key west house for sale: 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)

key west house for sale: 1709 Washington Street - Key West, Florida - 05/08/12 06:45 AM
I recently showed some potential buyers the really charming house at 1709 Washington Street which I told my buyers was located in "the country". Up north in America the term country evokes the image of wheat or corn fields, cows and chickens, and a quite pastoral lifestyle. Down here in Key West country conjures up houses with big lots located on one of the side streets with no sidewalks and tropical landscaping in the area just east of White Street on the south end of the island. We met the listing broker at the house and she shared with us … (2 comments)

key west house for sale: Key West "Selling Season" - a Perspective - 05/07/12 10:24 AM
For Sale By Owner in Key West
The traditional Key West Selling Season (the time period between Christmas and Easter) just closed. I realize that many contracts that were written before January 2012 actually closed after then and that contracts written in April may not close for another month or longer. This analysis looks at the total closed transactions between January 1, 2012 and May 1, 2012 in the single family and compares the results to the same time period in 2010 and 2011. I used the Key West Association of Realtors mls database which shows only transaction where … (2 comments)

key west house for sale: Feds Behaving Badly - 04/25/12 06:50 AM
For nearly two weeks the nightly news and 24 hour cable news channels like MSNBC and CNN have been running continual updates on the Secret Service Scandal that started out over the refusal to pay for services rendered by one pick-up artist in Columbia. The US military got scrutinized and then Congress got into the act. Never saw a politician pass up a chance to get his ugly old puss in the media, especially if he could cause pain for the sitting President. Had the President's security really been endangered, I think all of us would be outraged. … (1 comments)

key west house for sale: 1403 Catherine Street - Key West - 04/20/12 08:55 AM
1403 Catherine Street - Key West - La Casa Roja
Just listed, but not by me, 1403 Catherine Street in Key West. I dug deep into the old shoe box and found a photo of the house with the notation that the home was built in the 1920's. The Monroe County Property Appraiser website says the house was built in 1943 (but that was during World War II and nothing was being built then but tanks and jeeps). I think the photo reference makes more sense. I found the smaller color photo that shows the property just before the current owners … (1 comments)

key west house for sale: I Sell Real Houses in Key West - 04/13/12 04:52 AM
Prices are rising, sellers are getting greedy again, and the dream of buying a place in Key West may start to fade for those who waited too long.Instead of buying a big house (or small cottage) you might consider purchasing the next best thing: a reproduction of a real Key West home.

It is the creation of local artist Ronny Bailey who I have blogged about before.Ronny grew up in Key West and was a carpenter for 30 years.

key west house for sale: 1514 45h Street - Key West - 04/01/12 06:21 AM
The three bedroom two bath family home located at 1514 4th Street in the Mid Town area of Key West became even more affordable with the price reduction to just $359,000 or $245 per sq ft for this 1466 sq ft home. I think the house may actually be a bit larger which, if true, would reduce the price per sq ft a bit. The lot is 54'x96' or 5184 sq ft. Most of the houses in this immediate neighborhood were built around the same time, 1966, and most have been updated since then.The listing Realtor describes this home this … (3 comments)

key west house for sale: Key West Recent Sales Update - 03/12/12 07:55 AM
A Key West Dream House We just passed the half-way point of the Key West seasonal real estate sales. At least that's the way I view it. Most real estate sales occur during the time period between Christmas and Easter because that is when there are more potential buyers in town looking to purchase property. When the weather up north turns nice the snowbirds go back home and spend their summers at their main homes or perhaps a summer place. For that reason most serious sellers try to list and get their Key West real estate sold when the largest … (1 comments)

key west house for sale: 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)

key west house for sale: Mr. Potato Head - 03/06/12 10:03 AM
One of the very best Christmas gifts I ever received was given to me by my big sister back in the early 1950's - it was a Mr. Potato Head. Unlike the Mr. Potato Heads today, you needed a real potato to make this toy work. Today's version is made out of plastic and to me that is just 'wrong'.The thing I liked about Mr. Potato Head was that I could make him become whoever I wanted him to be. He could look happy, for sure. But I could put his ears or nose in a funny place or move … (3 comments)
