Where are the trends?

We have a couple of trends that I like to point out, one of the trends was in my previous post relating to a price stability of some communities, others I will go through now.

First, we all know the state of the economy, still not good. However, what does the Orlando economy look like? UCF recently came out with Florida & Metro Forecast and Income growth is expected to go up 4.9% annually. This additional income, IF inflation stays in check, will actually make a significant bump to the consumers in our area. The Professional and Business Services is expected lead the industries in the area with a respectable 3.6% growth rate, then Education and Health Services, thanks to the medical city in Lake Nona area, is expected to grow at 2.8%. Some areas will decrease, one mentioned was Mining... we have mining in Florida?

In the real estate arena, we have a decent amount of federal money coming to "improve or demolish" foreclosed properties, in the amount of $34.5 million. There are a number of mentions of projects coming to the area which are the reasons we see the better economic look. What is more than a little disturbing is, who really is getting the fed money? Who owns most of these properties after foreclosure? The freakin' banks, super, they need more money from tax payers right?
