NEWS FLASH!! Senators strike a deal to extend tax credit.

Ray and Karen Levy (CB Camelot Realty / Lake County Home Pros) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 17:06:17 -0500

I just received a text saying the credit has been extended to April 1 2010.

This is from Fox news just a few minutes ago.

Senators have struck a deal to extend a popular tax credit for home-buyers beyond those buying their first house,

Those who have lived in their residence for five consecutive years would be newly eligible for a $6,500 credit,

It appears as though the credit will be $8,000 for first time buyers and $6500 for those who have owned a home for more than five years.

Yeah!!

Senate to vote on Home buyer credit extension today.

Ray and Karen Levy (CB Camelot Realty / Lake County Home Pros) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 12:45:52 -0500

Senate to vote on Home buyer credit extension today.

I just received this and wanted to pass it along. Here is an excerpt of what Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is proposing. Under Reid's plan, the $8,000 tax credit would be phased out over time, dropping to $6,000 in April, $4,000 in July, and $2,000 in October, before expiring at the end of 2010.

What are your thoughts?

2009 Mount Dora Craft Fair. Fun, Food, and Activities. Exhibitors claim success.

Ray and Karen Levy (CB Camelot Realty / Lake County Home Pros) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 08:14:55 -0500

An estimated 250,000 attended this years Mount Dora Craft Fair.

I spoke to several vendors on Sunday that told me they sales were brisk on Saturday.

From my viewpoint the fair was a success for a number of important reasons.

We noticed that the parking fees were lower than previous years and many of the vendors seemed to have made adjustments in their pricing.

The event was well marketed through multiple media outlets.

Mother nature cooperated with sunny weather too.

Here is a creative piece of artwork I felt was quite appropriate for the times and location of the event.

It's no secret that families are looking for economical activities and that is a major reason for attending.

I did make note of an increased number of visitos carrying their purchased treasures as compared to last year.

Also, I understand at least two offers were written on Mount Dora Real Estate as a result of out-of-town visitors.

If you are thinking of re-locating to our charming area please be sure to look us up. We would be thrilled to show you all this area has to offer.

JUST CLOSED A $6,000 COMMISSION THANKS TO ACTIVE RAIN

Ray and Karen Levy (CB Camelot Realty / Lake County Home Pros) — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 18:55:08 -0500

For anyone who is new to AR we just want to let you know it really works.

A few months back I was contacted to list a home in the Mount Dora area.

The referring agent had read a few of our AR blogs and after a telephone interview we received the referral.

We were the fourth Realtor to list the home and the owner was feeling a severe cas of Seller Fatigue.

The home closed about a week ago and the customer was very happy.

Again, We just wanted to thank the developers and members of AR.

Have a great selling season,

Karen and Ray Levy

The house just passed a bill to extend the expiration of the Tax Credit to Active service members

Ray and Karen Levy (CB Camelot Realty / Lake County Home Pros) — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 14:42:45 -0500

A good friend of mine Gerry Suarez just passed this along to me and I wanted to share it with AR members.

It appears as though the house passed a bill to extend the deadline of benefits to Active Service personnel and their families.

The bill passed 416 to 0.

Gerry believes and I agree this shows the sentiment of the House and hopefully the Senate to extend the tax credit for everybody.

Either way it's going to be a very interesting next few weeks.

Below is an excerpt from Charles B Rangel, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee

"This bill makes sure that the brave men and women who put their lives on the line every day get to enjoy the same benefits as every other American who benefits from their service,"said Chairman Charles B. Rangel (D-NY). "By extending the first-time homebuyer tax credit for service members overseas, we give these families more time to utilize the benefit, while also helping our economy continue its recovery. I thank my colleagues for supporting this important legislation and look forward to working with the Senate to deliver this bill to President Obama for his signature."

What are your thoughts about extending and or increasing the credit?

Interest rates around 5% the $8,000 tax credit, and increased affordability seem to be the key market factors at this time.

"The Perfect Storm for Home Buyers in Today's Real Estate Market" Homes sales are on the rise.

Ray and Karen Levy (CB Camelot Realty / Lake County Home Pros) — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 09:04:50 -0500

"The Perfect Storm for Home Buyers in

Today's Real Estate Market"

Home Buyers Snap Up Great Deals In Lake County Florida

With a decrease of $50,541 in the average sale price of a home in Lake County coupled historically low interest rates and an $8,000 tax credit for first time home buyers its no mystery why the number of sales have surged from 174 in January 2009 to 268 in May.

Informed home buyers understand there is a narrow window of opportunity especially with the $8000 tax credit scheduled to expire on December 1^st 2009. Keep in mind the home must close by that date!

Lenders are reporting an avalanche of loan applications and this may increase the amount of time to get your loan approved.

Yes, These are challenging times and with with every challenge comes opportunity. We challenge you to take advantage of this "Perfect" buyers market and team up with a local Realtor that can help you get the best overall value with the least amount of stress.

Did you know your Realtors were involved in organizing a food drive help local residents in need? Another food drive is planned for July 23rd and we encourage the support of our great community. Call 352-343-3003 for more information and drop off locations.

CONNECT YOUR iPHONE TO YOUR LAPTOP TO ACCESS THE INTERNET!

Ray and Karen Levy (CB Camelot Realty / Lake County Home Pros) — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 09:09:02 -0500

Release 3.0 of iPhone will support tethering and be blessed by AT&T.

Tethering allows you to connect your iphone directly to your laptop for a connection to the Internet.

Until now it could be done, but you risked violating your agreement with AT&T.

According to a sales representative at Best Buy the feature should be available in the mid June time-frame.

I've been very happy with he speed of the connection on my iphone, but my eyes get tired looking at that small screen after ten or fifteen minutes.

We researched the air-cards from Sprint, AT&T and Verizon, but found them to be a bit expensive at $59.00 a month for the premium package.

More and More we see a need for this type of service in our business.

Response time and availability to information are key ingredients to the success of our business.

OVER 4 MILLION CLOSED AND ANOTHER 4.2 MILLION UNDER CONTRACT DURING THE MONTH OF MARCH AT COLDWELL BANKER CAMELOT REALTY.

KAREN AND I HAD CLOSINGS EXCEEDING $600,000

THIS IS THE SECOND MONTH OF INCREASING SALES VOLUME AND MAY BE A SIGN THE WE HAVE FOUND THE FLOOR IN CERTAIN MARKET SEGMENTS.

Homes below $150,000 are still a the most active parts of the market. We are seeing an increase in the over $200,000 price point also. Even 400 to 500k is showing a small amount of interest, but nothing to get excited about yet.

Interest rates below 5% the $8,000 tax credit, and increased affordability seem to be the key market factors at this time.

Later in the month we will receive the county wide number from the Mid-Florida Regional MLS. In February we experienced a sharp increase in the number of units sold.

I am looking for another increase in sold units probably in the low to mid single digit percentage range.

The sentiment among buyers has moved from wait and see to a state of action.
