Last night as I lay sleeping; I died or so it seemed,
Then I went to Heaven; But only in my dream,
Up there St Peter met me; Standing at the Pearly Gates,
He said, "I must check your record; please stand here and wait."
He turned and said "Your record; Is covered with terrible flaws,
On Earth I see you rallied; for every losing cause,
I see that you drank alcohol; And smoked and used drugs too,
Fact is, you've done everything; A good person should never do,
We can't have people like you up here; Your life was full of sin,
Then he read the last of my record; Took my hand and said "Come In",
He led me up to the big boss and said; "take her in and treat her well",
She used to be in The Real Estate Industry; She's done her time in Hell!!
Port St Lucie FL November Sales Year To Year Comparison
Sales from 2010 to 2010 decreased 16% while the Avg price decreased 14%. Perhaps the lower prices can account for the lower Days on Market. On the low end it is interesting to see how the List to Sales price (and keep in mind these are the true handyman specials) remained around the 50% mark. This must mean the banks are still trying to value the homes higher or are not paying attention to property condition. With more foreclosures to come into the Port St Lucie Real Estate Market next year, I fear we may continue to see a devaluation of our property. Let’s hope not though. At least lets home the number of homes increases to speed up our housing market recovery J.
The 50 Somethings…
Single Family Homes Sold in Port St Lucie from 49K-60K
I wanted to do a Market Report on the 50K price range most expectantly to see a serious decrease in solds from this year over last. Surprise… again the numbers don’t lie.. so even I have to drink the sour milk… (yuck)
2010 Homes Sold from 49K-60K Single Family in Port St Lucie 3/2 min
2011 Homes Sold from 49K-60K Single Family in Port St Lucie 3/2 min.
While there was a decrease…12% to be exact… I was expecting more like 35%. One the sunny side though… there was a DECREASE! Guess that is a step towards recovery or in the right direction anyway.
Some of you may be looking these over and wondering about the larger homes that went very cheap. Those can be attributed to either Chinese Drywall or our old nick name “Pot St Lucie”. So with more of those out of the way ..we can at least pave a path to Sunnier Florida Days.
p.s. Last time I was incorrect in my projected outcome was in college when I studied a comparison of articles relating to Welfare Reform in the Wall Street Journal and USA Today (this was around 1994) completely expecting Wall Street to be Conservative and USA Today completely Liberal…. Wall Street was more republican but USA Today was completely unbiased. In case you ever wondered….
Determining Market Value is a job for Realtors
The value of a home is determined by it's "Market Value". Market Value is defined as the price a willing seller will accept and a willing buyer will pay for a property that has been exposed to the market for a reasonable length of time.
To determine Market Value you look at similar homes in the same area that have sold recently (preferably within the last 6 months). These are called "comparable sales." These are homes that compare closely to the one you want to purchase. They should be similar in square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, garage space, lot size, and type of construction.
Finding comparable sales is easier if the home is part of a tract of homes where you are most likely to find the same models to compare against one another. If it is not in a tract if is often more difficult to find sales to compare to.
 Real estate agents have access to the records of recent sales as well as descriptions of the homes that have sold recently. The agent will know how to properly interpret this data and adjust it to compensate for varying condition of the homes and any additions or variances on each property.
A Buyers Agent will provide you with all the data you need, interpret that data for you, and assist you in determining what to offer for a home.
In Port St Lucie, FL we use area numbers to group homes in the same geographical area. All comparable used to determine market value should be w/in 1-1.5 miles of the subject property. Unique homes can use more distant comparables with an explanation.
If you want to make sure you aren’t overpaying, ask your Realtor for the Comparables.
These Myths are very much so myths about the homebuying process. There really is value in not going directly to the sellers representative and to be better represented by an independent agent. Also in any market in the US all Realtors have access to the same database of homes available for sale and in working with one Realtor you can build a relationship with that person and trust is key.

Debunking Myths about Real Estate Agents
Real estate laws differ from state to state as well as from agency to agency. It works best if you do some research first before entering into any real estate transaction. Know what's true and what is an untrue rumor or perhaps a misunderstanding of the laws, rules, or Code of Ethics as we debunk some of the most common myths people have about real estate agents.
Answer - Maybe, maybe not. If the REALTORS® you’re talking to are  members of the Multiple Listing Services, they all have access to the same properties. If you are in the market and searching for homes, it's best to choose your most desired area and find an agent you like, that’s reputable, professional, and stay with that agent. Do some home work and check their website, the Better Business Bureau, and other resources when searching for that agent of choice.
Answer – No, however the listing experience can help when it time comes for negotiation: Most agents nowadays turn to team systems, an example is the Luxury Valley Homes Team with Keller Williams Arizona Realty. The team partners equally and properly manage time with the buyers and the sellers of homes. Consider this: If an agent has too many listings on their hands, how much time do they have for buyers who might want to see properties other than theirs? The team systems allows the partners to calendar and dedicate time to meet their client’s needs.
Answer – No: Any good agent wants what is best for his/her own client, both the seller and the buyer. Great REALTORS® make sure that the buyer gets full disclosure on the home. Remember that by agreement the REALTOR® has a fiduciary responsibility to their client. Any agent working in the realm of excellence will make sure they have their client’s interest first.
Answer - No: All REALTORS® can legally work as a dual agent in the state of Arizona. When working as a dual agent the REALTOR® can at best, work as a facilitator with the buyer and seller. They effectively cannot represent one or the other without favoring the outcome of the transaction. This is why some teams, like the Luxury Valley Homes Team elect not to have one agent represent both the buyer and seller. The best agents will always want to fully represent their client to maximize their transaction.
