bank owned: But I Don't Play Golf! - Key West - 05/15/12 08:11 AM
There are two types of buyers for houses in Key West: people with money and people who wish they had money to buy what they want. I have found that people with money often get what they want because they know how to buy what they want. They are decisive and go after the house. If they can't get what they want, they walk away and find something equally nice or they buy something less than what they want and spend the money to create exactly the house they desire. Since not even the rich can move locations, rich … (0 comments)

bank owned: 829 Simonton Street - Bank Owned Investment Property - Key West - 05/02/12 01:46 PM
829 Simonton Street - Bank Owned - Old Town - Key West
Preferred Properties Key West just listed the landmark building at 829 Simonton Street in Old Town Key West. I wrote about this property several months ago when it was a short sale that, well, didn't sell. Now the building is Bank Owned and Offered at $935,000.
The building was originally built circa 1874 and was significantly updated in 2002. The building sold in 2004 for $1,600,000. The building was updated again when the last commercial tenant customized the offices which occupy the main floor, or … (1 comments)

bank owned: Fool's Gold - 05/01/12 08:27 AM
In the next couple of days I will blog about the results of the past Key West real estate selling season. I thought it worth while to discuss a re-emerging facet of Key West real estate and that is the return of the greedy sellers. Maybe they never went away. Maybe they just hid sheepishly, lingering in the background, awaiting the right moment to re-appear from their sulk-fest after the American economy spiraled out of control in 2008.
Key West got a double whammy during the economic downturn. A huge number of the homes and condos people … (0 comments)

bank owned: Is The Party Over? - 03/23/12 10:15 AM
I was walking down the street a while back and noticed a couple of Key West crazies acting out on the front porch. I picked up my camera, snapped a couple of quick pics, and ran. It occurred to me that they may have been upset by the fact that there is definitely a shortage of houses for sale in Key West. If you spend a lot of time searching the Key West mls for a house or condo to buy, you have probably seen for yourself that the inventory of available properties is definitely down. I have posted a couple … (3 comments)

bank owned: Key West on HGTV's HOUSE HUNTERS - 03/10/12 05:56 AM
House or Condo in Key West, Florida I miss the old days when we all had three TV networks plus educational TV (where you could watch a guy paint!). Back then the choices were simple and the viewer had an easy and predictable viewing experience. Today cable and satellite TV offer so many diverse viewing options that a viewer needs a guide to help find what is available at any one moment or what will be available in the future. By chance last night (Friday, March 9th) I was searching for something to watch other than the 19th repeat of MONK … (3 comments)

bank owned: Key West Beachside Resort - Unit No. 432 - Bank Owned Condo - 12/07/11 12:56 PM
Key West Beachside Resort
Model Unit Photos - Key West Beachside Resort A lot of people in my generation (the baby boomers) are already making plans as to where they will spend their reclining years. Many will keep a place up north for the summer and want a place in Florida for the winter. There's nothing new about that. Except there are going be so many of us soon-to-be-retirees that there may be a run on retirement places in Florida. I don't think our generation will be ready for the nursing home type facility. Instead I think a lot … (0 comments)

bank owned: Home Buy Chirstmas - 12/06/11 02:33 PM
Take a look at the above photo of the big old Revival Style house at 630 Elizabeth Street. It sits at the tippy top of Solares Hill in Old Town Key West. It looks kind of sad and neglected. But it has the character and good bones that attract would-be restorers, people with imagination, strong backs, big arms, and a deep purse.I took the photos below late Monday afternoon from the second floor that overlooks Windsor Lane as it heads toward the Key West cemetery and also Elizabeth Street where it intersects Angela and Windsor Lane. The views are genuinely incomparable … (1 comments)

bank owned: Pelican Landing - Key West Condo - 11/27/11 08:55 AM
Pelican Landing Condominiums - Key West I have written about Pelican Landing Condominiums before. A couple of years ago I wrote about a penthouse unit offered as a short sale, and earlier this year I penned a piece about a bank owned unit. The short sale unit is still available, but the bank owned unit was sold. 915 Eisenhower Drive Unit # 302 is not afflicted by the stigma of being bank owned nor is it a short sale. Instead, it is a very nicely furnished two bedroom, two bath unit with a boat slip and a transient license … (2 comments)

bank owned: 205 Golf Club Drive - Bank Owned - The Sanctuary - Key West - 10/14/11 12:16 PM
205 Golf Club Drive - Key West The developer named that special section of the Key West golf course The Sanctuary for good reason: it is an enclave of primarily large homes with great views of the lush tropical golf course. Large iron gates separate The Sanctuary from the rest of the development. Once you pass the entrance you have views of the lakes to the left and links to the right. Then the big houses come into view. Large homes line Golf Club Drive as it loops around to return to the gated entrance. Homes on the inside are … (2 comments)

bank owned: Misconception - Key West Real Estate - 09/29/11 10:20 AM
As I get older the more I thought I knew becomes blurred. Partly because my memory isn't what it used to be (true), and because things that I grew up believing are true no more. I really did believe in the Tooth Fairy. I really believed in Santa Clause despite the protestations of my big brother otherwise. When Officer Goody came to my grade school and told my classmates about safety, I believed all policemen were good. I believed, for example, that my government would never lie to me. Life taught me that sometimes others say things that are not true: … (1 comments)

I know I went on and on about how sweet life can be on a little lane. And then late Friday afternoon another Realtor added a new listing to the Key West mls of a Bank Owned Property at 1025 Elgin Lane. The price is right, just $249,900 or $282 per sq ft for this … (4 comments)
