In the midst of all the complaining about the abysmal real estate market, there is one company who is providing a ray of hope. While other construction and development companies continue their "woe is me" attitude, GL Homes is providing inspiration. While other companies in the industry are making huge cutbacks, and bringing development to a virtual indefinite standstill, How is this one company chugging along in a market where other developers have all but given up, blaming market and economic downturns for their poor performance? One reason is because GL Homes recognized the change in the market and changed with it. The homes that were being sold almost faster than they came on the market a few years ago experienced such huge price inflations that they have been hardest hit. So, GL Home is going after other market sectors. For example, the 55+ communities did not experience the same inflation that other communities did, and different life circumstances of the residents makes these neighborhoods still in demand in south Florida. GL recognized these facts, and changed its strategy to focus on this market. The success GL has had lately amidst the failings of others makes you wonder: if more companies and home sellers adjusted their strategy to the market conditions, might the overall real estate market make a comeback sooner?
