With the stock market being what it is we are seeing some relief in the Real Estate market since the property invested in is a tangible asset. Hopefully it will never be worth 0. We are having a very good month as a Real Estate company contributed to the very downturn of the financial market. Real Estate is always the safest investment if you find the value. I tell myself I won’t look at the stock market and my 401K but I can’t help myself, it is like watching a train wreck.

As far as the Merritt Island, Viera market goes in value, I do believe it is there.

Favorite listings

A home in Merritt Island, foreclosure and listed at $142,500. This home is in a great area convenient to everything and has 2000 sq ft with 2 car garage. Built in 1997, this is a good buy regardless of condition.

Merritt Island home on the Banana River, .41 acre, 2700 sq ft and built in 1997. Priced at $609,900.

Foreclosed home in Merritt Island. 1248 sq ft, 1 car garage and built in 1962, the value is the price $68,900.

I recently had a friend tell me that a agent was looking for a home in a specific price range and couldn’t find a property. The mistake the agent made was that he looked only in the price range and not above the price. In today’s market you have to search sometimes $100,000 over the price range to allow for negotiation.

Just food for thought!
