Realtor(tm) post of the day

|
I don't post much on other real estate sites or blogs, but I had to respond to this mind-bending statement from Natalia Hunter, real estate agent in Florida, on Trulia. Natalia shared the following piece of wisdom (emphasis added):

Foreclosure

  It I s perfect time for the buyers to purchase a home in Florida.  If you even remotely considering to invest in Real Estate, why not in Florida?  It is always sunny,  close to beaches and still is the most desirable place to live and or retire.  The foreclosures in FL are still available at very low and affordable prices.  Then was the last time you could buy a brand new home for $50000?  I don't remember either. 

I let the typos and the "close to beaches" part slide (pace Orlando and Gainesville residents), but "It is always sunny" after the much-publicized string of hurricanes that's been battering the state almost every year? Seriously?

2004 - Hurricane Frances

Hurricane Frances, a sluggish and super-sized storm, may leave as its legacy a singular image: The entire state of Florida, 435 miles from Tallahassee to Key West, enveloped in rain and wind.

2004 - Hurricane Jeanne

Hurricane Jeanne pushed across Florida, launching leftover storm debris, tearing apart weakened buildings, cutting power for millions, and leaving the nation's fourth most populous state dazed by relentless pounding from four hurricanes in six weeks. At least six people died during and after the storm.

2005 - Hurricane Wilma

Hurricane Wilma clobbered South Florida on Monday, October 24, 2005, with surprising strength, leaving the entire region damaged, dark and startled by the ferocity of a storm that many hadn't taken seriously enough.


And used home salespeople real estate professionals expect people to trust them with a five-to-eight-digit-price-tag expense?
