In December I posted Have we reached the bottom in the Fort Lauderdale Real Estate Market? 

There are many opinions on this and many are conflicting.  If you remember, I quoted Suze Orman, “It is only when prices start to go up that we’ve reached a bottom.”

I will be watching the next few months closely to see if figures, specifically pending sales continue on an upward trend.

If you have been on the fence about buying, it may be time to consider that interest rates are attractively low and home prices for the most part have rolled back to 2004 levels.
