Now is the time to BUY! There are Sellers Markets and there are Buyers Markets. We recently experienced one of the wildest Seller's Markets ever, where properties sold for more than list price and even appraised value in the first hour on the market.
What followed was the bust we all watched and felt to various degrees. Savvy buyers (we like to call investors) are coming out of the woodwork from across the globe to invest in areas like South Florida. In any market, the term "Location, Location, Location" is thrown around as the big reason to buy. But for investors, the term is "Motivation, Motivation, Motivation."
If you are new to investing altogether, new to investing in South Florida, or both, you are in the right place! 32 West Realty is a corporate member of the Florida Real Estate Investors Association (the "FLREIA"), first in education and networking for the new and seasoned real estate investor. Details of our next events are as follows:
