ocala florida: Five Box Technique to Prepare Your Home for Sale - 08/19/08 09:23 AM
Everyday we hear and read how challenging it is to market  your home and we are all looking for a better way to make our homes show.  As I show properties to prospective home owners, I am truly amazed how "motivated sellers" allow their homes to be previewed by a possible Buyer.  The home is featured with unnecessary clutter all around.
Clutter and disorganization is not only a huge time waster (as stated in Revolution Health article by Laura Stack) and cause for stress, it is also a deterrent when showing the property in a market that is overrun with an … (1 comments)

ocala florida: The Real Estate Market is Back on the Move - 08/19/08 08:59 AM
Yes, Buyers and Sellers are experiencing activity in the North Central Florida market.  Both retirement communities and traditional neighborhood homes are closing.  Banks are doing financing because they realize that is the only way they can make money.  Yes, you need to have great credit ratings if you are going to the financial institutions for new money.  Also, there are private lenders willing to hold mortgages.
The inventory supply has declined a little due to sales taking place and unmotivated sellers backing out of the marketplace.  There is also an abundance of foreclosure properties with many more to follow for the … (0 comments)

ocala florida: Outside Factors and the Housing Market - 04/04/07 09:41 PM
As more and more subprime loan companies falter or sink altogether the Federal government has finally decided to step in and is beginning to take measures in an effort to avert further fallouts from occurring. National lending standards are being reviewed by Congress, and if passed laws will put an end to current dangerous lending practices such as overly high interest rates or inequitable penalties and fees forcing banks to provide more stringent requirements for loan applicants. Lawmakers realize this may take some time, understanding the importance of ensuring that any final legislation does not create the opposite effect of some being … (1 comments)

ocala florida: Recent Foreclosure Activity in Ocala - 03/27/07 02:59 PM
The Marion County Clerk's office reported 142 foreclosures for February 2007 up from 107 in February 2006, a 33% increase. One group that seem to be profiting from the sudden influx of homes on the market are the real estate investors who are willing to step in and purchase foreclosed properties at a greatly reduced rate. This increase in failed homeownership may be due in part to the number of sub-prime mortgages which were authorized during the market rise at the beginning of the decade. The recently popularized habit of "flipping" properties (buying property at a reduced rate and selling it right away to make a quick … (0 comments)

ocala florida: Reflections on National Marketing Trends and their effect on Ocala - 03/27/07 02:57 PM
There is a reason so many people choose the Marion County area of Florida as their place of retirement. The pace of life is slower here, a southern style of living unusual for Florida, but it is what makes Ocala unique from any other part of the country. Sometimes it is easy to forget about the rest of the world surrounded as you are by so many natural wonders. The historic Silver Springs nature park, Ocala National Forest (Florida's 2nd largest after the Everglades) and Florida National Scenic Trail, not to mention a lush array of farms and horse pastures. It is not surprising that this area also attracts … (0 comments)
