Market Update
The price per square foot of single family homes has stabilized over the past two years. Inventory has decreased to a point where the number of sales and the prices of homes are increasing. The projected price increase in property values is 2-3% which is a sign of a healthy real estate market. The majority of new single family home developments are in the $300,000-$700,000 range.
Due to limited availability of large tracks of land, there will be no new luxury golf communities developed. Most luxury golf communities are re-developing their clubhouses and updating their amenities to improve the overall lifestyle experience.
Foreclosures have decreased significantly. Shadow inventory still exists, however, banks are holding properties longer because prices are increasing and they may be able to recoup some of their other costs.

Golf Tip of the Month
 Don't sit down for this shot. One of the more difficult shots in golf is the one where the ball is below your feet.Most golfers fear this shot and end up hitting the ball weakly to the right of the target or missing the shot badly.To hit this shot, do not go into a sitting stance as many golfers commonly do.This stance places your weight back and will cause you to move forward on the swing.The best way to play this shot is to stand a little wider, aim to the left, and minimize any leg movement by swinging mostly with your upper body.This keeps your base still and allows for good contact.Grip the club at the top of the handle and bend slightly from your knees and a little more from your waist.Swing around your spine and concentrate on not making any excessive moves during the swing.
