It feels like spring is in the air here in St Augustine Florida, even though it is just the beginning  of February. Home Depot is busier than ever with residents starting their Spring projects early this year. Homeowners should estimate the potential change in the value of their real estate versus the cost of specific changes before performing any work. Some upgrades are more advantageous than others in elevating a home’s value. Below is information on St Augustine Florida home repairs that increase home values.
Recommendations on St Augustine Florida Home Repairs That Increase Home Values
Home owners often hope to regain the entire amount of money spent on repairs when they go to sell their property. This is a natural tendency, but unfortunately, it is not supported by what is seen in the marketplace. Different home repairs add different value to a property, and that increased value can vary in different parts of the country. To give you an overview on home repairs that increase home values, below are some national figures.

Analyzing Home Repairs That Increase Home Values
Another factor contributing to the value of repairs is whether it is a mid-range or up-scale renovation. Kitchen repairs, for example, can be performed on the low end or the high end and each will lead to a different figure. So, not only should you consider the type of repair but also the amount of money to spend.

St. Augustine and St. Johns County 24 Hr. Market Report for January 5, 2005 shows that there were 18 homes with price adjustments. It appears that the Sellers are understanding that even in the active St. Augustine real estate market, the correct list price is vitally important.
Nearly 25 homes were re-listed in the last 24 hours, catching up the large end of year expired listings.

St. Augustine, St. Johns County 24 Hr. Market Report for January 2, 2012 shows quite a few of the end of the year expired listings have been renewed. Which leads me to think that agents that were out listing new homes yesterday, forgot to renew their expiring December listings!
Not surprising at all that there were no closings during this 24 hour period as it was New Year's Day.

Who Said REALTORS Don't Work on Holidays? Certainly not here in St. Augustine, Florida! Here is a recap of the the St. Johns County Market Activity for the last 24 hours.
It looks like the end of the year expired homes continue. It will be interesting to see if we will see these homes re-listed in MLS starting tomorrow.
Happy New Year to one and all!

Recently I've noticed A LOT of 3rd party advertising in the replies of some of the post's I've been reading. Frankly, it pisses me off.
So, I have reported a concern each time I've read them.
I was just checking my points (cause I have a friendly competition going) and noticed that I got 10 points for each reported concern.
Thanks you Active Rain for rewarding good behavior! I hope that you kick out those who are advertising sneakers, purses, watches and other irrelevancy.

Will you be near St. Augustine Beach this evening? Tonight is the night --- the annual Beach Blast Off - I was there for the first one, serving beer under the Budweiser tent. (boy it was steady business!)
My friend Maxine will be in the dunk tank from 5 - 6, you HAVE to come and get knock her in!
FIREWORKS, Food, Chili, Beer, music and FUN - see the details in Clay's post below. Hope to see you at the St. Augustine Beach Blast Off tonight!
Via Clay R. Seay (Watson Realty Corp., Inc.):
Beach Blast Off brings in 2012 in St. Augustine Beach, FL. The 6th Annual Beach Blast Off celebrations will be held on December 31, 2011 at St. Augustine Beach, FL . The event takes place at the St. Johns County Fishing Pier and Pavilion.
Beach Blast Off 2011 will offer six hours of activities starting at 4 p.m. with a competitive Chili Cook-off among more than a dozen local restaurants. There will be an ice carving demonstration by the Culinary Institute student chefs use chainsaws and lots of family friendly activities including a Kids Zone with bounce house, face painting and even pony rides. Entertainment will include local bands, a dance party in the Pavilion after the fireworks and local vendor tents offering arts, crafts and food other than Chili.
The breathtaking fireworks display will start at 8:30 p.m. It is synchronized with music and will last approximately 20 minutes. Admission to the Fireworks Show and the Beach Blast Off is free, but beer, sodas & food as well as any vendor shop items must be paid for. Tickets are $1 each for Chili samples. Free Satellite parking and shuttles are available in several locations.
All the net proceeds of the Beach Blast Off go back into the community of St. Augustine Beach. Past proceeds have helped fund “Splash Park at The Pier” and the “Veteran’s Memorial at Lakeside Park”. This year’s funds will also go towards improving and updating the Splash Park area with more water features to the park.
Last year’s winners of the Chili Cook-Off were:
First Place: Sunset Grille
Second place: -- Fratelli's
Third -- Paula's Beachside Grill
The People's Choice awards were:
First place: Fratelli'
Second Place:Panama Hattie’s
Third place: South Beach Grill.
Mango Mango's won the best decorated booth.
So join the fun at the 2011 Beach Blast Off and celebrate the changing of the calendar to 2012. Please enjoy a safe Holiday Season. Call me if you are thinking of making St. Augustine Beach you home in 2012.
