Having a place to go – is a home. Having someone to love – is a family. Having both – is a blessing. ~Donna Hedges

The Northeast Florida Association of Realtors market stats for November continue the positive trends we have seen all year. The pending sales were up 15% over last November and 23% year to date.

Closed sales were down 2% from last November but up 23% year to date.

I’d rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are; because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star. I’d rather be a has-been than a might-have-been, by far; for a might have-been has never been, but a has was once an are.” — Milton Berle
