Curaytor Convention! Meeting Lela Ashkarian

When I went to a Curaytor convention back in September, I was a little out of my element. I have not left the "kids", who are teens now, for years. This sweet lady was sitting at my table and we had an instant rapport. We both had lived "opposite lives". She sent me her book about her life in Beirut. I had been in Beirut at the same time as she had been there...hearing the shelling, seeing the devastation...even down to the same stormy boat ride out of Beirut to Larnaca, Cyprus. 

This was one of those moments you know God had his hands on this meeting. Lela Ashkarian-Taylor your story is amazing and you are such a strong woman to call my friend. It was years ago, but when I read your book, it took me back to a place where i still have friends I love. It is a story of love, strength of character and how she has risen to be a top agent in the Marathon Keys...love this. Susan Weinor

Peace and love to you and your loved ones this Christmas. ❤️🎄🙏

Facts About Florida Keys Market

What Do the Numbers Forecast?

The continuing trend indicated by a rising number of properties listed for sale coupled with a declining number of sales leads us to expect the market to eventually experience decreasing average sale
prices. That historic relationship has been countered, however, by an increase in the number of
sales and average sale price within the luxury property market of $1M+ properties, as shown in our Fall/Winter Luxury Island Properties Report.  With 14% fewer buyers having 17% more properties to choose among, the trend of fewer sales will continue as there is an immutable relationship between listings and sales: When listings increase, sales decrease, and vice versa. 

The question remains, “What caused this market slowdown?”  First, a large portion of the Keys real estate market consists of vacation home and second home sales.  Nationally, that sector is down over 18.5% and the Florida vacation market is down 5% according to National Association of Realtors
reports released in April of this year.  (The next update will be released at the end of October.) 
Second, the turmoil of the fall elections coupled with general global economic uncertainty appears to have created a cautious attitude regarding discretionary spending on real estate.  Many, if not most markets nationwide, are experiencing reduced numbers of sales as a result of these factors.
