Sun City Aliante market report - 2nd quarter, 2007 - 09:15 PM
Home sales activity in Sun City Aliante, a community in North Las Vegas, NV slumped in the second quarter of 2007. Fourteen homes closed in the 2nd quarter, just half of the 28 units that sold in the first quarter.
Existing resale inventory increased from 42 homes (plus 12 with accepted offers) to 50 homes (plus 4 with accepted offers). Sellers who purchased during the market highs of 2004 and 2005 are finding it difficult to get those same levels today. Sun City Aliante is an age-restricted community; homes must have one occupant who is at least 55, and no residents under age 19 may permanetly live there.
Here are the details of the second quarter sales:

Morningside market report - 2nd quarter, 2007 - 09:35 PM
Home sales in Morningside, a neighborhood in the Green Valley area of Henderson, NV have remained steady in the second quarter of 2007. Five homes closed in the 2nd quarter, compared to six in the first quarter.
Existing resale inventory climbed from 10 to 15 homes (plus 1 with an accepted offer), tipping the market in favor of buyers. What remains encouraging for sellers is that four of the five 2nd quarter sales occured in 90 days or less. Homes in Morningside are located close to the amenities of Green Valley Ranch and have quick access to the I-215 freeway.
Here are the details of the second quarter sales:

When is really late on your mortgage and bad for your credit? - 01:52 AM
 Borrowers tend to think that a late mortgage payment is reported on the credit after the 15th day of each month. Wrong !!!   Lenders report on your credit a late mortgage payment after 30 days. So for instance whether you have to pay the 1st of every month and the lender receive the payment on the 27th of the same month that it is due, you are fine!!, but lenders generally will charge you an additional 5% late fee after the 15th day grace period + the interest accumulated that it is not reflected at that time or charged to you … (39 comments)

Networking "Meetups": Time Well Spent? - 06:08 AM
On Tuesday I went to a Real Estate Networking Event, here on Long Island, sponsored by Property Shark (http://www.propertyshark.com/mason/ny_nassau/ ).  While I have been to networking groups and meetups on various occasions, I had not experienced anything on such a "grand scale" before.
When I arrived, there were about 40 ‘industry' people scattered around the room and chatting in small groups.  It was easy to strike up a conversation.  I went to the bar and ordered a glass of wine and met a lovely realtor.  I introduced myself and we began chatting about the  market and various challenges that realtors are facing.  … (14 comments)

When You Are Asked to Give a Seminar.... - 07:15 AM
Last Monday I gave my first seminar on Home Staging. It took place at the Woodmere School here on Long island. I was invited to do so by a realtor whose seminar I was a part of back in the early Spring. 
Since I had never done anything like that before with respect to Staging, I was uncertain as to what the presentation should consist of....what I should talk about, how much information I should share....
The seminar was advertised as an evening where homeowners could learn about preparing their homes for the Real Estate market, and I knew that I was going … (15 comments)

Is It possible to Give Away the Store? - 10:18 AM
Is it possible to ‘give away the store'?
I was contacted by a young woman whose mother had recently died after a lengthy illness and who was faced with the undaunted task of clearing out the house and preparing it for sale.  She explained that she lived out of state but was staying at the house in order to get all of the work done.  She virtually had no budget with which to work.  I told her that I would come over and look at the house and see what we could come up with.  There would be no charge for me … (46 comments)

Bimini, Bahamas - another vacation for Miamians - 04:50 PM
Everyone knows Miami is a great vacation spot.  You have beaches, you have entertainment, you have great hotels and shopping, and you can't forget dining!  But the question here is, Where do Miamians go on vacation?  The first article to this series, Vacations for Miamians....and others, talks about 3-day cruises taking off from our own Port of Miami. 
Now, I want to tell you about our boating vacation to The Islands of Bimini, Bahamas which are located just under 50 miles East of Miami.  This was our second time going and we crossed the Florida Straits with our dear friends The Rubios.  … (33 comments)

My Real Estate Website - 05:39 PM
My website lacks a lot of things, but, one thing I've done right is doing it in pure HTML code. There are many software programs out there to create a webpage in an instant. Not me, I started with "Notepad", and the Browser. I saved the HTML code on my "notepad" and saved it as index.html. Then I opened it in the Internet Explorer brower to see what it looked like. I then added more HTML code to "Notepad", and open it in the browser again. Voila, the page looked different. That is the beautiful thing about the pure HTML languge … (1 comments)

 update:..PRODUCER LOOKS FOR MORE STORIES....There may be a House Hunters "Green Week" Special (not sure)...but if so... let us know if you have sold a LEED certified home, and we will be happy to pass the word along to the Producer.

Riskiest U.S. Housing Markets - 11:29 AM
According to the article: Riskiest U.S. Housing Markets on Forbes.com, the ranking of the country's riskiest markets measures the 40 largest metro areas are most vulnerable to future shocks.  The assessement has been made based on the areas which are the most strained lending conditions and which markets are the most overvalued and likely to face downward pressures in pricing.  Furthermore, the best way to assess risk is to assess the local mortgage market, those numbers are most important when predicting the future of that area.  Read the entire article Riskiest U.S. Housing Markets on Forbes.com to learn which metropolitian areas … (0 comments)

Scambled Yokels & Whole Wheat Toast - 08:04 AM
The next best thing to eating at home or eating at your Mom's house is at a local place.  You know one of those joints that all the local yokels hang out at.  It's a meeting place of sorts for all sorts of people.
Today, I stopped in for lunch with "goofy Brad - the landscaper" and Algorithm.  I got my regular "salad sandwich" (hold the onions & side of onion rings.  It's my own private Idaho) and listened to the toils and troubles of Brad, the would-be farmer.  He just bought some acreage he's working on.  He's not really had to … (14 comments)

Alligator Alley - An Hour From Booth To Booth - 09:50 AM
It's only an hour to cross the Alley.   The do-able day trip to see something new, do something new or just go someplace new to people watch.  I crossed the swamp yesterday, just for kicks & giggles, and to meet a friend. 
What I like about the east coast of Florida is the highways.  You see almost anything and everything.  First, a storm front was moving in which was totally cool.  I just love when you see the rain coming.  Then I caught this lawn mower piggy back on a car.
Before anyone gets worried, I was a passenger when I was taking the … (23 comments)
