melbourne florida real estate: When the Fog Clears - 12/11/10 03:01 PM

I took this picture of the Indian River Lagoon in Melbourne FL this morning. It was nearly 10:00 AM and I was heading over to the beachside.  We don't get much fog here and when we do it's unusual to see it linger into the late morning. I wondered if it was going to stay dreary, but it cleared up and turned into a gorgeous day.

melbourne florida real estate: A Crooked Little House or Just a Tear Down? - 12/09/10 06:35 AM

I was driving through the old section of Downtown Eau Gallie in Melbourne yesterday and this old house caught my eye.  It is situated on a street lined with beautiful old historic homes and buildings.  I love the old historic districts, as every house or building seems to have a different story to tell.
I had to stop and turn around to grab the shot.
I couldn't help wonder about the history of this crooked little house. I wondered who built it and what the family was like that was lucky enough to have lived in this charming home. 
Then, … (9 comments)

melbourne florida real estate: Another Beautiful Day in Melbourne Florida - 12/04/10 12:06 PM
This morning when I got up I headed to the Farmers Market
to pick up some fresh produce, my favorite. 
Everything looked so good.  And, the prices were reasonable too.
The Eau Gallie Farmer's Market is open every Saturday
from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM at the corner of
Eau Gallie Blvd and Highland Avenue in Downtown Eau Gallie. 
It is located just a block from the Eau Gallie Pier overlooking the Indian River Lagoon.
 
I couldn't help but think how fortunate we are, here in Melbourne Florida,
on this gorgeous December day. There wasn't a … (9 comments)

melbourne florida real estate: I Don't Have to Sell, I Can Wait - 10/20/10 03:15 AM

I recently went to meet with a seller that has an interest in putting his house up for sale in Melbourne FL. 
I asked him to walk me through the property and tell me what he could, so I would get a better "feel" for the house.  When we finished our tour and sat down at the kitchen table he looked at me and told me that he didn't have to sell. He continued, 'the difference between me and other sellers is that I don't have to sell. I'm not going to give my house away.  I can wait.'

melbourne florida real estate: The Majority of our Buyers are Paying Cash - 10/19/10 03:01 AM
Currently the majority of real estate buyers in Melbourne Florida are paying cash. Is cash still king? 
Does it matter if the buyer is getting a mortgage to purchase a home?  Or does cash make a purchase easier? 
A buyer purchasing a home with a mortgage has to be preapproved for that mortgage. They typically are required to get a termite inspection, most get a home inspection, the house must appraise for the purchase price and a survey of the property boundaries is usually required.  Those buyers have to jump through the hoops that the lender requires of them.  And, today … (13 comments)

melbourne florida real estate: Selling Your Melbourne Florida Home - If You Have to Ask if it Needs to Be Done, Then Do it! - 09/01/10 05:56 AM

Selling your Melbourne Florida home in today's market is different than it was in day's gone by.  Often owners hired an agent, slapped a sign in the yard, with a high price to go with it, hoping someone would come and make an offer.
Well, times have changed, and so has the Melbourne FL real estate market.  Selling a Melbourne FL home can prove to be a daunting task. It takes the perfect combination of the right Real Estate Professional, the right price and a house in tip top condition. Today, buyers are often throwing out low ball offers to … (5 comments)

melbourne florida real estate: A Cold Snap Hits Brevard County - 01/03/10 02:58 AM
I have been keeping my eye on the weather across the nation. I see that many states have areas that are covered in snow. We are hearing of Realtors in other parts of the country that can't show houses because they can't get out of their homes. Lockboxes on homes for sale are full of ice and are frozen shut.  Some real estate markets are slow because buyers are not out looking, due to the inclement weather.

Here in Brevard County we woke up to 40 degree weather this morning.  We brought in our potted plants last night and covered … (13 comments)

melbourne florida real estate: The Promise of So Many New Things Are Yours for the Taking - 01/02/10 03:22 AM

Another new year, and I am thrilled.
I don't know where the time went, but I know that a new year brings with it new ideas, new attitudes, and new beginnings. 
It's an exciting time for all of us.
It's time to leave behind those things that aren't working for us any longer.
It's a time for change. 
It's a time of promise. 
It's a time of hope. 
And, it's a time to look at our lives through a different set of eyes, with a different perspective, with a clearer focus and a more clear set of goals.
It's time … (12 comments)

melbourne florida real estate: Will You Allow A Buyer Early Occupancy on a Property When the Closing is Delayed? - 11/24/09 03:00 AM

Here in Florida typically on the day of closing, the buyer and the seller sit at the closing table and sign their documents. The seller must have their belongings completely out of the property.  And, they must be prepared to hand the keys over to the buyer. 
Customarily, the buyer does a walk through on the property before heading to the closing, to be sure that the house was as he last saw it.  He should be sure that all the appliances and anything extra that was written into the contract is left with the house.  And, obviously he wants … (26 comments)

melbourne florida real estate: Living on A Busy Street - 11/10/09 04:46 AM

Yesterday, I got a call from someone driving by a home that I have for rent. The house is on a busy street.  There's great visibility when it comes to renting it, and it's a great place to have a real estate sign. It's free advertising for me. I get a lot of calls on this house.  But, not everyone wants to live on a busy street. It has a big fenced yard, with beautiful big shade trees.  But, for people with little ones they may be afraid that their kids may run out into the street. That certainly is … (19 comments)

melbourne florida real estate: I Own this Land, I Own the Road and Now I Own You! Welcome to the Neighborhood! - 11/05/09 04:15 AM
Yesterday, I had a first time homebuyer close on their new home. They were tickled. They purchased a cozy house that has been lovingly maintained by the same owner for over 30 years.  They were happy to find an affordable property in an area of well maintained homes.
Prior to closing, the buyers visited the neighborhood and walked the perimeter of the property several times to envision their plans for a garden, picnic area and perhaps a new fence.  They were kindly greeted by the next door neighbor.  He was cheerful in providing his name and his occupation (as he works … (14 comments)

melbourne florida real estate: We're Enjoying the Glorious Weather here on Florida's Space Coast - 10/20/09 11:13 AM

The last couple of days have been glorious. We are experiencing some beautiful, crisp cool weather.  It's been in the 60's in the mornings and has been getting up into the mid 70's during the day.
Now, I know that many are probably wondering what the heck I'm talking about, with crisp cool weather being in the 60's. I must be kidding, right? That's probably warm to some of you.
But, for us here in Florida this little cool snap has been quite a switch for us, as we've been having some hot, humid weather.  I was going swimming in … (11 comments)

melbourne florida real estate: Dates are So Important to a Buyer - 10/14/09 01:29 AM
When selling a home, buyers like to know dates. They like to know how old the roof is, how old the A/C is, how old the appliances are.  Time flies and sometimes these dates slip away from sellers or they feel like they were just yesterday. 
In selling a home it's really important to try and gather all of those important documents to pass along to a buyer or help a prospective buyer in making a decision on a home.  It's great to have a property disclosure in which the seller completes and gives to the buyer.  But, if you have … (13 comments)
