know the market: How do you figure the expired rate in your farm area?
- 03/17/12 10:33 AM
How do you figure the expired rate in your area?
I've been calculating statistics in the market area for about eight years now. I've learned many agents figure the expired rate in many different ways.
I have added the property sold and the expired property together for a period of time the divided the expired from the total, leaving a percentage that I believe tells you the odds of expired as opposed to sold.
Saint Lucie county area average expired rate is now 24%.
That means 1/4 of the sellers will not be able to go ahead with plans to sell.
Get aggressive … (2 comments)

know the market: magnetic properties?
- 11/06/09 12:15 AM
It falls to the floor.
Why? Has it lost its magnetic properties? No.
It was simply a weak magnet and therefore could not attract enough.
We all hold this same "magnetic ability" to attract all of our life's experiences. So just use it more then others.
By empowering the mind and body you can enhance your magnetic ability - thus attracting most anything you think of.
While most people are unaware of their own power of attraction, are like the fridge magnet that can't attract the simplest things in life.
How strong is your magnet?
Do you hope to get a new buyer … (3 comments)

- 04/26/08 08:35 PM
WASHINGTON - April 25, 2008 - When the National Association of Realtors®' Multiple Listing Issues & Policies Committee meets in May, members will discuss a standard definition of "short sale." The discussion stems from disagreements within the industry with regard to when properties can be labeled as short sales, and how to disclose them in the Multiple Listing Service. Committee Chair Colleen Badagliaccosays that most MLSs allow Realtors to disclose real estate-owned properties, and whether sales are "subject to lender approval" or "subject to court confirmation." However, banks often discourage disclosure of potential short sales because more potential buyers submit low-ball … (8 comments)

know the market: Tradition parents say promise of neighborhood school is being broken
- 04/18/08 01:28 AM
Before you read this article, I want to remind you the reason to use a buyers broker, it is to have someone represent "you" in a transaction. It is often the case that the seller will cover most or all of the buyer brokers fees. In The Hunt's case even if they paid the agent they might have been informed property. A no lose situation for the educated consumer. I work, live and play right here in Tradition. Preventing situations like this is the reason I got into the business.

- 02/25/08 12:41 PM
When you find the right home, I can represent you and negotiate on your behalf. My goal is to help you buy the right home for you at a very fair price.
When you make an offer, the seller can:* Accept it* Reject it outright if the offer does not meet the specifications in the listing* Counter it with different price and terms
If there is strong demand for properties, a seller may not even make a counter offer, but accept one of several offers û usually the one with the highest price or most qualified buyer.
Here are some tips … (2 comments)

know the market: Effective Pricing Leads to Success
- 02/24/08 10:33 AM
According to a recent report, about 75% of homebuyers surf the Web to begin their home search. That means home buyers are well aware of what properties are available on the market and the prices they are selling for. Therefore, now more than ever, pricing is the key to selling your home.
Some sellers think that a higher price will give them some negotiating room. But in fact many buyers don't even look at a property that is overpriced, much less make an offer on it.
This can lead to the property's becoming "shop-worn." Buyers often inquire about the length of … (3 comments)

Many Florida builders and developers understand the demand that Florida will bring as the population of baby boomer's retire. Florida was hit very hard with the real estate market adjusting along with the tax issues and the insurance rates from the hurricanes. This caused an inventory that could last for years.
Well maybe if you vote on January 29th for AMENDMENT ONE things could change. Results from a special session of the Legislature is expected to save taxpayers about $12 billion in the first four … (1 comments)

Brian Sharkey can be reached at All Florida Realty Services Inc. at 772-335-1995 ext. 192 or via email Brian@BrianSharkeyRealEstate.com
Portability will allow Florida homestead owners to transfer all or some of their accumulated SAVE OR HOME (SOH) benefit to a new Florida home within two years.
The accumulated SOH benefit is difference between the just or market value and the assessed value of the homestead.
The "plan" is to have the same percentage of assessed value to just value as the previus homestead home before.
Without portability, when a homestead owner sold and purchase a new home the new homestead would be assessed at the market at … (0 comments)
