Observations from inside the Florida housing market

If I had to explain the Florida residential housing market to a "non real estate" person I would say that it is like a party with a lot of men and a small number of homely women.*

Here's what that adds up to: a lot of dumpy, poorly dressed, awkwardly built or just plain ugly women are walking around looking for someone to talk to, dance with, just stand near - anything! And they are getting no attention whatsoever.

Then a moderately pretty woman arrives at the party and while this woman is really, truly nothing special, she suddenly has men elbowing each other out the way to buy her a drink. She ends up with multiple drinks and will definitely go home with someone above her true attractiveness level.

If a truly lovely woman were to arrive at the party, she would probably be mauled and torn limb from limb by over-desperate admirers.

It is starting to feel like we might be leaving this party without a date.


*Some would describe this as "business school."
