How much lower can the interest rates go? How much longer should you wait to purchase property? How much longer should you wait to sell?  No one has a crystal ball. National Association of Realtors Economists say the housing industry is on the way to recovery in 2012. So many things to consider before you decide. Allow me to help you with those decisions. Contact me today.

Do you owe more money on your home than it  is worth? Have you considered a short sale?

If your short sale has not closed by 12/31/2012 YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY FEDERAL INCOME TAX  on the short sale amount due to the lender.

Call me today so we can get started and avoid this tax. For more information here is an article from Florida Realtors

I can help you with any of your Real Estate needs.

According to an article published by Realtor.com, of the top 10 cities to have price increases, 9 of them are in Florida. The highest increase is in the Miami area, which includes the Florida Keys. The lowest average price is located in the Lakeland, Winterhaven area.

So, NOW is the time to purchase in Florida. It appears we have not only hit the "bottom" but are beginning our upward journey to recovery.

Call me today at 305-522-3648 to talk about your Resort or Second Home.

According to a new survey by Florida Realtors, sellers think their homes are worth more than they are, and buyers think they are worth less than the asking price!!

It is the job and the duty of the Realtor to bring these two opposite opinions to a meeting of the  minds.

Realtors and homeowners surveyed think that prices will start to increase over the next 12 months.

So, now is the time to buy in the Florida Keys. Your second, rental or retirement property will be a great investment in your future. Contact me today to talk over your options.

I spoke with numerous Realtors at the Florida Realtors Convention in Orlando last week. They are getting referrals from their Linked in profiles. I just sent out over 600 requests to add to my sphere. Hope it works for me also.

Do you have your hurricane supply list updated? Even if Irene passes us by you should have your supplies ready. If we are lucky and no storm touches us here in the Keys this year, you can always donate your canned goods to the food pantry to help folks through the holiday season. So, be prepared and be generous. Both will pay off in the future.

Maybe we have finally found the bottom. Florida Realtors says that home sales are up, condo sales are up. Even some areas have price increases up. Floriday is also showing a younger demographic than in the past. First time buyers and international buyers are making a difference in the market. So now is the time to buy before the rebound gets ahead of you while there is still lots of inventory and low interest rates. I was talking to a gentleman yesterday that said when he bought his first home in the Keys there were less than 20 homes on the market!! Wow, talk about a sellers market!!

Now we have a buyers market and low interest rates. Time to get that second home or investment property. You can search on my website or call me for a more personalized approach to finding a home in the Florida Keys.
