2013 has come and gone. All of us at Keller Williams hope you had a safe and happy holiday season. Southwest Florida has seem many changes over the past year, both good and bad, and there is a lot in store for 2014. We have seen the addition of Hertz, the world's largest car rental agency build it's headquarters right here in Estero, bringing hundreds of jobs and income to the area. We saw the Boston Red Sox give us a beautiful new Spring training facility that has brought concerts, shows, and many other events that Fort Myers has not had the ability to hold in the past.
We are also starting to see an upswing in home values in the area. This is wonderful news for anyone either looking to move here or anyone who owns a home here. Real estate value says a lot about the economy in your town. A rise in home prices shows growth in the commercial side as well as residential side. Real estate closing contracts are at an all time high for transactions each month. And the number only goes up every month. The same goes for commercial real estate. Businesses are popping up everywhere. Anything from small businesses to huge corporations are finding profit right here is SWFL.
So what can we expect from 2014. Well no one knows for sure, but I have my thoughts. We can expect to see growth in both commercial and residential sales. We will see even more mega businesses decide to make SWFL their home. We should also see more small businesses take their chances in SWFL to grow and expand. This area is booming and getting better day after day. So it's time to hop on the roller coaster that is SWFL! It may be a bumpy ride, but one things for sure, it's gonna be fun!
