DSRE Fall Newsletter

Fall Newsletter

Fall, Fall is a time in Vero , like most other parts of the country when we start to decorate the house, invite a few friends over for late afternoon conversation and maybe a football game, if they are SEC fans. Fall is when we see the boat show signs, the art shows start to spring up here and there and the Festival of Trees gets us in the mood for Christmas.

Fall, it is a great time of year.

Fall is also when we start to see moving trucks arrive, car haulers unloading in front of gated communities and restaurants opening up after a short vacation for themselves. For Realtors it is when we start to see listing activity pick up preparing for a “Season� of sale. So we look back at the past 9 months to reflect on recent sales, we evaluate our inventory to see what our competition is and we get ready. Will it be as busy as it has been, well that will be hard to beat so we will wait and see.

Please let me know if I can assist you in any way.

Tripp currently has sold 17 properties in 2012 and has 5 under contract.

History of Vero Beach & Indian River County, Florida Florida Land – Boom and Bust The '20s were possibly the most important era in the development of Florida.

It was post World War I. The automobile had been invented which enabled thousands of people from various walks of life to visit or migrate to the state in carloads. Corporations were on the rise, and people from all classes had money -- money for travel and investments. It was a time when almost anyone could get rich, and Florida land was one of the ways. If one didn’t have cash, credit was easy to obtain. Many who bought land in Florida never visited the state, but purchased property through ads.

Forbes Magazine warned that Florida land prices were not based on anything solid such as the value of the land. All that was needed to price a parcel was someone willing to buy it. And in 1925, the inevitable began to happen. Land prices had soared to such heights that people stopped buying and those who held land wanted to sell.

The Vero Beach Book Center gets all kinds of positive reviews, on all the websites. What I like, that they have done recently, is updated their website so that all their upcoming events are easy to see. This store gets so may authors to come and speak that it is very nice to be able to plan accordingly. While there, make sure to check out their Children's Bookstore next door. Fun for the entire family plus, upstairs is their bargain store so log in, see what’s going on, and go enjoy. http://theverobeachbookcenter.com

On the Home Front As I stated at the beginning of this newsletter, we love the fall. We are big SEC football fans so Saturday is a fun day at our home. My wife grew up and went to LSU so we are Tiger fans, I have always been an Auburn fan, my father went to UF so we are Gator fans and I grew up in Atlanta so we cheer for the Georgia Bulldogs too. On top of that we have a 6 year old so we love to decorate for Halloween, Thanksgiving and of course Christmas. And as Fall settles in we will too, home is so important to us and the feeling of family is one that is like no other. We have truly been blessed. I pray you have been too. We welcome the fall with open arms.
