My Internet Advertising Has Been Validated! - 12/17/08 08:40 PM
For the last 3 years I have been telling my agents, my customers, and anyone else that would listen that print advertising for real estate is on it's way out. The listings were old, the ads didn't contain the newer listings, and you weren't able to get a feel for the home like you can with virtual tours and online video.
Apparently, I was right. A new study conducted by Harris Interactive and sponsored by Intel Corp. finds that 65 percent of adults feel they cannot live without Internet access. Additionally, 71 percent consider it important or very important to have Internet-enabled … (94 comments)

Is The West Coast Of Florida Ready For A Housing Rebound? - 12/08/08 03:02 PM
The most recent quarterly survey of Florida real estate trends completed at the end of September finds that the investment outlook for various types of real property in Florida remained steady. The national economic crisis has failed to rattle Florida real estate experts despite the availability of financing.
Experts that responded to the survey overwhelmingly stated that Florida is the place to be and the place to invest. "Although Florida's housing crisis was worse than some other states, over the long term Florida will benefit from the migration of new residents, particularly as baby boomers age," stated Wayne Archer, executive director … (1 comments)

November Market Statistics For Greater Tampa Bay & Sarasota, FL - 12/01/08 03:23 PM
The Thanksgiving holiday is over and the Tampa Bay & Sarasota real estate markets are back into full swing. After a few slow weeks, I've written 2 contracts and had calls from several new buyers. By almost all accounts, the market seems to be stabilizing. Existing home sales in the Greater Tampa Bay area were up 10% for the 3rd quarter compared to 2007 numbers. Unfortunately, Sarasota sales slid 16% in the 3rd quarter compared to last year. That being said, I think we will see gains in both areas for the 4th quarter.
