pinecrest: Pinecrest Farmer's Market Opens for 2011 - 11/07/10 04:05 PM
Pinecrest Farmer's Market at the Pinecrest Gardens
What an absolutely gorgeous day for the opening of the Pinecrest Farmer's Market at the Pinecrest Gardens! I woke up and it was a breezy 52 degrees, and when I arrived at the Farmer's Market, it was 62 degrees. And the location has changed this year. The market is at the back of the parking lot, in the shade! And it's much larger. The Market Company has done a phenomenal job of creating a true farmer's market! You could be anywhere USA!
Here are some of the things that caught my eye today.

pinecrest: Pinecrest, Florida Market Data April 2010-Sept. 2010 - 10/15/10 10:14 AM
Pinecrest Sales Data for past 6 months.
It's that time of year for data for the last 6 months. Although it might seem that we have no seasons here in Pinecrest, our selling season is highest in the "Spring/Summer", which corresponds to typical selling seasons throughout the country.
You'll see the most homes sold in early Spring with a drop starting in September. We should see this drop continuing through January of 2011. The amount of sales this year is slightly down from last year. I believe this shows a stabilization of our marketplace. These graphs do not include any REO … (2 comments)

pinecrest: Dog Park in Pinecrest, Florida - 09/02/10 10:16 AM
It's looking very good that The Village of Pinecrest will finally have a dog park. The Village of Palmetto Bay, a much younger municipality, has had a dog park for a couple of years now and it's a big draw for families with their kids and dogs. It's only appropieate that the residents of Pinecrest have one too.
On Sept. 14th, the Village Council will have its last meeting to discuss the issue. The park would be located at Veterans Wayside Park on US 1. I think it's a perfect location for a dog park.
Presently it's a park that is rarely visited. I … (0 comments)

pinecrest: Congress extends homebuyer tax credit and flood insurance - 07/01/10 10:17 AM
The U.S. Senate passed two bills last evening previously passed by the House. Both bills still need President Obama's signature to become law, but that's expected to happen quickly.Homebuyer tax credit The Senate passed HR 5623, which extends the mandatory closing date to qualify for the homebuyer tax credit. The contract deadline does not change - homebuyers must have a contract signed by April 30, 2010 (an exception for active duty military) - but the previous closing deadline of June 30, 2010, has been extended to Sept. 30, 2010. The National Association of Realtors estimates that the approved bill will benefit … (2 comments)

pinecrest: Florida’s Portability Exemption or “Moving Up” - 05/01/09 03:33 PM
An Explanation of Florida’s Property Tax Portability Exemption The other night some friends were wondering aloud how they could afford to move into a nice condo and sell their home in Pinecrest. They assumed that since they had lived in their home so long and their tax base was so low because of the Save Our Homes ammendment, that the taxes on a new purchase would make the new move just too expensive. So we started to talk about the Florida Portability Exemption. I don't think I explained it to well as I should have as I was rusty on the … (0 comments)

pinecrest: February 09 Real Estate Market Report for Pinecrest, Florida - 03/07/09 02:28 PM
Thank you to Miamism for the idea of breaking down the market updates monthly.
Mortgage rates are slightly up this week, to 5.15%. Freddie Mac chief economist Frank Nothaft said mortgage rates followed a rise in bond yields after the Commerce Department reported that gross domestic product plunged in the fourth quarter of 2008 at an annual rate of 6.2 percent, the worst showing in a quarter-century.

pinecrest: Absorption Rate of Homes in Pinecrest, Fl, Part 2 - 02/14/09 08:42 AM
Absorption Rate in Pinecrest, Fl East of Ludlam Road As a mentioned in Part 1 of my post concerning the Absorption rate of homes in Pinecrest, Fl, the term absorption rate considers dividing the current number of homes for sale by the rate at which they have been selling. This will in turn help you understand how the inventory of homes on the market affects the sale prices in the Pinecrest Real Estate market. The longer the absorption rate, the longer it takes for a home to sell.
This post will show us the absorption rate of homes East of SW 67 … (1 comments)

pinecrest: Pinecrest - What You Get for the Money - 01/18/09 04:27 PM
Monday, January 19, 2009 Part I: What You Get for the Money: $500,000-$550,000 I am always browsing real estate blogs. Yesterday I was browsing and stumbled across Anne Rain’s blog series "What You Get for the Money". I loved the idea and thought that I too would try this type of series, which she based off the HGTV's show, "What You Get for the Money". Maybe you’re familiar with it. If not, it compares three different cities across the nation and shows what type of home you can get in various price points. It's a great way to show different property … (1 comments)

pinecrest: Pinecrest, Florida Farmer’s Market Opened Today - 01/11/09 12:17 PM
A truly wonderful winter tradition in Pinecrest is the Pinecrest Gardner’s Farmers Market located at 8287 SW 124 Street. It has grown substantially through the years and now fills the entire parking lot of Gardner’s Market. I believe the Farmers Market is now organized by the Market Company, which is a special events and farmers market production company. If this is so, it was a terrific addition. Open every Sunday through mid-April, a variety of venders sell vegetables, fruits, plants, orchids, oils, herbs, jams, salsas and baked goods. Bee Heaven Farm~Pikarco, occupies the west side of the parking lot selling only … (2 comments)
