key west bank owned: 1433 Flagler Avenue - Bank Owned - Key West - 04/29/13 06:21 AM

The newly listed Bank Owned property at 1433 Flagler Avenue in Key West is most certainly something to cheer about, especially if you are a current Key West family looking for a place that has four bedrooms,  lots of quality living space, a pool, a great enclosed yard, and is in move-in condition.  I was totally surprised by how nice this place looks.

The original house was built in 1953 and has been updated a couple of times in recent years. The current owner has added impact windows and doors, painted and cleaned the inside and outside, added the … (2 comments)

key west bank owned: 1309 Villa Mill Alley - Old Town - Key West - Bank Owned - 04/04/13 10:44 AM


 
If you have been looking for a Bank Owned property in Key West with lots of upside potential, the new listing (not mine) at 1309 Villa Mill Alley is something to cheer about.  I can't say enough good things about this property. The listing Realtor does a good job, however, by stating:

key west bank owned: 45 Spoonbill Way - Key West - Bank Owned - 12/28/12 02:50 AM

 
Recently listed, but not by me, a very clean two bedroom, two bath town home located at 45 Spoonbill Way in the Key West Golf Club Community.  This 900 sq ft two story town home has main level and second floor front and rear porches which seem to enlarge the living space dramatically.  All of the porches on this property are screened. I personally would remove the screens, but that is a matter of preference. CLICK HERE to view more photos I took of this property.

key west bank owned: First Three Quarters Real Estate Sales Report - Key West - 09/30/12 04:24 AM

  I just did a quick review of the real estate sales for the Island of Key West for the first nine months of 2012. Shall we celebrate with a Key West "segar" and some Mumm's champagne?
I did not include any sales on Stock Island, the golf course, or any house, condo, trailer, etc. located east of Cow Key Channel. The reason I did this is that when potential buyers want to buy a place in Key West they tend to resist even looking at anything off the island itself. It usually takes a more open and accepting buyer … (0 comments)

key west bank owned: Bank Owned - 1221 20th Street - Key West - 08/09/12 09:57 AM
 
Attention Key West bargain hunters, this is your second chance at this Bank Owned house that just went back on the market on August 8th. It went under contract right after it was listed a couple of weeks ago. For whatever reason, the house is now available a second time. I took a quick peek this morning, snapped some pics, and I am here to report that I think this is a good deal. (Not that my opinion means that much.)

1221 20th Street is located on the east end of the island of Key West. It sits on … (0 comments)

key west bank owned: 3343 Flagler Avenue - Bank Owned - Key West - 05/18/12 06:56 AM

First Off: That is not my pic above. I recently had a buyer in town who thought the black and white photo above was of me when I was in high school.  I know I'm getting old, but that guy might be "in the home" by now...

key west 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)

319 Grinnell Street - Old Town - Key West - Bank Owned Just listed, but not by me, 319 Grinnell Street near the Historic Key West Seaport. This house is Bank Owned. I expect multiple offers on this very interesting property because of its low offering price of just $299,500, and the fact that it has three key features most second home buyers want in a Key West house: (1) style, (2) pool, and off street parking.

key west bank owned: 1017 17th Street - Key West - Bank Owned - 07/22/11 12:23 PM
Frequent readers know how much I like to dig into the shoebox to find old photos of Key West. Since most of "New Town" is "new", finding old photos is difficult. The above photo shows the New Town area when photographed in the 1970s. I marked the approximate location of the new Bank Owned property located at 1017 17th Street with an "X".
