Many of you have reminded me that the number of active Construction Cranes in Miami has dropped significantly in the past year or so.

Is that a reason for economic concern? Well, that depends on who you ask.

A local economist will argue that Miami’s economy is all about 3 economic activities: Tourism, Trade and Construction.

TOURISM

With the Dollar gaining strength in recent months and with the prospects of a Global Recession, Miami’s tourism will be hurt. There is no doubt about this.

TRADE

The same Global Recession will clearly hurt our trade revenues not only with our partners south of us but also with Europe and Asia.

CONSTRUCTION

There you go, is all about “The Construction Crane Indicator”.

By anyones estimate, I would argue that as far as Condos construction is concerned, an educated guess suggest we have around 20% active cranes today vs. what we had at the peak of the Condo construction boom.

So how will Miami compensate for the lack of construction economic activity.

Well, one solution is for local government to step to the plate and engage and/or sponsored construction projects. We have seen signs of this in recent months. It was done before, in the early 80′s. Can they do it again?

Unlike the Stock Market which clearly fluctuates – 20% or more, up or down in a single week – in a manner not acceptable to those with heart problems, Real Estate markets have traditionally experienced much less fluctuation in prices with few time period exceptions such as the 2001 to 2008 years.

With every market that creates a pricing bubble and consequently crashes, prices usually tend to correct well beyond the most negative expectations. And Real Estate prices today have clearly dropped well beyond anyones expectations.

That is why today we see excellent value in real estate properties. A reason why more and more investors turn their investment eye to opportunities not seen in years in the real estate markets.

And for those of you who have concluded that the Stock Markets are far to risky and volatile for your own stage in life, consider starting or adding exposure to Real Estate assets.

Real Estate as an investment is fast recapturing the traditional safe heaven spot it has been for decades.

Today we are looking at discounts from 10% to 50% or more in some extreme cases.

If you prefer to invest your hard earned funds in a stable asset class as compared to volatile and risky stock markets, look no further than Real Estate.
