“A growing number of Realtors in Florida are frustrated with the state and national Realtors groups’ efforts to ’spin’ the market as one that is strengthening and where home prices are stabilizing.

“Many (though probably not yet most) Realtors are frustrated by customers who continue to list their homes at price levels that are ‘unrealistic,’ and as a result, sales volumes - and thus commissions - continue to remain depressed.

“While Realtors have noted to customers that many home builders in Florida have slashed new-home prices in order to move bloated inventories, many home sellers are still holding off, hoping - along with FAR and NAR - that prices will start moving back up soon.”
