Sounds like Scott has the inside view. I am an appraiser in Lee County mentioned in a post. We are moving properties, however they are entering the market at about the same rate. All good news. Many that I have worked with were abandoned construction projects. Many of those are not yet transferred, however the banks are beginning to secure them and mow the weeds. I see an excellation of listing and quickly getting rid of the inventory which would be in line with the timelines pointed out by Scott. Buy now, if you're looking at Southwest Florida as after this year, normal pre boom increases are likely. - Tue Jun 30 2009, 19:54
