Fall

Newsletter

Tripp currently has sold 17 properties in 2012 and has 5 under contract.

Fall,

Fall is a time in Vero , like most other parts of the country when we

start to decorate the house, invite a few friends over for late afternoon

conversation and maybe a football game, if they are SEC fans. Fall is

when we see the boat show signs, the art shows start to spring up here

and there and the Festival of Trees gets us in the mood for Christmas.

Fall, it is a great time of year.

Fall is also when we start to see moving trucks arrive, car haulers

unloading in front of gated communities and restaurants opening up af-

ter a short vacation for themselves. For Realtors it is when we start to

see listing activity pick up preparing for a “Season” of sale. So we look

back at the past 9 months to reflect on recent sales, we evaluate our in-

ventory to see what our competition is and we get ready. Will it be as

busy as it has been, well that will be hard to beat so we will wait and

see.

Please let me know if I can assist you in any way.

History of Vero Beach & Indian River County, Florida

Florida Land – Boom and Bust

The '20s were possibly the most important era in the development of Florida.

It was post World War I. The automobile had been invented which enabled

thousands of people from various walks of life to visit or migrate to the state

in carloads. Corporations were on the rise, and people from all classes had

money -- money for travel and investments. It was a time when almost any-

one could get rich, and Florida land was one of the ways. If one didn’t have

cash, credit was easy to obtain. Many who bought land in Florida never vis-

ited the state, but purchased property through ads.

Forbes Magazine warned that Florida land prices were not based on any-

thing solid such as the value of the land. All that was needed to price a par-

cel was someone willing to buy it. And in 1925, the inevitable began to hap-

pen. Land prices had soared to such heights that people stopped buying and

those who held land wanted to sell.

The Vero Beach Book Center gets all kinds of positive re-

views, on all the websites. What I like, that they have

done recently, is updated their website so that all their

upcoming events are easy to see. This store gets so may

authors to come and speak that it is very nice to be able

to plan accordingly. While there, make sure to check out

their Children's Bookstore next door. Fun for the entire

family plus, upstairs is their bargain store so log in, see

what’s going on, and go enjoy.

On the Home Front

As I stated at the beginning of this newsletter, we love the fall. We are big

SEC football fans so Saturday is a fun day at our home. My wife grew up

and went to LSU so we are Tiger fans, I have always been an Auburn fan,

my father went to UF so we are Gator fans and I grew up in Atlanta so we

cheer for the Georgia Bulldogs too. On top of that we have a 6 year old so we

love to decorate for Halloween, Thanksgiving and of course Christmas. And

as Fall settles in we will too, home is so important to us and the feeling of

family is one that is like no other. We have truly been blessed. I pray you

have been too. We welcome the fall with open arms.
