tallahassee real estate market information: I Bet You've Never Seen A School Zone Report Like This! - 05/26/11 01:09 AM

Are home values affected by the school zones in which they reside? Who’s to day, but today’s blog post will take a look at home values by school zone. This information has been pulled from the Tallahassee MLS and I will start with a caveat that the information is often sketchy at best. Real estate agents enter their listings in the multiple listing service as a means to promote the property to other real estate agents, and the information that is provided is not checked for accuracy.
I have included links to the maps of each school zone in the appropriate … (6 comments)

tallahassee real estate market information: Understanding Real Estate Market Cycles - 07/29/08 12:26 AM

Today’s blog is going to be an update on the inventory of homes in the Tallahassee real estate market. I want to remind the readers that this information can be found, updated twice per week, on our Tallahassee Real Estate Web site at http://www.manausa.com/market.php.
The key to figuring out the market is understanding the cycles that we must endure. From the graphic below, we can see that we spent the past two years stuck between Point A and Point B. Prices have risen and we were seeing our inventory grow. This was in part due to over-building, but primarily due to … (0 comments)

tallahassee real estate market information: Looking At Values By School Zone - 11/07/07 12:49 AM

Have you ever considered moving to a new school zone for your children, but did not know what the average price of a home in that zone would cost? Well, if you have, than today's blog will be perfect for you. I charted home sales in the Tallahassee Real Estate Market by school zone. I have them separated by High School, Middle School and Elementary School. There were so many Elementary Schools that I broke them down to 2 different charts.
We can see that if the highest average price for a home was in the Chiles High School zone, while the … (54 comments)

tallahassee real estate market information: Who Is Educating Your Customers? - 10/21/07 11:39 PM

BEWARE OF THE MEDIA!
Are you confused about where the market is heading? Well, if you are confused, then you can be sure that your customer is confused. It is logical to expect that your customer's opinion of the housing market is greatly influenced by what the media is declaring (either locally OR nationally).
As I was doing market research this week end, I decided to look on CNN.com to see what they were saying about the National Real Estate Forecast. This is CNN.com's front page of their Real Estate sections.
As I read through the articles, something curious jumped out at me … (73 comments)

tallahassee real estate market information: See, It Isn't That Bad - 09/23/07 11:07 PM

With all the concern over the real estate market, I decided to do some research in the Tallahassee Board of Realtors Multiple Listing Service (MLS). I created a table for Leon County, by price range, and showed how we are doing this year versus every other year since 2000, for the months of January through August.
I pulled data from all sales of residential properties (Single Family Detached, Condominiums, and Townhouses). The numbers in red indicate where we are doing worse this year, while the numbers in black indicate where we are doing better.

From the table above, one can … (61 comments)

tallahassee real estate market information: The Charts "Show" What The Numbers Might Hide - 09/18/07 11:22 PM

Every month I like to take a look at all the Subdivisions in Leon County, Florida to determine inventory levels as well as price levels. Sometimes, we can chart out information and see what is going on in the Tallahassee Real Estate Market much more clearly than we can with just numerical data.
For example, I was wondering which Subdivisions in Tallahassee had the most homes on the market and I came across two interesting graphs. The first graph of Leon County Subdivisions shows the supply of homes in the Tallahassee Real Estate Market (Months of Supply). The Subdivisions in Red have significantly … (59 comments)

tallahassee real estate market information: Great Excel Tip - 09/06/07 08:59 PM

Don't you just hate it when you are trying to create a chart in Microsoft Excel and some of your data totally obscures the rest of it? The purpose of this post is to show you how I created a chart, showing how My Company Web Site has had more visitors than our competition.So, How do you do it? First, you graph the information as you want it. Then, by doing a series of copy and pastes, you will be able to make all data sets semi-transparent, allowing the viewer to see all (as in the image above). So, here are … (63 comments)

tallahassee real estate market information: Afternoon's are Crazy! - 09/05/07 03:24 AM

OK, so I figured it was time to meet with my GM and talk about strategies to get our Tallahassee Real Estate Company moving along faster. We met in our normal fashion and came up with some good ideas.

First of all, we need to acknowledge that, while this is a normal market cycle, we cannot just bury our heads and hope that it changes on its own.
As a matter of fact, it is imperative that we know where are heads are at all times!

We feel that the news, the market, the "buzz", the Board, and all the other "the's" in our world are … (59 comments)

tallahassee real estate market information: Tallahassee Real Estate Market (Top End Heavy!) - 08/22/07 08:42 PM

A friend of mine called to tell me he needed to sell a home in Tallahassee (which is great, that is what I do for a living!). Because he has a rather large home that will tilt the scales on price range, I decided to do a very comprehensive study on the Tallahassee Real Estate Market and our current supply of homes.
What I found is what most Tallahassee Real Estate Professionals already know. Inventory is at a ten-year high. Ouch! I examined all single family detached homes, both for sale now as well as those that had sold over the … (51 comments)

tallahassee real estate market information: Do the Open House "Tallahassee Four-Step" and Win! - 08/15/07 02:09 AM

Four Steps To Success (With Open Houses)

This past Sunday I had my Quality Service Manager tour the houses that agents from my office held open. This is something that the management at Century 21 First Realty does for a few reasons: to support Our Great Agents in the field, to get a good feel for how Our Company is being represented and finally to further the training of our new agents and help our veteran agents brush up on old skills.

While it is very important to set up the Open House properly - Directional Signs with balloons, command center in the … (57 comments)

tallahassee real estate market information: Tallahassee Real Estate Training - Week Three August '07 - 08/13/07 12:35 AM

The highs and lows of a sales career can by trying to say the least. It is important to re-evaluate your goals periodically and to remind yourself WHY you chose real estate as a career. True inspiration and motivation is hard to come by. I find that the most inspiring stories are those that involve an individual that has overcome extreme obstacles to accomplish their goals.
Part of the goal setting process is identifying "obstacles" to success. What are your obstacles? What is keeping you from reaching your goals? Come see me to help brainstorm ideas around your obstacles. I will be teaching a … (50 comments)

tallahassee real estate market information: Good News for Tallahassee MultiFamily? - 07/26/07 02:15 AM

Good news may be around the corner for multifamily real estate investors who have seen their rate of return shrink by the one-two punch of property taxes and insurance costs. Insurance companies have become increasingly reluctant to continue underwriting a large number of Florida policies or at a minimum drop various types of coverage. Citizens insurance company, the State run last resort provider is not a cheap alternative although it does provide coverage where others won't. As a result, many apartment owners have been forced to carry multiple policies to cover various risks at an ever increasing cost. Other investors, depending … (75 comments)
