bill nye realty: Many Happy Wishes to all on this Mothers' Day 2012! We Love You All! - 05/13/12 03:04 PM
In Spain, where I lived for 12 wonderful years, they celebrate Mothers' Day two weeks ahead of us here in the USA. But the sentiments are the same. To show appreciation to those women, without whom, none of us would be here.
If your mother is still living, give her a call to let her know you are thinking of her on this special day. And if she is no longer with you, take a second to conjure up one special memory you have of her. I think most of us have at least one special moment that keeps our mothers … (1 comments)

bill nye realty: Florida Sets Up State Website to Clarify New Septic Tank Law for Homeowners - 05/09/12 03:40 PM
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – May 9, 2012 – The Florida Department of Health (DOH) unveiled a new website designed to help Floridians and local governments understand new septic tank requirements outlined in House Bill 1263, which the Florida Legislature passed earlier this year. Florida Realtors backed the change, which eases a mandatory septic tank inspection.The new law gives local governments flexibility, though that means septic tank laws can change from county-to-county. To help Floridians and local governments understand the new rules, the DOH developed an informational webpage with information on services and how the law may impact their areas.Previously, inspection of a … (0 comments)

bill nye realty: John Elwell Wins CENTURY 21's Silver Eagle Sales Award for 2011 - 03/24/12 10:17 AM
We certainly had a better year in 2011 than we had had since the start of the recession. Many retirees looking for vacation or retirements homes, and many local buyers who wanted to take advantage of the low prices and VERY low mortgage interest rates. As a consequence, my sales improved. Not to the levels we had back in the mid 2000's, but we are getting there. And we are hearing more and more good news about our economy and that bodes well for 2012! 
This past week at a ceremony in Tampa, I was given the Silver Eagle Award "for outstanding achievement in sales: for 2011. … (0 comments)

bill nye realty: After a One Week Rise, Mortgage Interest Rates Settle Lower Once Again - 03/02/12 11:05 AM
Yesterday, 3/1/2012, Freddie Mac reported that the average mortgage interest rate for 30 year fixed-rate mortgages was 3.90%, down from 3.95% last week. The average interest rate for 15 year fixed-rate mortgages was 3.17%, down from 3.19% from last week. A year ago the 30 year rate was 4.87%! Take advantage of these rates if you can! Nothing lasts forever, even though it may seem like they will.
A Freddie Mac spokesperson said, "Fixed mortgage rates bottomed out in January and February of this year which is helping spur the housing market. For instance, pending existing home sales rose in January to its strongest pace … (0 comments)

bill nye realty: From Historic Lows, Interest Rates Move Up Slightly This Week: Freddie Mac - 02/23/12 02:08 PM
Today, 2/23/2012, Freddie Mac reported that the average mortgage interest rate for 30 year fixed-rate mortgages was 3.95%, up from 3.87% last week. The average interest rate for 15 year fixed-rate mortgages was 3.19%, up from 3.16% from last week. A year ago the 30 year rate was 4.95%! At some point interest rates had to start rising again, and this week they did! Not significantly, but buyers should take note and watch further movements VERY carefully. You do not want to get stuck with high interest rates when still historically low rates are still available. A word to the wise is sufficient! Or … (0 comments)

CENTURY 21's national headquarters has just released its rankings for the year-to-date ending with the last day of June 2011.
Based on "sale sides" I was in the Top 50 agents of the thousands who working in this large section of Florida. It is nice to see that the company is noticing the work I do.
One reason I am successful is my broad use of the internet. Unlike many agents, I do not rely on just the few websites that all listings are automatically placed on. Instead, I have purchased sites of my own and also utilize many of those offered by other companies. At … (0 comments)

CENTURY 21's national headquarters has just released its rankings for the year-to-date ending with the last day of May 2011.

How do I keep myself in the top levels from month-to-month? Maybe one of the reasons is the attention I pay to the needs of my customers, buyers and sellers. I try to go the extra mile to make things work for them … (0 comments)

bill nye realty: Average Mortgage Interest Rates Creep Just a Tad Lower This Week - 05/27/11 11:56 AM
Yesterday, 5/26/2011,  Freddie Mac reported that the average mortgage interest rate for 30 year fixed-rate mortgages was 4.60%, down from 4.61% a week ago. The average interest rate for 15 year fixed-rate mortgages was 3.78%, down from 3.80% last week. A year ago the 30 year rate was 4.84%. 
For the 6th week in a row mortgage rates dropped a bit due to reports of slower than expected economic activity. The Index of Leading Indicators fell 0.3% in April and that was the first decline since June of 2010.
On a good note, it is believed that housing prices may be nearing a bottom very … (0 comments)

bill nye realty: Freddie Mac Reports that Average Mortgage Interest Rates Has Small Increase this Week - 03/31/11 02:06 PM
Today, 3/31/2011,  Freddie Mac reported that the average mortgage interest rate for 30 year fixed-rate mortgages was 4.86%, up from 4.81% a week ago. The average interest rate for 15 year fixed-rate mortgages was 4.09%, up from 4.04% last week. A year ago the 30 year rate was 5.08%. 
Interest rates remain low, historically speaking. However, they did rise a bit more this past week, according to Freddie Mac's weekly survey. Inflation news was tepid and caused no worries this week. They say that the pace of inflation is the lowest it has been since 1960. At least that is some good news. Though I … (0 comments)

bill nye realty: Average Mortgage Interest Rates Little Changed This Week says Freddie Mac - 03/10/11 07:54 PM
Today, 3/10/11,  Freddie Mac reported that the average mortgage interest rate for 30 year fixed-rate mortgages was 4.88% (4.85% in the southeast), up from 4.87% a week ago. The average interest rate for 15 year fixed-rate mortgages was 4.15%, unchanged from 4.15% last week. A year ago the 30 year rate was 4.95%. Not much movement at all and very little effect on monthly payments. 
Some of you may have heard that the latest unemployment figures were promising and this helped mortgage rates stay more-or-less unmoved from last week's figures. 222.000 jobs were created by the private sector in the USA and thatis the most since … (0 comments)

bill nye realty: The 2011 Legislative Session in Florida Has Begun - Will We See Any Improvements?? - 03/07/11 05:24 PM
The Florida State Legislative session is set to begin tomorrow, March 8th. During the 60 days that the lawmakers are working, we will see if they are looking out for our best interests, or those of special interests, like big business buddies. Too often it seems like they strive to help the latter more than the former. I once went up to help lobby for teachers and was dismayed to see how things work in Tallahassee! As they say "no one wants to see how laws or sausages are made". Oh so true !
In any case, the Florida Associaton of REALTORS has set up a … (0 comments)
