local expert: A BUYERS MARKET MEANS YOU HAVE COMPETITION PEOPLE- SURE FIRE TIPS TO FAIL AT GETTING THE ONE YOU REALLY WANT.
- 02/04/08 06:21 AM
The term "Buyers Market" does not mean the sellers are going roll over completely. In fact, in certain price ranges, you are likely to lose out on the house you want by making a low ball offer. It may have played in 2007 but the tide is turning. Buyers are competing strongly for the supply of reduced price homes in Osceola County in the range under $160,000.
Public Misconceptions
Consumer confusion and misconceptions of industry terms such as "Buyer's Market" has lead some potential home buyers into a false sense of certainty, their way below market offer might get them a home. What … (14 comments)

Think buying Real Estate is a tough Nut to Crack? Maybe not. Because so many people bit off more than they could chew, the emerging market is very palitable. What is coming back to the market at least in Osceola County are beautifully done new homes, and recent renovations of starter or retirement homes. Priced under $200,000 are showing positive response. Thanks to recent Property Tax reassessments, and reduction from the Fed. Savvy buyers who have stored a few bucks for the winter are seeing some great deals.

local expert: 484 Reasons You CAN afford a Winter Home in Florida
- 02/01/08 02:15 AM
I get asked all the time "Are Homes Really Affordable" in Osceola County, Florida. The resounding answer is YES!

local expert: Tourism- Localism- Professionalism Where To Go To Sightsee?
- 06/29/07 11:20 AM
Time off. That rare commody many Real Estate Professionals forget is an essential key to productivity. Guilty as charged. Most days the computer goes on at 5am. Check MLS, read updates from the local board, and trying to stay current with what is going on locally, as well as professionally. My customers know they can reach me 7 days a week most of the time. I have worked weekend, holidays, late into the evening, early in the morning. Sometimes it pays off. And sometimes, you just have to get away from it.
There needs to be a time when we are the … (2 comments)

- 01/31/07 10:37 PM
I would like to thank Lloyd Nichols who inspired me to write this post.
"What's she doing?" "I dunno" "How long has she been there?" "A long time" "Well will you look at that!" The buyers are smiling. "What did she say?" "I dunno" She is coming over..."Mr. and Mrs. Seller....you have an offer coming".
In the Movie Robert Redford sat in the field all night. He never approached the unbroken horse. Remember? Eventually the horse came to him on his own terms. They formed a bond. It took the horse time to determine IF Redford could be trusted. Many had tried … (9 comments)
