ocala real estate: Ocala Real Estate......Deed Restrictions - 05/06/08 02:38 PM
Deed restrictions in Ocala and surrounding Marion county can mean a lot of things. They can be common sense things like you can't put a mobile or manufactued home in a subdivision of $300,000.00 block homes. Or they can keep you from parking your boat or RV in your yard. Deed restictions in Ocala can run the gamout from the common sence to the intrusive.
A lot depends on the personality of the buyer. If you're a free spirit and tolerant of others then you should look at non deed restricted subdivisions. However deed restrictions are there for a purpose. That purpose … (0 comments)

ocala real estate: Ocala Property Taxes - 04/24/08 09:19 AM
Taxes, insurance and deed restrictions are the three big questions that buyers have about Ocala real estate. Property taxes in Ocala are based on the selling price of the home minus homestead excemptions. Homestead excemptions are currently $25,000.00. There are additional $500.00 excemptions for widows & widowers, blind persons and permanently disabled persons. There is also a $5,000.00 excemption for permanently disabled veterans. Everyone asks "what are the current owners property taxes?" In Ocala, that question is irrelevevant because taxes are capped by Ammendment 10. Ammendment 10: "Beginning January 1, 1995, the assessed value of property receiving Homestead Exemption will be limited … (0 comments)

ocala real estate: A Better Way to Search on the Ocala Marion County MLS - 11/27/07 09:58 AM
A new way to search the Ocala MLS. A must read for anyone interested in buying Ocala real estate.
The "Listing Cart" is a relatively new featured provided by the Ocala Marion County MLS. You define your search criteria such as number of bedrooms, bathrooms, square feet of living area, size of lot ect. Actually you can get very very specific or keep the search very broad. A word of warning though, too broad a search will yield hundreds and hundreds of homes. After defining you search you will be emailed a link to the Ocala MLS where your … (0 comments)

ocala real estate: What happened to the Ocala real estate market? - 10/24/07 07:17 AM
What happened to Ocala's red hot real estate market? Well in many ways we have returned to normal. For a couple of years Ocala was one of the hottest real estate markets in the country. We are now experiencing a much needed correction.
The reason for this real estate frenzy was two fold. Ocala was and still is the lowest priced city in Florida to buy a home. Additionally Ocala had and still has a lot of empty space. There are literally thousands on vacant house lots and large tracts of develop-able land. All this open space and low prices attracted big … (7 comments)

ocala real estate: I bought my first house at 16% interest......It was the best thing I ever did. - 08/07/07 03:41 PM
It was 1981 and I was 26 years old and determined to buy my first house. I had to borrow the down payment and all I could afford was a handyman's special in West Groton Massachusetts. Interest rates on home loans were more like today's credit card rates. We were experiencing terrible inflation. The Iran hostage crisis was just getting over after watching a it on the news every night for over a year. Gasoline was over a dollar a gallon, god knows what that is in today's money. Now that's REAL doom and gloom.
However I forged ahead with … (9 comments)

As you may or may not know most of the roads in the Rolling Hills sub division, just west of Ocala , are either limerock or just dirt. Limeroch basically being a very hard packed dirt road.
