Do Foreclosures Set Market Values?

NO! Foreclosures do not set the market value for surrounding homes. The value of a home is determined by the sale of silimar homes in the past six months; not a foreclosure! Click on the title of this blogg to read the rest. NW FL Home Values

Gulf Breeze, Pensacola, Navarre. Florida is Affordable!

My day is always started with the daily newspaper, in print and online. I enjoy the editorials, some make me think, some make me mad, and some just give me a good laugh. One of today’s editorials prompts this blog. Another Realtor earned some free advertising (I plan to write my on letter to the editor) with comments about a new development scheduled for Pensacola, stating we already have too many homes on the market. I am sure the article about a new development in Pensacola for being designed especially for our hardworking service providers …

Gulf Breeze, Pensacola, Navarre. Is now a good time to sell?

Considering placing your home on the market to sell in Gulf Breeze, Pensacola, Navarre? Depends on why you want to sell and what you have to sell, where it’s located, what kind of condition it’s in; most especially how well it’s priced for today’s market. Recent market trends do not paint a rosy picture for home sales in NW Florida. Still, some homes are selling to savvy buyers looking buy a well-priced home with a low-interest-rate mortgage. In my experience, spring is the season when more home sales take place. The same is true this year, with …

A Beautiful Easter Weekend in Gulf Breeze, FL

It was a beautiful Easter weekend in Gulf Breeze, FL with all kinds of activities for everyone. Sunrise service on the Gulf was amazing.

I do apologize to all the artists who allowed me to take photos and will be placing links to your online galleries through my website sometime this week. Every year, the art …

Good things are happening in Poly Isles

If you haven’t noticed, the stormwater vaults are being installed. The weir will be coming out. The channel will be dredged and boating will be improved. Hope that helps the housing market around here.

Looks like the County is finally doing something about stormwater runoff east of College Parkway too.

Oh by the way, we also just renewed our homeowners insurance and guess what? We were able to find a company that actually offered LOWER premiums than last year.

Our property taxes are going down and the Midway Fire District was told in no uncertain terms that we don’t want a …

What’s the deal on Foreclosures?

We have all been reading and hearing about foreclosures popping up everywhere. If you see one you are interested it, there are certain things you need to know. The first thing I would like to clear up is the common misconception many shoppers have that suggests you can pick up a foreclosure for .40 to .50 cents on the dollar.

In a market like we are seeing, you might think banks would be happy to see any offer, even if it is low. However, the federal government strictly regulates how much the banks can lose so don’t …

Gulf Breeze, Florida Market Trends

My real estate phone is ringing more and more with questions from buyers and sellers wanting to know if we have bottomed out with pricing or if it is time to buy. Have we hit the bottom? The investment side of me is screaming, “I do not want to take the chance that it has not because houses are priced right where they would have been without the spike in values in 2005 & 2006.” Fact, our local economy sets the pace and everyone must accept the current market value of our homes. Buying? I would …
