SEBASTIAN FLORIDA REAL ESTATE MARKET TURNS

Ed Junker (RE/MAX Riverside) — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 10:28:31 -0500

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.

Still many great investments to choose from at great low prices. Now is the time to make money by buying low.
Interest rates are still relatively low and the first time home buyer tax credit is available till December 1, 2009.

A high percentage of the inventory of homes are "short sales", many of which I expect to become foreclosures.
I expect home prices to stabilize now, then begin to rise next year as we sell off the foreclosures.

Condos and riverfront homes have not yet begun to move as quickly, but the psychology of the market is changing
and I expect them to start to move by next spring and their prices to begin rising about a year from now.

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 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.

SEBASTIAN FLORIDA REAL ESTATE INFORMATION AND SALES

Ed Junker (RE/MAX Riverside) — Thu, 28 May 2009 10:21:01 -0500

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!

•- Happy Sebastian condo sellers

"We are so happy with our new home in Sebastian. It's like we died and went to heaven!"

•- Happy Sebastian home buyers at dinner in their new home

"Ed sold our condo in one weekend and we still netted more than we were asking by ourselves in the weeks prior to hiring him to do the job. He has people waiting in line to purchase...here"

•- Happy Sebastian condo sellers as told to a neighbor they referred to me

"We really appreciated your professionalism. You are the best Realtor we have worked with over the years."

SEBASTIAN FLORIDA REAL ESTATE MARKET REPORT

Ed Junker (RE/MAX Riverside) — Sun, 03 May 2009 11:43:43 -0500

YEAR TO DATE, MAY 1, 2009

SALES HAVE BEEN RELATIVELY BRISK FOR THE PAST TWO OR THREE MONTHS, ESPECIALLY IN LOWER PRICED SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. CONDOS HAVE BEEN SLOWER BUT HAVE STILL EXPERIENCED AN INCREASE IN INTEREST THAT WE HOPE WILL EXPAND INTO A REAL MARKET. MORE EXPENSIVE WATERFRONT PROPERTIES HAVE NOT FAIRED WELL AT ALL WHILE GATED/DEED RESTRICTED COMMUNITIES ARE SLOWLY COMING AROUND.

THESE NUMBERS, THOUGH SHOWING IMPROVEMENT, STILL POINT TO A STRONG BUYER'S MARKET WITH DOWNWARD PREASURE ON PRICES.

A GREAT SELECTION AT LOW LOW PRICES WITH LOW INTEREST RATES AND A TAX CREDIT FOR FIRST TIME BUYERS REPRESENTS THE PERFECT TIME TO INVEST IN REAL ESTATE AGAIN!

I BELIEVE WE HAVE FOUND THE BOTTOM AND THAT THE MARKET WILL SLOWLY BUT SURELY WAKE UP NOW AND CONTINUE TO DRAW DOWN INVENTORIES, WHILE IT WILL LIKELY TAKE A FEW YEARS TO REACH A BALANCED MARKET AGAIN.

SEBASTIAN AND VERO BEACH FLORIDA WATERFRONT AND GOLF COURSE HOMES AND CONDOS ARE SELLING LIKE THE PROVERBIAL HOTCAKES

Ed Junker (RE/MAX Riverside) — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 09:15:15 -0500

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE REST OF THE COUNTRY, BUT SALES OF HOMES AND CONDOS IN SEBASTIAN FLORIDA HAVE PICKED UP DRAMATICALLY IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS.

With everything that is happening to shore up the economy, financial markets and home ownership, I believe that this indicates we have reached the bottom and that, sometime in the near future, we will bring down inventories to a point where there will be upward pressure on prices. This will happen first on the most popular properties, those with the best waterfront views, the best locations, the newest and best construction and features, etc. So, if you need a house or condo and want your choice of the best available properties at these bottom of market prices, jump on the band wagon and find your slice of paradise now!

Interest rates have just hit what may well be their lowest levels in three decades and for years to come.

First time home buyers and buyers who have not owned a home in the past three years can get a tax credit of 10% of their purchase price up to $8,000 toward their down payment and closing costs.

It's been a long cold winter throughout the rest of the country and people who have been putting off getting their own slice of year round Florida paradise are now waking up to the best deals in a long while, with prices down around 2002 levels on a great selection of properties. Even waterfront properties are down over 50%.

As the markets loosen up in South Florida we will experience a return of those buyers who always love our small town waterfront atmosphere and then we will be back to a "normal" market balance where prices will tend to rise at a historical rate of about 5-6% annually.

Investors have been back in the market for some time now but what we see today are first and second home buyers looking for their own slice of paradise!

RENTERS, NOW YOU CAN OWN A NICE HOME AT AGREAT LOW PRICE

Ed Junker (RE/MAX Riverside) — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 09:43:10 -0500

IF YOU HAVE NOT OWNED A HOME IN THE PAST THREE YEARS, YOU CAN RECEIVE UP TO $8,000 TAX CREDIT ON YOUR RETURN BY BUYING YOUR OWN HOME NOW.

