Islandia Real Estate is thankful for our relationships with the customers we are serving.  Islandia is the Market Share leader on the island of St. John with a listing volume of $172,303,468.00 of beautiful St. John properties. With over 32% of the market, we lead with the next highest real estate company coming in at 18.03%, or an inventory of $96,755,980.

The Wall Street Journal came out with an uplifting report today, “Home Values Post 12 Straight Months of Increases.”   http://blogs.wsj.com/developments/2012/11/21/report-home-values-post-12-straight-months-of-increases/ .  The axiom of the real estate business states that “all real estate is local.”  With that being said we continue to have a large number of properties available for buyers, and we have seen the activity dramatically increase these past two weeks on showing appointments.  We are thankful that markets across the nation are experiencing heightened demand, increased sales, declining inventories and gently rising prices.  These are the trends that will ultimately lift the housing market out of its worst slump ever.  This is good news for our market, there are buyers that must first sell properties elsewhere before committing to properties here.

Have a great Thanksgiving! Contact  Jane@islandiarealestate.com, 941.544.5855 & 340.776.6666  www.islandiarealestate.com
