Till now I have been adding rentals as fast as I have been renting them but I expect that to change

in the coming weeks as the winter season approaches.

I still have one three bedroom pool home in the lovely gated community of Collier Club near the sebastian Golf Course and the rivers available at $2,650 per month.

I also have five river front condos in River Run and Reflections on the River from $1,650 to $2,650 per month.

Call today to book your slice of paradise for the coming season in beautiful Sebastian Florida!

This solid, cozy three bed two bath home is near the mouth of the Sebastian River where it meets the Indian River Lagoon across from the Sebastian Inlet to the Atlantic Ocean.  It has newer A.C., patio and deck, easy accordian storm shutters and is CBK construction with foam roof, ...

Enjoy exploring and fishing on the wild clear water of the upper Sebastian River, the Intercoastal Indian River Lagoon and the Atlantic Ocean all at your door step. Home is on the North side of the Sebastian River in Brevard County facing Indian River County (Sebastian) to the South, where the Space Coast meets the Treasure Coast. Located 30 miles south of Melbourne Florida and 15 miles north of Vero Beach Florida.

This is an amazing value for a special slice of paradise waiting just for you! $399,000 and its yours!

Statistics would seem to indicate that we have seen the bottom of this market and our day to day business is supporting this indication.  Non-short sale inventories of homes here are down in the six months supply range again and moving nicely.  Short sale homes still represent a significant portion of inventory and based on trends, many will end up in forclosure before we see the end of them, but consumer enthusiasm for investing in our market is on the rise and the first time home buyer credit which is presently good till December 1st, 2009 has helped many to realize the joy of home ownership.

I also see many people forced to rent till they repair their credit and save up a down payment in the future. This would seem to indicate a good climate for investors able to take advantage of low prices and interest rates, invest some cash and build a portfolio of properties for future equity growth and cash flow.

Take a look at the great listings in our area. You can see them all at sebastian fl.info.

Beautiful or Brutal?

Where will you and your friends spend this winter?

I have some great seasonal listings in the sebastian Florida

area available for from $1,650 to $2,650 per month with

three month minimums.

These are in waterfront communities with pools and clubhouses,

docks, marinas, near golf courses and in the beautiful small town

of Sebastian between Vero Beach and Melbourne on Florida's east

coast where the Treasure Coast meets the Space Coast and the

Sebastian River, Indian River and Atlantic Ocean merge in a

spectacular area of nature's bounty.

Come join us this winter!

I have benefited from many posts here and would like to share...

From my daily affirmations:

I enjoy affirming my intentions, expressing my gratitude and meditating daily to open a path to higher consciousness.

I am grateful for the love and kindness of friends and family who enrich my life and for the artistic expressions, inventions and life's work of countless others who make my life so easy, safe and enjoyable every day.

I am grateful for a profession which gives me a good income providing valuable services to my neighbors in an easy and enjoyable manner and for the abundance of pleasant customers who are drawn to me and my listings every month.  I easily discover my customer's concerns and wishes and inspire them with confidence in my ability to help them. 

From my daily prayer:

God please help me to be open to life and to others with greater presence, love and acceptance.  Keep me in touch with each present moment and lead me to the highest potential for my life here on earth.  Help me to see, appreciate and accept opportunities that abound in this universe for me to share my gifts with the world and give me the wisdom, energy and enthusiasm to realize those opportunities fully.  Help me to live every day in a way that expresses my love and acceptance and to remain in touch with the web of energy that connects me to all of your creation.  Use me to make a positive difference in the lives of all who I come into contact with and thereby to make a positive difference in this world forever. 

 Amen

GREAT NEWS HERE!

Our local supply of homes for sale has dropped 18% in the past few months to around 9 months supply.  Condos are now at around 12 months supply.  This is still high and represents a Buyer's market with downward preassure on prices, but it is an encouraging move in the cycle and  beleive that it indicates that we may be seeing the bottom right now.  Of course the media will not pick this up until several months after the fact so Buyers still have some time to buy great values with a great selection.

I based the above statistics on the current inventory of unsold listings in our immediate area and the number of sales in the past three months.  We usually see a lull in the late summer and early fall coinciding with the most active part of our hurricane season, but activity has been brisk for months now and there are a lot of good reasons for the buying public to continue showing up.  Low prices, low interest rates, a first time buyer's tax credit and a great selection in a beautiful area all help.

I have been so busy recently that I have not been out fishing in a while and snook season will be closed May 31st for the summer. 

Best regards from Sebastian, Florida!
