Florida's new governor Charlie Crist plans to gather the legislature in 2 weeks for a special session to focus on the skyrocketing property insurance and real estate taxes.

Homes sales are still down in this area approximately 6%, however we are seeing a nice uptick on the amount of calls and showings particularly the resale condo market.

Interest rates are still relatively low for both 15 & 30 year fixed rate mortgages. One of my clients just placed a new 30 year at 6.00 no points or closing fees.
