Its going to be a hard hit for sellers who bought two years ago because that's when the market was at its peak.

Even though the market isn't doing too well its not near as bad as it is in other areas.

In Alachua County there are 6400 listings on the market; thats much higher then previous years.

Vacant land has slowed down, in the last 90 days only 50 vacant lots have sold, 400 homes, and 100 condos sold.
