Miami was the top "turnaround town" in the country in the third quarter, according to a report from Realtor.com. The rankings look at median price appreciation, reductions in age of inventory and inventory counts, along with unemployment rates. Miami has one foreclosure for every 407 homes, an improvement over the national rate of one out of every 213. Condo sales have also increased 79 percent in the first five months of the year. Six Florida markets were included on the list, with Fort Lauderdale ranked fourth. [Sun Sentinel]

Belle Isle Ranks "Very Walkable" as a Neighborhood
According to the website http://www.walkscore.com/, Belle Isle scores 77 out of 100 for its prime location. The website score is the result of Belle Isle's proximity to restaurants, coffee shops, supermarkets, bars and other amenities.
We all know that walking is good for the environment, but there are other benefits of living in a neighborhood such as Belle Isle. The website claims that the average resident of a walkable neighborhood weighs 7 pounds less than someone who lives in a sprawling neighborhood. And a recent study shows that homes in a neighborhood with above average levels of walkability command $4000-$34,000 over homes in areas with average levels of walkability. Here's a link to that report: http://blog.walkscore.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/WalkingTheWalk_CEOsforCities.pdf.
Contact me and I can tell you many other things that make Belle Isle a great place to live.
