key west short sale: 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

Four years ago I wrote about a new structure that was being built at Gato Village Pocket Park, a small park on Louisa Street just east of First Sate Bank. The park was created to commemorate by design and structure the historic cigar maker cottages that were the predominant type of housing in that section of old Key West. The old Gato Cigar Factory at the corner of Simonton Street at Virginia Street is now a Monroe County office building.

key west short sale: Key West Real Estate 2011 Year End Assessment - 01/07/12 08:06 AM
Duval Street fifty years ago A couple of months ago I lamented over the horrible summer we had in Key West real estate sales. I know there are a couple of agents who have perpetual smiles glued to their faces because of all the sales they had. But for the rest of us, the sales this past summer were few and far between. Season started out great, but the year ended much worse than I expected. I decided to see how it ended by comparing recent sales years.I did a very simple comparison of single family home sales for the Key

I haven't written about the status of house sales in Key West for a while. I've been up and then down on what is going on in the market. For me the real estate market took a vacation along with the rest of the country this past summer. Oh, I stayed busy and wrote several offers on places for different buyers, but the offers did not materialize into contracts or contracts fell apart for other reasons. I talked with other agents about what was going on. Most had a similar experience. Some boasted about how much business they were doing. Well,
