key west house: 3533 Flagler Avenue - Bank Owned - Key West
- 03/23/09 01:45 AM
This distinctive Mid Century house at 3533 Flagler Avenue is bank owned and it has been on the market for quite a while. It was previously listed with a real estate agent in Miami. I've carped about them carpetbaggers before coming down here and listing homes in Key West. They join one of the Monroe County association of Realtors and start to list houses as if one house is like another. Well, it did not sell and it was put in a national auction. It didn't sell there, either. It was recently listed by a local Realtor and this is what … (0 comments)

key west house: Key West House Hunters - Part Two
- 03/16/09 04:11 AM
Did you watch House Hunters last night on HGTV to Cory Held of Preferred Properties show and sell a second home in Key West? If not and you are looking for a place in Key West, try to find it on re-run. It's helpful even if you are not looking in the same price range as the buyers who were willing to spend up to $2 million for a second home. On the program Cory showed her customers three houses. In reality, they looked at about 20. I'm going to share the gritty details on the three houses on the program. … (2 comments)

I really like the … (0 comments)

key west house: 1731 Bahama Drive - Key West
- 03/09/09 04:37 AM
1731 Bahama Drive is located at the far east end of the Island of Key West. It's really far from the crazies that populate so much of Old Town some days. The little enclave of five streets with tropical sounding names is located between Flagler and the mangroves on the north side of the Key West International Airport. I laugh every time I write that name. I'm not quite sure planes go to or come from any international port of call. Most of the houses in this area back onto one of the small canals that eventually feed into the Riviera … (0 comments)

- 02/22/09 12:03 AM
I can tell you one thing for absolute certain about Key West real estate: you either love houses located across the street from the Key West Cemetery or you hate them. So if you are of the latter persuasion, do not read any further. But if you don't mind tombs with a view, read on dear reader. There is a very charming Arts & Crafts style house located at 708 Passover Lane that was just listed at the asking price of $650,000 or $923 per sq. ft.

key west house: January Real Estate Sales in Key West
- 01/31/09 11:46 PM
I've been telling you that sales are picking up in Key West and advising you not to wait too long before you buy. Snoozers are Losers! In January there were ten single family home sales in Key West (including a couple of properties that could be used as legal duplexes). Going either way is common in Key West, I guess. I have written about several of the homes that sold and I gotta tell you, I told you they were bargains to be had. Included were 701 Elizabeth, originally $1,579,000 and sold for $695,000 (Not a Short Sale nor a distress … (0 comments)

key west house: The Road to Recovery
- 01/26/09 08:24 AM
I've mentioned many times that I grew up in one of Denver's suburbs in the 1950's. Life was much slower way back then. I don't have any access to old family photos of driving through the Colorado Rockies in the 1950's. The photo of the antique car isn't back in the 1950's. But it is illustrative of what our lives would be like if Interstate 70 had not been built. During the summers of my youth my parents and I would drive up to the mountains to go fishing. We would either go over Berthoud Pass toward Grand Lake, Loveland Pass … (0 comments)
