Floridians optimistic about the real estate market.

Here is a link to an article about Floridians being optimistic about the real estate market.

One part that I thought worth noting was,

"Yet, other economic news suggests that Florida will weather a national slowdown. Over 1000 people a day move to the state, with nearly 440,000 new residents expected next year. Florida has one of the lowest unemployment rates, 3.5 percent, well below the national average of 5 percent. The home ownership rate is 77 percent, well over the national average of about 70 percent. Further, aging boomers and other retirees want to live in warmer climates, making the activities and casual lifestyle of Florida appealing. "

I am optimistic about the real estate market. Of course, we were due for a slow down but I see prices leveling off a bit or going up at normal levels.
