sarasota real estate: Justin Shirley Brings Florida Real Estate Buyers “The Deals” - 06/04/08 02:33 PM
What does it take to get your sold in this chaotic Florida Real Estate Market? This is the question Justin has been answering for hundreds of his sellers throughout the state of Florida.. There's a number of different options & plans a seller can strategically approach to attract a buyer.. According to Justin, "Everyone is looking for a bargain in today's market.. Many buyers feel they aren't getting the best deal unless the home has a "Foreclosure" sign in the front yard, or the listing has buzz words like, "Short Sale", "Pre-Foreclosure", & "Quick Sale"".. These are all keywords that … (0 comments)

sarasota real estate: Sarasota Real Estate.. Who Wouldn't Want to Live Here??? - 04/11/08 02:05 PM
I grew up in a small town in Southwestern Virginia, never exposed to Siesta Key's powder-sanded beach, breathtaking sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico, tanning poolside on New Years Day listening to Jimmy Buffet, & playing golf all year with no concern for cold temperatures. Instead, I grew accustomed to shoveling snow 3 months out of the year & finding the best deals on 7 lb. jackets for cold windy days. Virginia is absolutely beautiful & a place where I always call home, but Sarasota, Florida is nothing short of paradise. Below is a list of major publications that agree with me. … (0 comments)

sarasota real estate: Sarasota, FL March 2008 Real Estate Sales Statistics - 04/02/08 06:01 PM
After running my search of new listings and closed transactions for the Sarasota market I see a big improvement in sales volume. I have been swamped with buyer traffic myself, and it seems that the market as a whole is experiencing the same trend. The only trend that will keep our property values from appreciating at this point is, the effect of buyers swarming the market and sellers seeing an opportunity to list quickly in hopes of a quick sale. In short, the more statistics that show "buy volume" going up, the more sellers pour into the market and see an … (0 comments)

sarasota real estate: Tax Deductions for Sarasota & Bradenton Homeowners - 03/24/08 05:25 PM
Tax time is here again! It seems like only last week my 2006 tax were being filed, but here we are again in 2008, and the deadline for 2007 taxes are soon approaching. I am not a CPA and never give personal tax advice. I'm asked many questions about personal tax deductions in relation to owning real estate, but always suggest contacting your local tax attorney or CPA for details and clarification for congruency with IRS rules and regulations. But, today I want to highlight 3 fundamental tax deductions the federal government grants homeowners that could save you money.

sarasota real estate: Bradenton Florida Real Estate- Property Taxes - 03/22/08 01:27 AM
I've always been curious to know exactly what property tax values are in Southwest Florida counties. After reading another dismal real estate article in the Manatee Herald Tribune, I now have a better idea what those figures are. Property taxes in Manatee County are most commonly taxed at a rate of 1.7% of the homes purchase price. These taxes are reassessed on an annual basis to determine new tax bill figures, minus any deductions you may be afforded for homestead exemptions, disabilities, etc. (Categorically there are a number of options residents may qualify for to receive assistance in the cost … (1 comments)

sarasota real estate: Feds Cut Rates.. Dollar Gets Stronger.. Real Estate Benefits - 03/18/08 07:43 PM
The Federal Government jumped back into the swampy pool of economic meltdown today, and cleaned up a little, aiding consumers. Wall Street experts speculated a drastic rate cut of 100 basis points, and CNBC hyped-up a potential forecast of a more drastic cut than this. This much of a rate cut would surely spike our deathly-ill economy, and put more money back in the pockets through savings on car loans, credit cards, & the dreaded mortgage payment. However, soon after 2:14pm (Eastern Standard Time) I was glued to the TV screen waiting for the result of the Feds decision. 75 Basis … (2 comments)

sarasota real estate: Sarasota & Bradenton Positive Cash-Flow Investments - 03/14/08 03:53 PM
First of all, this "roady" sign is great! I think I saw a few Real Estate investors holding this sign on Bee Ridge Rd. a few days ago. Funny but scary! This article is dedicated to finding deals that take this sign out of the investors hands and put that million in their pockets.
With over-inflated pricing in the Sarasota/Manatee market, there's a scarcity of investments that will result in a positive cash flow. I have a number of clients looking for these types of investments and it seems 99% of real estate agents feel, "you're not going to find anything that will … (0 comments)

sarasota real estate: Sarasota Real Estate! The Best Is Yet to Come.. - 03/11/08 10:43 PM
Before retiring to bed last night, I read a few interesting statistics worthy of passing on to you.. Real estate sales will get better as Florida provides homeowners with sunshine, golf, tennis, boating, shopping, and young professionals plenty of opportunity to sink their teeth into financial markets. I believe this..
In 2008 more than 300,000 people will relocate to the sunshine state. This should create a demand for 150,000 for sale and rental homes. Florida's economy will likely create 175,000 new jobs, completely outperforming national averages. It is estimated that 80 million national, and international, visitors will enjoy our sunshine and … (0 comments)

sarasota real estate: International Buyers Value Florida Real Estate - 03/06/08 04:19 PM
If there were a niche that sees the Florida real estate market as having more opportunity than ever, it would have to be international consumers. I day trade a bit on the international foreign currency market (FOREX) & the values being posted to international currencies are staggering. Currencies such as the British Pound & the EURO are valued at 1 & 1/2 - 2 times more valuable than our feeble dollar. The opportunity for global consumers (predominantly European markets) to enjoy a second home in Florida has never been better. What are the international buyers purchasing? A recent poll of 1,844 homes sold … (2 comments)

sarasota real estate: February 2008 Sarasota Real Estate Statistics - 03/04/08 03:05 PM
I pulled the February 2008 statistics for Sarasota County. This search bullets Sarasota properties that have "closed" only.. With local market conditions placing constraints on buyers financing capabilities, among other transactional hurdles, homes that go under contract aren't guaranteed to close. So to keep my statistical analysis very consistent moving forward, I will only be reporting numbers reflecting a "closed" status on MLS..
-Single Family Homes- 42-Condo- 110-Multi-Family (i.e. Duplex, Quadplex, etc.)- 0-Lots & Acreage- 5
What can we learn from these numbers? We see a nice spike in the condo market. I would attribute this to the second-home buyer vacationing in the … (0 comments)
