Culling the herd

Among real estate professionals the herd is being culled.

By the time we come out of the down market to a stable one for consumers you will see that the strong survived.

Why is this important buyers and sellers in Manatee and Sarasota counties?

It means that the competent professionals are gaining business as the field gets smaller.

These numbers are from Trendgraphix which tracts real estate statistics across the country.

Year to date:

-209 out of the 389 real estate offices in Manatee County reported at least one sales so far this year of those, 140 reported two or more sales.

As of April there were only 366 offices reported in Trendgraphix, of those 124 had sales in April, 82 recorded two or more sales.

In April there were 1342 agents according to Trendgraphix, of those 299 had recorded at least one sale (buyers specialists, such as myself, record there information under the agent who leads the team).

Year to date there were 1426 agents (yes there has been a bit of drop) of those 693 have had recorded sales, 366 reported two or more sales.

As of the end of 2006 there were 1556 agents and 421 offices.

All the best
