Yes, indeed, it will be a great year, providing there are plenty of jobs available. The Miami Chamber of Commerce needs to start contacting large corporations in the USA or even abroad, about moving one of their plants to the Miami, Dania areas so that people moving to the Miami area will have jobs to go to.

When people have good paying jobs, they tend to expand on their creature comforts, and buying real estate is one of those creature comforts.

So, as real estate professionals, you need to start getting the Miami Chamber of Commerce and the Mayor Office engaged in attracting American and foreign corporations to your area, maybe offering tax breaks and other incentives that large international corporations would be interested in having for opening a large plant, building their particular products in the Miami area. If you want a robust 2008 in the real estate market, sitting on your hands won't accomplish this, but actively attracting the larger corporations to expand in your cities is the way to create this new market for your profession.

Thank you,

Florida will take another 5 years to recovery. Too expensive and financing doesn't make the situation better and allot of investors filing bankruptcy. So it will take time, not only in Florida, everywhere. Good Luck!

It is tough to say. Too many people have moved there, only to find out that they can't afford it, but a rercovery cycle is due, and January sounds like an ideal time for newcomers to buy property.

No, it will be a buyer's market. The days of the easy to aquire loans are over for quite a while and the Miami area is quite over-extended.

Have you missed the news on the home loan meltdown fiasco or is this one of those wishful thinking questions?
