“I learned that if you want to make it bad enough, no matter how bad it is, you can make it.” Gale Sayers

It has been a very long 5 years for all of us but we can all get inspiration from Chicago Bears running back Gale Sayers. I believe our perseverance is paying off as we experience continued good signs for our real estate market.

He was the Chief Economist for the National Association of Realtors for many years and is now in the same position with the Florida Realtors.  Dr. Tuccillo’s opinion is that when we see the following three trends in unison we can rely on improvement in the real estate market:

1. A decline in the number of new listings
2. A decline in the time a listing stays on the market
3. An increase in the ratio of selling price to listing price Read more
