		<description><![CDATA[f you could position a glass dome over Lakewood Ranch—inclusive of such nearby neighborhoods as Greyhawk Landing and Heritage Harbour—you would have on exhibit a near-perfect microcosm of our region’s accelerating real estate recovery.  For within this award-winning community and its many unique neighborhoods, buyers have scooped-up the best-priced properties to such an extent that inventories of available homes have been pared-down to levels that are at, near—or below—those typically considered normal in a balanced market.  Moreover, they are confidently cherry-picking properties across all price ranges, so long as real value is at the core of every transaction.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[International buyers have always had a soft spot in their heart for Florida; particularly it’s fabulously cultured West Coast.  Not a day goes by that we don’t hear a foreign language—or heavily-accented English—being spoken in close proximity to wherever we happen to be.  For this reason, we have gone to great lengths at Michael Saunders &#038; Company to court the international buyer throughout our 35 years of service to the region.  We never take lightly the fact that a buyer from England, Canada or the European continent may be just as inclined to buy one of our sellers’ properties as someone from Michigan, Indiana or New Jersey.  ]]></description>
