sebring real estate: Good News: Sebring real estate - absorption rate is shrinking! - 04/13/10 06:52 AM
Good News: The "Absorption Rate" is shrinking!
Wait! What is "Absorption Rate", why is it shrinking and why is that good news?
For example, some time in 2008, the absorption rate for Sebring, Florida was way over 24 months. This meant that at the time it would take over 24 months for all the homes listed for sale to be sold if no new listings entered the market. Basically, the Absorption shows us how fast homes are selling in our Highlands County Market. It helps us understand the market as a whole and identify trends.

sebring real estate: Don't like the co-broke - don't show the listing? - 12/10/09 04:09 AM
We recently received a showing request for one of our listings and my husband told the showing agent about another listing we have that appeared to meet all of the buyer criteria. The showing agent commented that she couldn't understand why the second listing didn't pop up on her list of properties she was going to show to her buyer. It then turned out that the second listing didn't match the showing agent's own criteria: the co-broke being offered. She emailed my husband stating this as well. She ended the email saying "....and you would do the same". Uh, well, but we … (3 comments)

sebring real estate: Short Sales in Sebring FL - why to use local professionals - 10/26/09 05:41 AM
Last week we were contacted by an absentee owner looking for a realtor in our area with a buyer for their bank approved short sale. The property is a beautiful townhouse located in one of Sebring's most prestigeous communities, The Sebring Country Club.
Upon speaking with the owners, residing in the Ft. Lauderdale area, we learned that they had hired a Ft. Lauderdale agent to list, market and sell the property. Also involved was a Ft. Lauderdale paralegal to negotiate the sale with the lender. The Ft. Lauderdale agent had found a buyer for the town house. There is no … (0 comments)

sebring real estate: First Time Home buyer in Highlands County: Is a Short Sale right for me? - 08/28/09 06:37 AM
First Time Home buyer in Highlands County: Is a Short Sale right for me?A short sale is not much different from a regular sale, the only difference being that it will take longer to close because the seller's lender has to approve the sale. The lender's approval is a contingency in the contract that the seller needs to remove, by getting approval, in order for the transaction to close.
How long does it take to get approval?We don't know. There is no rule and there are no guidelines. We have had approval within 3 weeks and we have transactions that are still … (0 comments)

sebring real estate: Buying a Short Sale? You need proof of funds! - 08/22/09 09:53 AM
Buying a Short Sale? You need proof of funds! With so many short sales around it's hard these days to NOT find your dreamhome. For example, you can find a fairly new 3 bedroom home in a nice neighborhood in Sebring for around $100,000. Amenities include tennis courts, community pool, 2 Championship Golf Courses, biking/hiking trails, community-fire department, community-security force, clubhouse. As you probably already know, the seller's lender must approve the sale because the sale price is less than the seller's mortgage pay off - a short sale in a nutshell. Along with your offer, you are asked to submit … (1 comments)
