August 1st, 2013, Islamorada, Florida Keys. Per Jan Keller, Islamorada’s top producing Realtor. “We are definitely seeing a strong Home selling market in the Upper Keys.Properties especially waterfront are selling well in all price ranges.

When asked her opinion on why the market resurgence, Jan remarked, "There are quite a number of factors. For one, Miami is growing and doing exceptionally well. As a result, since the people who live in Miami use the Keys as a weekend getaway, the more second vacation or investment homes are sold here. In addition, the economy is recovering and Baby boomers are also looking for lifestyle changes that have less stress and better weather.

Last with the low interest rates and the pricing we have, people are definitely stepping up and buying their place in paradise. Bottom line is there has never been a better time to buy in the Upper Keys.
