florida: Have housing prices hit bottom in Manatee County?
- 01/08/08 01:48 AM
An article in today's Herald Tribune seems to point towards that. It appears our market has stabalized and is doing fairly well compared to many others in Florida, according to the article. "Florida's best known economist says the Sarasota-Manatee residential property market bottomed out in September-October and has now stabilized in both price and volume.""Hank Fishkind predicts flat prices for both counties through 2010, as the region chews through excess inventories of new houses and condominiums." "I'm not seeing any major price declines, and I think volume has stabilized, Fishkind said." These next few months are typically some of the busiest for our area since the snowbirds … (0 comments)

florida: Florida lizards will climb on anything...and anyone!
- 12/03/07 03:48 AM
Lizards are everywhere here. Kinda like ants, everywhere you look, you are bound to see them. They crawl up everything, including people! I was shopping the other day and was at the checkout lane where there was a group of people in front of the lane I was in, talking to one another. They appeared to be waiting for the rest of their group to finish shopping before they left. Anyhow, they were all just standing around talking to one another when one when of them started kicking his leg everywhere and everyone stopped to see what the heck he was doing. He … (7 comments)
florida: Condo sales are UP 10% from this time last year in Bradenton-Sarasota
- 11/29/07 02:24 AM
I was reading the newspaper online this morning, and was happy to see that condo sales have increased 10% from this time last year in the Bradenton-Sarasota market. It is mentioned in the above article about 3/4 of the way through the article. Condominium results in Sarasota-Bradenton for both the third quarter and for October are signs of improvement.Last month, condo sales were up 10 percent, from 193 to 212. The median price was down slightly, from $226,000 to $224,000."That's very good news for us, suggestive of a bottoming out in that segment of our market."

florida: What Are Your Thoughts On What is Going To Happen?
- 08/18/07 02:13 AM
Anyone care to share with us what your thoughts are on what is going to happen short term or long term due to many of the sub-prime lenders closing their doors and some of the large prime lenders now screaming of financial difficulties and some of them may be going under?

I mean really, there for a long while it seemed like if you had a pay-stub and an address to a house you wanted to buy, they could find you a loan. It seemed like all the ads you saw, read something … (7 comments)

florida: Florida Property Insurance: Are We Ever Going To See Any Relief?
- 08/04/07 12:23 AM
Another bill was introduced to Congress on Friday to reduce the costs of insurance premiums for homeowners in disaster-prone areas . But really, how far will this bill go? It's failed before, so are they really going to pass it this time around? "The bill would create a voluntary, market-driven national catastrophic fund designed to lower the cost of insuring homes in areas where the threat of hurricanes, floods and earthquakes have sent premiums skyrocketing. It also would make federal loans available to assist in rebuilding states hit by natural disasters." More and more people can't afford the high insurance premiums in Florida. Some people's premiums … (4 comments)

florida: Where's the beef???
- 06/25/07 02:39 AM
Ok, I know most of you remember that commercial with the little old lady in a fast food restaurant and when she gets the burger, it's a great big bun with hardly any meat on it and she yells out "Where's the beef?" She was expecting a big burger with a big meat patty and extras like lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, cheese, mustard & ketchup and instead she was disappointed to have a big fluffy bun and barely any meat. Nothing else! So what's this have to do with real estate? How many of you have contacted an agent to inquire about listings and then to only … (6 comments)
