Inventories of available properties continued to decline throughout Manatee, Sarasota and Charlotte Counties; while sales were up by more than 27% in Manatee County, 19% in Sarasota County and 17% in Charlotte County.  Pending sales, a strong harbinger of closed sales to come in the next 30 to 60 days, were also up significantly.  Pendings were up 52% in Manatee County, 27% in Sarasota County and nearly 10% in Charlotte County.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A consumer survey released in April by a large nationwide real estate firm—combined with recent trends in local sales—help explain why home buyers continue to flood into our market, anxious to buy; and not at all deterred from doing so by having missed the April 30th deadline for the first time home buyer tax credit. Nearly two-thirds of the current home shoppers questioned in the survey said that the expiration of the tax credit will have little or no effect on their determination to move forward with an eventual housing purchase.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[David Ramsey, the noted financial author, radio host and TV personality who guests on such programs as The Oprah Winfrey Show, 60 Minutes and The Early Show believes that a good broker or financial advisor must possess the heart of an educator. Not a salesman.

That sentiment applies to real estate agents as well. For ours is the moral and fiduciary obligation to keep our clients and customers as well-informed as possible regarding trends in the market that will likely impact their decision to buy, sell or wait.]]></description>
