto, Glades and Henry counties.) The result will be an almost continuous urban strip linking these counties to the East coast of Florida. 

Ignore the Newspapers--Ignore the temporary slow-down in Real Estate sales and Housing prices. When this slow period is over we are going to have another Huge building boom. Buy Now and stop worrying about where is the exact bottom of the Real Estate Market. The Market has adjusted we are seeing prices of Homes and Vacant lot at 1Q 2005 prices and on the rise. We are going to look back and see that 2008 is going to be one of the best  buying opportunities in our lifetime to buy Real Estate in Florida. 

If you are on the Real-Estate sidelines debating on whether this is the right time to invest-Don't wait too Long.  Having 13 Years of experience trading on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange I can tell you that market conditions are indicating that NOW is the time to BUY! Once the market starts going up, it will be harder to get that bargain.

Florida is experiencing dramatic transformation, and it's New developments are reshaping the West coast of Florida. Charlotte County is the last Waterfront community to be developed on the southwest coast of Florida. Charlotte County Engineers are estimating the current 2005 population of 160,000 people will Double in the next 10 Years. Waterfront residences are a limited resource: current legislation does not allow for new dredging of any new canals. 

Buy now before expansion is complete 78 Million Baby Boomers will retire in the next 10 Years (as 8,000 turn 60 everyday). Everyone wants to live in a warmer climate. Statistics show that 25% of America's population is expected to retire in Florida. The increase of other countries's population to the state of florida is increasing in exponential form.
