I was contacted by a reader yesterday wanting to know if a property that we have listed for sale was also available for lease. She proceeded to inform me that she had called on the “Craigslist ad” that “we” ran and immediately thought about “real estate scams”, so she was contacting me directly.

Oh how I’ve longed to write this article. We have been tracking the daily movements in the Tallahassee real estate market for well over 2 years now, and reporting our findings at The Market Bulletin twice per week since March of 2008.

After reading The State of the Nation’s Housing 2009 from the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University, it became clear to me that much of the rest of the country is already seeing some signs of a housing market turn. More importantly, it made me fully aware of the fact that many learned people are seeing reasons why it should and will be occurring.

But how do you predict the turn of the housing market in Tallahassee? There are so many factors involved that you cannot simply point to any one factor, so I thought I’d summarize why I think I know when the turn will begin.
