This spring I spent some time with a great couple from out of state looking for a good deal on a vacation home in Davenport, Florida.
After spending a day or two looking at repossessed homes, listening to the dead batteries beeping in the smoke alarms, viewing homes without air conditioning ( which I tell you, it gets very warm on the second floor), and viewing many pools that reminded me alot of a giant bowls of overcooked pea soup.
Some were just needing a good cleaning and paint, some needed new flooring, most needed appliances, some needed doors, toilet seats, outlet covers, pool pumps. The list goes on and on.
They decided on a 6 bedroom 4 bath pool home that needed someone to bring it back to life.
This vacation home needed a lot but my customers saw through mess in front of them to the bones and what this home could really be.
The new owners of the home have really put a lot of work into this beautiful vacation home in Davenport, Florida. They really are pleased with the end result.
I thought I would share a few photos of the job they have done. I didn't get a picture of the new kitchen but here are a few.

Dining Room
2nd Master Bedroom
Not all repossessed homes need the interior work that this one did. So, please keep mind when viewing homes that are bank owned not only the price but what you will need to do to bring it back to it's orignal beauty.

The last one I open is from the Florida Association of Realtors. The National Association of Realtors announce
Worst is over - home sales to trend up in 2008!!!
"Existing-home sales are projected to trend up in 2008, with pending home sales showing a slight near-term rise, according to the latest forecast by the National Association of Realtors® (NAR)"
Every area has a different trend. I have already seen vacation homes for sale in the lower price ranges starting to sell as well and not many builder inventory homes left.
I know things are changing but do we now need the media to comment as well?
This weekend I have been speaking with a lot of different people about the November 23rd sales.
People waking at 3 am to go shopping, camping out in front of the department store for 2 days, standing in line in the wee hours of the morning in front of the closed store and even waiting over 2 hours in line to pay for thier purchase.
I went out one year on "black Friday" just to see what deals were really out there. Needless to say, I went to one store and them straight home. I am not a shopper. I have my list of items I would like to purchase before I get to the store and I hope to be out just as fast as I went in. Yes, I know, gasp, a female that doesn't like to shop! lol
I was just wondering what kind of deals people received this weekend. Inquiring minds would like to know. So, please share if you stayed home this weekend or went out shopping.
I hope everyone had a wonderful day of Thanksgiving with friends and family. My granddaughter had me tied around here little finger for most of the day.
