homes for sale: Port St Lucie, FL November Sales Year to Year Comparison - 11/30/11 07:11 PM
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 … (1 comments)

homes for sale: Homebuyers..Ask your Realtor for the Comps to determine Market Value - 11/19/11 03:49 PM
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 … (1 comments)

homes for sale: Castle or Cave - Shrine or Shack - Depends - Buyer or Seller!! - 11/08/11 06:24 PM
It is a Castle or a Cave - A Shrine or Shack? This depends… It is the Seller or the Buyer?
Always interesting but seldom comical really. I am working with a buyer who is also a seller. Now selling a home he bought from me (with another one he owned listed with me) but now selling through another brokerage. He is also back with me to buy again. That in itself is another story. But this story fits many of our buyer/seller clients.
The Answer is: Seller = Shrine // Buyer = Shack (of course)
Everyone wants … (1 comments)

homes for sale: I Want My Moving Money $$ Let's Short Sale... But what about the Hardship Letter? - 11/05/11 04:14 PM
I WANT MY MOVING MONEY SO LET’S SHORT SALE… BUT HOW DO I WRITE A HARDSHIP LETTER?
A Short Sale Package included a number of items required by the bank but one in particular always seems to stump home sellers. How do I write a hardship letter?
What should a Hardship Letter include? Below is a sample hardship letter. A few things to remember…
· Don’t come off blaming the bank or anyone else. Take responsibility for the inability to now pay. – The letter should be humbling and in a sense asking for forgiveness and help (regardless of … (1 comments)

homes for sale: Buying a HUD Owned Home. Benefits and the Process. - 11/01/11 06:22 PM
Buying a HUD Home. The Benefits and the Process.
First of all let’s un-myth the myth about a HUD home. Buying a HUD home does not mean you are poor or the home is in poor condition. It means you are buying a home owned by HUD. HUD owned homes are most often the result of an FHA Insured loan being foreclosed relinquishing the home to HUD.
One of the benefits of buying a HUD home is the Florida Incentive of a special FHA Financed loan program of only $100.00 down payment. Remember, this is an FHA program … (0 comments)

homes for sale: Why use an Exclusive Buyer's Agent? Buying a Port St Lucie Fl Home with Representation. - 11/01/11 03:06 PM
Why use an Exclusive Buyer’s Agent?

Lower Assessed Values Creates a more Beneficial Tax Shelter. Buy Now and Save More!
Here in Port St Lucie Florida assessed values have once again decreased. As assessed value is used to determine the amount of taxes you will pay every year, the lower the assessed value the better. Our Millage Rate here in the City of Port St Lucie is right about 25.338. For a 100,000 assessed value taxes would run $2,533.80 without homesteaded rights. With our NEW FL homestead additional exemption of 25,000 for a total homestead exemption of 50,000 taxes would be about $1266.90. (school millage … (0 comments)
