conch house: 507 Frances Street - Old Town - Key West - 06/18/11 08:28 AM
507 Frances Street is located on one of the best blocks in Old Town You probably have strolled by, rode your bike past, or driven by 507 Frances Street and wondered what it is and then easily continued walking, riding, or driving. It gets noticed because of its atypical architecture, but then it gets ignored because of it. People can't figure out what it is or why it should interest them as a potential home in Key West. I'm here to shed some light on this property and perhaps create a little interest in it.

conch house: 630 Elizabeth - Old Town - Key West - Bank Owned - 03/03/09 10:22 AM
630 Elizabeth Street in Old Town Key West sits at the top of Solares Hill. The public records show the house was built in 1933 but the house is much older than that. This Old House has seen better days, for sure. It has been used and abused and now it is Bank Owned. It went through that earlier Florida Real Estate Auction and went unsold. So now it is back on the market with a new listing Realtor and a new price. This is how the listing Realtor describes 630 Elizabeth Street: "This historical building, located atop Solares Hill, was … (1 comments)

conch house: 825 Ashe Street - Old Town - Key West - 01/21/09 11:21 AM
A couple of years ago I purchased the right to use the image of the quintessential Key West Cottage from Kimberlee Clark, the artist who created it. CLICK HERE to see more of Kimberlee's art. She has a lot of great Key West images. When I decided to write about 825 Ashe Street in Old Town Key West I thought, that's the house Kimberlee used as the model for my logo. Maybe it was; maybe it wasn't. You decide. This is how the listing Realtor describes 825 Ashe Street: "This historical Conch charmer in the heart of Old Town Key West … (0 comments)

conch house: 518 William Street - Old Town - KeyWest - Short Sale - 11/21/08 01:34 PM
The house at 518 William Street is offered as a Short Sale at the asking price of $875,000 which amounts to about $515 per sq ft. The listing agent (not me) shows the square footage as 1700 s.f. The County Appraiser's Office shows the square footage as 1485. An actual survey or appraisal should provide a better statement as to the true size of the house. I mention this because errors in the size of a building can lead to errors in valuing it, even in a down market. The house sits on a 2132 sq ft lot (20' frontage X … (0 comments)

conch house: Half Price Sale on a Single Family House in Old Town - 01/08/08 01:02 PM
The little house at 1119 Olivia Street in Old Town Key West has just been reduced to $635,000 from its original price of $1,275,000 in March 2007. Half Price! Too bad it wasn't worth the original asking price, however. The property is owned and listed by a Realtor--not me. Thank God. But he must disclose that to the public. Please don't take these comments on my part as being negative. But you need to know the facts when you invest your money in property. Especially now! This is an excellent opportunity to own your own Conch home located in Old Town. … (1 comments)

conch house: 2007 Key West Residential Sales Report - 01/08/08 01:00 PM
Hey readers, I am not a statistician. I am a firm believer you can use statistics to justify any position you want to take. The accuracy of the information I am about to give you comes from the records of the Key West Association of Realtors mls database. The information in that database is entered by individual offices or sometimes individual Realtors. Get the point: I am hinting that the numbers are probably not 100 per cent correct. You know the phrase "garbage in, garbage out". I am certain that innocent errors were made while entering data. Also, our database contains … (0 comments)
