This week’s sign of the apocalypse …

By Jeff Ostrowski | Wednesday, June 14, 2006, 04:12 PM

The latest sign that the air is leaking out of the bubble: Condos are being marketed by guys standing at busy intersections holding sandwich boards touting properties for sale.

The last two times I’ve driven past Indiantown Road and Central Boulevard in Jupiter, I’ve seen the dude with the “Condos for Sale” sign on his chest and back. My colleague Pat Beall has spotted the same low-tech marketing tactic at a condo project on Executive Center Drive in West Palm Beach.

Aren’t sandwich boards supposed to be for furniture liquidation sales, tax-return preparers and, uh, sandwich shops?

And remember when the mere whisper of condos for sale drew long lines of eager buyers with deposit checks in hand?
