This week on Central Florida Real Estate Radio, Laura shares her Exclusive Central Florida Market Stats and takes a look back at how the Central Florida housing market has changed over the past 20 years.

Laura explains why she now compiles the market statistics herself directly from the MLS each week and how consistently tracking local data helps buyers and sellers make better decisions in changing market conditions.

She also shares a real-life story from 2006, when she advised a homeowner to sell a condo before the market declined. Although the owner took a small loss, it helped her avoid a much larger financial setback as the market continued to fall.
