Even though Las Vegas is still the number 1 hot-spot to relocate to, Orlando and the Tampa/St. Pete area made the top 10 list of most popular relocation areas in this nation. According to Relocation.com these results are very similar to the 2007 results. We in the Orlando and the Tampa area can celebrate as this puts a little pressure or band aid, to our bruised and battered market.
We can also celebrate that our sales have gone up about 21% in December of 2008 compared with December 2007. 1076 homes sold in December of 2007 compared to 1305 homes sold in December of 2008. Leading the way in these sales are investors, that are buying the homes, penny's on the dollar compared to the high prices of 2005 and 2006.
