century 21: Average Mortgage Interest Rates Reach New Historic Low Levels This Week! - 05/31/12 12:55 PM
Today, 5/31/2012, Freddie Mac reported that the average mortgage interest rate for 30 year fixed-rate mortgages was 3.75%, down from 3.78% last week. The average interest rate for 15 year fixed-rate mortgages was 2.97%, down from 3.04% last week. A year ago the 30 year rate was 4.60%. The market just keeps getting better and better for buyers. And for sellers too since lower rates mean more people qualify to buy their properties. Do keep in mind though, that recently we have seen the drop in home prices bottom out and they are starting to rise. Will this trend continue? Who knows. But we all … (0 comments)

On June 1st the 2012 Hurricane Season began. Let's hope that this year will be a quiet one. Though it would be nice is some mild tropical storms or depressions would swing by to drop off some much needed rain here in Florida.
The National Hurricane Center has a hurricane tracking map that you can download in PDF format. Print it up, put it on your fridge or bulletin board, and you can monitor any storms that might be approaching our area. Kind of fun to do as long as the storms do not get too close.

century 21: 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)

century 21: 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)

century 21: Letter Carriers to Pick-Up Donations for Food Banks on Saturday, May 12, 2012 - At Least in Pasco County, Florida - 05/09/12 02:20 PM
Today my mail carrier left off a bag in my mailbox. It informed me that this Saturday, May 12, 2012, the letter carriers here (and I suspect in the rest of the United States) will be picking up non-perishable food items which they will deliver to local food banks.
We all know that economic times, while improving slowly, are still tough for many. But most of us DO have food on the table and are not worried about where our next meals will come from. However, sadly, in one of the richest countries in the world, there are men, women, and … (0 comments)

century 21: Patriot Flea Market in Zephyrhills, Florida Closed for the Summer of 2012 - Re-Opens in October! - 04/16/12 02:10 PM
My dad has informed me that the Patriot Flea Market just south of Zephyrhills, Florida is no longer open and is taking a break for the summer. That makes sense since so many of our residents have returned to their northern homes and the weather here is really heating up. Perhaps a little too hot to be wandering around under our intense summer sun here in Forida. Dad believes that the flea market will re-open in late October 2012. I will try to let you know when it is once again operating. You can get more information by visiting the … (0 comments)
