Well January has passed by and we were so busy that I wasn't able to post a report. As a side note, the weather has very warm and the fishing has been great. Big dolphin are still biting, some of the winter fish have moved in but not all and the shrimp still haven't run yet?

In Real Estate we have very busy with listings and we are seeing more contracts, closings and activity in general. Lets see how the stats tuned out for January in the upper keys Real estate market.

35 properties went pending in January, 33 properties closed/sold for a sales volume of $27,900,900 through the Realtor MLS system. This is a bit of a gain over December which tends to lead us to believe that we are back in an upward trend. There is still an excessive amount of property on the market, which means that this is the best time for buyers to make a deal. There are many good deals to be had from $400,000 on up to $3,000,0000.
