It seems these days we hear so much doom and gloom about the real estate market, when actually there’s no better time to buy right now – at least in Florida.

According to the Florida Realtors long term economic and demographic trends continue to be favorable in Florida and that’s expected to continue into the future. In fact, it’s estimated by 2010 that Florida state will be the third in density and by 2030 there’s a projected 75% increase in population. After all it is one of the fastest growing state.

According to the UF Bureau of Economic and Business Research each day 900 new people move to Florida – that’s about 300,000 residents every year. Of course that kind of growth will create a real estate demand, and demand leads to price increases, just another reason why you should buy now.

Current interest rates are just another reason why now is an excellent time to buy into the market. Rates haven’t been this low since the 1960’s. Those rates can’t hold forever so why not get into the market while both prices and interest rates are still affordable.

An added bonus is the probability that you will be able to sell the property you buy now for substantially more in the not so distant future. So even if you decide Florida isn’t for you, your pocket books going to thank you.

Still not sure whether home ownership is for you? Here’s a few stats to consider:

•          Home ownership leads to financial growth and personal well-being.
•          Children raised in homes that their parents own are much more likely to stay in school, and earn more during their lifetime.
•          Homeowners have better relationships with their neighbors.
•          According to the National Association of Realtors® in just 5 years there has been a 50% increase in value.

So why wait? Why not get into one of the fastest growing market out there?
