davie: BROWARD COUNTY, FL. JUNE 2014 HOME SALES & PRICES ON THE RISE - 07/23/14 05:46 AM

* Graph Source: Sun-Sentinel.com
Not surprising to those of us in the business, the Sun-Sentinel newspaper reported today that last month saw a rise in the Broward County, Fl. median home price (half of homes sold for less and half sold for more than the median price). The median rose to $280,000 in June, a 6% increase over the same month last year. The Greater Ft. Lauderdale Realtors board also reported that 1,425 homes were sold, a 5% jump from last year.  While the rise in median price of 6% may seem low compared to last year's 20+% appreciation, it's actually quite healthy;  this lower rate of increase … (1 comments)

If you’re thinking of selling, you have a lot of decisions to make.  Perhaps one of the most important decisions has to do with your choice of list agent.  Following are three important areas relevant to choosing a good list agent that have nothing to do with sales commission:  
Proper Pricing: Listing with a list agent that ‘buys’ a listing, i.e. agrees to list a property at a price well above market, can ultimately cost you dearly.  During the first 3 weeks of a listing, when interest in the property is at its highest, the property should be priced to … (0 comments)

davie: BUY OR RENT A HOUSE IN BROWARD COUNTY, FL. - 05/05/14 09:28 AM

Making the decision to rent or buy a property is often easy.  For those with no savings, unstable employment, impaired credit and/or a preference for mobility, it's clear that renting is the way to go.  However, once the opposite is true, i.e. renters have savings for down payments & closing costs, improved credit, etc., then making the decision to continue to rent or buy becomes more complex. Consumers have to decide if, financially, renting is more advantageous in the short  & long terms. Financial considerations aside, the need for more/less space and/or a particular neighborhood also greatly influences whether a consumer remains a renter or becomes a … (0 comments)

When you work with Buyers, you get a pretty good idea about what they really want...low price, great location, easy commuting, good schools, updated homes, in short, everything! However, successful Buyers are those that  prioritize their needs/wants, intuitively value some features more than others & compromise, as necessary, to get what they deem truly valuable.  Real estate professionals agree that there are certain hidden gems in a home that have the potential to add long term value for a Buyer & may not be reflected in the selling price.  The infographic which follows sums up property features  important to buyers, in order from most to least important (according … (0 comments)
