agents: Bay County Florida ~ Ends Year with Sales UP - 01/12/12 11:18 AM
What a great way to end the year. Bay County Florida is home to Tyndall Airforce Base located in Panama City Beach, FL. Sales Trends are showing signs of growth.
Total Single Family Homes were up 16.62% for the year over last year's numbers.
Condo Sales were way up with an increase of 23.68% for the year.
Lot Sales were up slightly at 3.78%.
The best news is that the number of foreclosures are dropping significantly and were down 39.44% for the year over last year.
With inventory depleting, rising prices will surely follow.

agents: Cobra Zones - 12/20/10 08:28 AM
A closing that was supposed to happen, didn't. Along the beach areas of Destin, Florida there are several neighborhoods that are in a Cobra Zone. Cobra Zones are insurance zones where the Federal Government will deny flood insurance to home or commercial owners. Flood Insurance is available but only through insurance companies like Lloyds of London and at a high cost. The deal that went south recently had a yearly flood insurance cost of $30,000 per year. That was enough to make this buyer walk. I am now unsure how this bank owned property will ever sell. Of course a cash buyer … (6 comments)

agents: Benefits of Using a Buyer's Agent - 11/15/10 07:19 AM
One benefit of using a buyer's agent like me to represent you when you buy a home is that I'll put my excellent negotiation skills to work, so you pay the lowest possible price. In some cases, this not only means settling on an excellent sale price. It can also mean arranging the best mortgage terms, reducing your closing costs, as well as getting the home seller to throw in extras and pay for repairs not required by the home inspection.
I'll even get you discounts through my network of recommended home service providers. Not only that, but all … (0 comments)

agents: Radon Defined - 11/02/10 10:49 AM
A colorless, odorless, naturally occurring gas produced from the decay of natural radioactive minerals in the ground. Radon is a carcinogen responsible for thousands of lung cancer deaths each year. Presence in a building is measured as picocuries per liter of air (pCi?L). The EPA suggested action level is 4, and levels above this have been found in homes and buildings in most every state and territory.
Levels build up when radon is drawn into a building by exhaust systems and fans and thermal stack effects through cracks in a basement drain. A 48-hour test is recommended during a real estate … (2 comments)

In Watercolor here are the latest stats:
Number of active home listings in Watercolor today are: 88
Number of listings that sold in the last 30 days are: 5
Number that sold (5) x 12 months = 60
60 divided by 52 weeks a year = 1.15 units per week
Watercolor still has a 76 week supply of inventory. Still a very strong buyer's market.

agents: Classes are Key to Success - 10/14/10 08:47 AM
Have you taken a real estate class lately? How about a class on social media or blogging or using Facebook for business? Have you been to a recent Ethics Class or Fair Housing Class. What about a new Contracts Class? All of these classes are offered by my local Association. In fact, I think that my local Association, the Emerald Coast Association of Realtors is the best on Earth. They are very proactive and offer more training and classes than one can possibly take all in one year, but offer alternatives too. For example, there is a four day cruise at … (3 comments)

agents: Successful Realtors Take More Heat - 05/01/09 01:53 PM
I am having a successful year. What I find interesting about this is that other Realtors get so jealous when you are having a good year. Today I took down all of the posts that dealt with market reports because they contained links to listings that I do not own. Guess what? I hardly ever take a listing. I work as a Buyer's Representative and not a Listing Agent. 99% of my business is as a buyer's representative. In order to do this you must provide listings to them from the local MLS to provide them a range of choices in which … (9 comments)

agents: Adopt a Mile - 04/21/09 06:32 PM
Tomorrow is Earth Day. I have recently adopted a mile in my neighborhood and walk it daily now with a trash bag and pick up mostly beer bottles. Why is that beer bottles are the number one item found along our roads anyway? Cigarette boxes are also another popular found item. Once in a while I find a coffee cup or a Subway sandwich wrap and cup. I like it best when I find money. Mostly pennies. I guess that is why they say pennies from heaven? Who knows, but I would prefer quarters if you are going to be throwing … (5 comments)

agents: Is there anything short about a short sale? - 04/20/09 07:10 PM
Okay, I have to admit I have written 31 short sales in the last year and a half. Zero have closed. Am I excited about them? Not in the least. In fact, I advise my clients now that the name of this sale is a joke. There is nothing short about a short sale at all. I have waited and waited and waited.
One of them made it all the way to the closing table and I was representing the buyer. The buyer's funds were there and all of the papers were signed. The seller, who was a real estate agent … (16 comments)

agents: Tallahassee Realtor Days - 04/15/09 07:21 AM
Today I am on my way to meet with the Tallahassee State Capitol Legislative Days where Realtors can address homeowner issues in the State of Florida. Being a Board Member of the Emerald Coast Association of Realtors, I do know my legislators and do hope that I am the voice of my customers. What's on your mind? Our biggest issues all revolve around short sales and the length of time that it is taking for the banks to respond in a timely manner.
I will report back to you on the status of my meeting today.

agents: Head's Up on Foreclosures - 04/07/09 08:09 AM
Foreclosures in my market area are selling in an average of just 58 days now, down from 71. Multiple offers are appearing on the market again and buyers are bidding over the foreclosure prices. Just want to give you a head's up because now is the time to buy. Waiting may only make you pay more in the long run. Don't get me wrong there are other foreclosures in the wings. Plenty of them. I looked over the Lis Pendens list just now. However, they are selling at a quicker pace.
I cover the following areas along the beautiful Gulf of … (1 comments)
