Condo inventory is starting to reduce as new projects cycle through closings with projects like Portside, Perlas, Puerto del Rio and Bayside contributing hundreds of units to the closing totals in Cape Canaveral. Expect the stats to show strong condo sales for the next few months as these projects close. Don't be deceived by the healthy-appearing numbers of sales as most of these were contracted a year or two ago. Current sales are still slow but activity has increased sharply from previous months. The stats from the county for all sales will show significantly higher numbers than mine which are for MLS-listed properties only.

The launch of shuttle Discovery to the International Space Station is set for Saturday afternoon. This is the same spacecraft that delivered the Hubble telescope to it's orbit in 1990. Godspeed.
[edit-July 4th] Discovery is up and on her way. Pic from the beach a few minutes ago.
