It's a quiet Sunday afternoon in West Kendall, the third quiet Sunday afternoon in a row that Olga Alvarez has opened her house to buyers.
The carpets are vacuumed, the kitchen scoured, the orange balloons and open-house signs placed on street corners. Three groups came through last week, two the week before. This time, Alvarez is hoping for The One.
At 1 p.m. sharp, she unlocks the door and settles in to wait.

The story of housing in South Florida in 2006 was one of waiting -- buyers waiting for the right price, sellers waiting for the right buyer, everyone waiting to see where an uncertain market would go. Now the question is: Will 2007 be the year the market turns around?