HOME PRICES ARE BACK TO LEVELS WE HAVE NOT SEEN SINCE 2002.

INTEREST RATES THIS WEEK HIT RECORD LOWS WE HAVE NOT SEEN IN DECADES.

THERE ARE LOAN PROGRAMS FOR QUALIFIED BUYERS REQUIRING LITTLE OR NO DOWN PAYMENTS.

PRESENTLY, THERE IS A LARGE SELECTION OF GREAT HOMES AT THESE LOW PRICES TO CHOOSE FROM.

YOU MAY BE ABLE TO LIVE IN THE PRIVACY AND SECURITY OF YOUR OWN HOME AND BENEFIT FROM THE INEVITABLE APPRECIATION IN ITS VALUE OVER THE COMING YEARS, FOR LITTLE MORE THAN THE RENT YOU NOW PAY.

CALL ME TODAY AND LETS SEE IF YOU CAN OWN THE HOME OF YOUR DREAMS AT THIS TIME.

FREE MONEY FOR FLORIDA HOMES OR CONDOS

Ed Junker (RE/MAX Riverside) — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 09:40:08 -0500

If you have not owned your own home for the three years preceding your purchace, you can receive a tax credit of 10% of the purchace price up to a maximum of $8,000. The credit can be taken on your 2008 return if you buy a home before you file it, or on your 2009 return when filed.

Income limitations apply but are set at $95,000 filing single and $170,000 filing jointly.

With prices here in our area of vero Beach and Sebastian Florida back to 2002 levels, interest rates lower than we have seen in decades and a huge selection of great homes to choose from, anyone who is renting, looking for their first home and has an income and decent credit should be considering buying their own home at this time.

Home and Condo foreclosures, short sales and other bargain basement real estate properties in Sebastian and Vero Beach Florida

Ed Junker (RE/MAX Riverside) — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 14:59:43 -0600

For the past three or four weeks now our calls, emails and showings have been steadily rising and area wide contracts / closings are exceeding new listings for the first time in a great while (Inventory reduction), but we still have more than enough listings to give buyers the advantage and probably will for the balance of this year at least.

Every day now our small office logs several pages of showings just on our own listings. The largest increase in traffic has been in the lower price ranges while the more expensive waterfront homes and condos continue to lag behind.

Banks continue to show a great level of ineptitude and real estate professionals generally recommend that buyers not focus only on foreclosures and short sales when many of our "regular" listings are now just as great of bargains and a lot less time and aggravation is involved in buying them.

Foreclosures and tighter money supplies have meant an increase in the demand for rentals while investors are now snapping up cheap properties and generating positive cash flows for the first time in a long while.

If we have not yet reached the bottom, price wise, we are so close that anyone with the wherewithal and the interest should be taking advantage of the situation so they don't miss the opportunity to buy right! While prices will probably not rebound any time soon, the wide selection now available allows buyers to pick properties with the appeal to keep them rented and enhance their saleability in the future.

This market also gives the large percent of people whose jobs and credit have not been affected the opportunity to move up. The trick is that they must price their present home to sell realistically in this market, taking a smaller hit there so that they can reap the bigger savings on the better and bigger home that they want to move up to!

I beleive that those with good credit and some equity or savings can now get the home they qualify for at the lowest fixed interest rates we are likely to see in our lifetimes.

Housing is now affordable again. Even in Florida!

Pass in on!

Lunchtime Snook

Ed Junker (RE/MAX Riverside) — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 07:34:28 -0600

Yesterday I did some yard work at some property we own and home for lunch I walked

across the street for a few casts and caught this Snook. I did not get to weigh or measure

it as I wanted to get it back in the water and release it healthy. I guessed it to be 36 inches

long which is 4 inches longer than the 28" - 32" slot allowed. I got it on my lightest tackle

with 8 lb test mono and a 3/8 oz. jig. I live in paradise!

Venting on banks holding escrowed funds long after pay-offs

Ed Junker (RE/MAX Riverside) — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 08:45:27 -0500

I recently sold a house I had built for rent or resale in Sebastian FL.

The house was originally financed by Harbor Federal, a regional bank I had come to count on for effective, friendly service and competitive rates and expenses.

Harbor Federal was purchased by National City Bank and my loan was paid off at closing on August 31, 2007.

I just received the refund for escrowed taxes and insurance on October 9, 2007, over five weeks after the pay-off.

I was very unhappy with this and communicated to my local mortgage loan officer, a good friend, that I would not be able to recommend them to my buying customers any longer because of this.

In surveying other local lenders, I found several followed the same policy, one who took about ten days to review accounts, and just one who nets escrows from balances due for regular title company closings.

I now recommend the latter bank as their service is good and their costs and rates are competitive, and I am spreading the word among my associates.

Let me know your experience and if you agree that the practice of holding these funds boarders on extremely unethical if not criminal.
