Local Market Perspective, SW Florida
I was talking with a group of teachers the other day and for the first time in a few years I didn't hear them say "We can't afford to take this position in Southwest Florida". This was not the case over the past couple of years and I think that we as a community missed out on several young teachers that could have made major differences in our children's lives if the only could afford the housing at the time.

Betting Everything on the House: 3 Risky Loans to Avoid
Falling prices, sluggish sales and risky loans that let borrowers pile up debt faster than they can pay it off could put more homeowners out of their houses this year than at any other time this decade. Yet many homeowners — particularly in California, Florida and Colorado — are still purchasing or refinancing their mortgages with “exotic” loans that may keep their monthly payments low now, but when these gimmicky loans “reset” upward borrowers could lose their homes if they haven’t planned for an increased monthly mortgage payment.
