I'm seeing a trend for real estate in Jacksonville, Florida. The homes going under contract are starting to increase and the remaining amount of inventory is decreasing since January 2008. This is a good sign, however it doesn't neccesarily mean we've reached the bottom. Normally in Northeast Florida, we start to see an increase in activity in March and as we get closer to school letting it out, the activity becomes more brisk. This could be what we're seeing. It's strange to say this, because 2007 was brutal for sellers, but the numbers in 2007 still look better than 2008.The gap should start to shorten in the coming months.
