The Florida Real Estate Market statistics and summaries for the Panama City area for June, 2009 are now available for your convenience and download. The Panama City Florida real estate market continues to maintain itself with slight increases and decreases in expected areas:

  • An increase in expired listings shows agents continue to take overpriced listings that will not sell in today's market. Sellers must be educated when pricing their homes for sale. It remains a buyers market and homes must be priced accordingly.
  • Condo sales decreased slightly in part due to short sales and foreclosures as well as low appraisal values. The time-to-close factor plays a significant role in actual sale closings. In addition, smartly market priced condos continue to sell well.

An associate of mine has recently been focusing diligently on helping home owners in the Panama City area with short sales and asked for some assistance with their new website.

Not being one to turn down a request for help, I am pleased to announce a new website dedicated to homeowners in need of assistance during these difficult economic times.

The Panama City short sales site and team has information and agents available to help those in need during their time of hardship. 

They understand not only the business of short sales, but also the emotional stress many feel when making this difficult decision.

If you are a home owner in need, contact them today.  They are here to help.

 

Has any one else noticed an increase in commercial inquiries and listings in the past several weeks?

Even with our economic situation, and banks making it more difficult to obtain commercial development funds and business loans I'm seeing a significant increase in commercial listing and purchase inquiries.

It may just be that those holding these properties are attempting to unload some poor performing properties, but I am definately seeing an increase both in inquiries to purchase as well as listings.

Anyone else seeing this trend?

 

I have several open houses scheduled for this weekend and right now it's raining.

I was wondering how others perceive open houses held on rainy days.

  • Do you take special precautions for the home, such as putting down plastic in traffic areas etc?
  • Do you find a significant decrease in visitors (I would expect there to be a few less then sunny days)?
  • Does the decrease warrant not having the open house?

Your thoughts and observations are most welcome.

 

During these tough economic times, you may find yourself in need of reducing your operating costs.

It can be quite difficult to do so, without sacrificing your services.  However, it can be done and here are a few simple tips that may assist you.

Cell phone

If your current plan is unlimited minutes, look back over your bills and see if your actual minutes usage needs an unlimited plan.  If not, you can reduce your plan temporarily and stay within your actual usuage minutes usually for significant savings.

MagicJack

If you do not have an unlimited plan and/or are considering an unlimited plan, MagicJack is a small device that connects your computer to a phone and allows you to make calls over the internet for a small yearly fee.  This also helps to save your roll over minutes if you have them.  By the way, you can also try this for free before buying :)

Mailouts

  1. If you do mail outs of flyers etc., look into using bulk rate services from the post office.  There is a minimum number of pieces required for bulk rate postage as well as a few other restrictions, but the savings is worth it.
  2. You have to pay to use bulk rate and obtain a bulk rate code.  If you can not afford the fee, perhaps getting some other agents in your office to split the fee will help.  Then you can all use the bulk rate code.
  3. Try using postcards instead letters/flyers when possible.  Postcards cost less to mail then a letter!
  4. If you can do more emails then mail outs, this may also help reduce your costs.

Printing

  1. If you use an ink jet printer, try switching to a laserjet printer.  toner is much less expensive then ink cartridges whan calculating costs per print.
  2. If you print in color, calculate your cost to print each unit and compare that to printing a single item then taking that item to a local business center (Staples, OfficeMax etc.) and having copies made.  Often times, you can take your markup document (word, publisher etc.) on a disk and they can print directly from your document.

Gas

Try to organize your trips effectively.  Planning multiple stops when you're out and about rather then going to one store/stop at a time should save you plenty of time and gas.

Thoughts, comments or suggestions?

Do you have ways of cutting your budget without cutting your business services you'd like to share?
