duval street: Non-Bargain Properties in Key West - 05/24/11 12:33 PM
405 Frances Street before Renovation
405 Frances Street nearly completed in May 2011 I sometimes get emails from Readers asking about "low priced" properties that I have never written about. They ask me what I think. I usually reply with some awful story about the property. Many potential buyers often equate low price with value. They are mistaken.Low Price and Value are not synonymous-especially in a place like Key West where asking prices are typically higher on a per square foot basis than most locations in the United States.While I was away a property I have showed a few … (1 comments)

duval street: Windward Park - Key West - Short Sale - 12/30/10 10:57 AM
Just listed, but not by me, 606 Truman Street Unit No. 2 in the Windward Park townhome complex. If the address seems familiar, it is. I wrote about this same unit a little over a year ago when it had just been listed by another Realtor at a higher price but also as a short sale. Those two listings caused a big stir. Several other agents got a chance to see the 'other' unit but not No.2. I was told that the owner received several very good offers on both units. As I recall the owner did not accept any of … (1 comments)

duval street: 728 Windsor Lane - Old Town - Key West - 06/27/10 12:46 PM
728 Windsor Lane in 2010 728 Windsor Lane in 1965 I think the little cottage at 728 Windsor Lane is one of the best buys in Old Town Key West. The seller just reduced the asking price from $260,,000 to $229,900. This house is still livable as is for a few years, but it really needs a redo. When I show a house like this I tell my buyers not to consider what it looks like now on the inside or the outside because when to redo is done, you won't be able to recognize the place. The good thing … (1 comments)

duval street: 1130 Royal Street - Bank Owned - Old Town -Key West - 05/28/10 02:13 PM
This seems like deja vu all over again. Actually, I reported on 1130 Royal Street over a year ago. There was a flurry of activity and it went under contract right away. I had a buyer that submitted a higher than asking price offer and he did not get the property. Neither did anybody else. Apparently there was a problem in the previous foreclosure and that prevented the bank owner from selling the property to anyone.1130 Royal Street has just been put back on the market, still bank owned, and now offered for sale at $325,000 or $433 per sq ft … (1 comments)

The asking price has been reduced to $699,000.I have been selling houses in Key West since late 1996. Almost every buyer I have met with or corresponded with says the same thing "I want a place that I can eventually retire to. In the meantime, I would like to be able to rent the house and have it help pay for itself." Most potential buyers are realistic enough to realize that most … (0 comments)

duval street: 415 Julia Street - Old Town - Key West - Short Sale - 09/09/09 09:15 AM
415 Julia Street is located a hop, skip, and a jump off of Duval Street near Truman Avenue. The reason the location is important is that the location is important.

Having a good property in a good location could mean good income. (415 Julia Street does not have a transient license at this time.) This property sits just west of the Duval Gardens Bed & Breakfast and a bit south of the recently updated Orchid Inn. There is … (0 comments)

duval street: The Key West Bank Dick - Part Two - 05/20/09 10:25 AM
I've complained before that the Key West Association of Realtors mls database does not automatically show bank owned properties. Some Realtors believe that lender-owners do not want to disclose to the public that a bank owns a piece of property. I guess that is possible, but having worked in the Special Assets division of two banks, I know that we advertised we were selling bank foreclosures. There is a segment of the market that wants to buy bank foreclosures: they think they are going to get a deal. They have watched those late night infomercials on how to buy real estate … (0 comments)
