- 07/10/12 04:42 AM
Just listed, but not by me, 920 Fleming Street in Old Town Key West. The Monroe County Property Appraiser says this grand old house was built circa 1906. I found the black and white photo taken just about fifty years ago.
And just above is 920 Fleming Street as it appears today. That's the nifty thing about living in a town like Key West which values its old homes and works to preserve and keep them as things of beauty.
The listing Realtor describes the new listing this way:

4125 Eagle Avenue - Key West
Just listed by Preferred Properties, but not by me, 4125 Eagle Avenue on the sunrise side of Key West. I know most of my readers will only consider buying a place in Old Town. Some will consider the Meadows and Casa Marina areas. And a few bargain buyers know the best values on a per square foot basis are homes at the Key West golf club.

key west real estate blog: Key West Mid-Year Sales Report
- 07/01/12 02:28 AM
I did a quick search of the residential real estate sales in the Key West area for the first six months of 2012. The sales area I used was from Mile Marker 0 (Old Town at Mallory Square) to Shark Key. I excluded Big Coppit sales as I do not think they represent the Key West market. A total of 138 single family homes sold in this area at a median price of $670,850 or $374 per sq ft. During the same time period in 2011, a total of 139 single family homes sold at at the median price of … (0 comments)

707 Southard Street - Key West, Florida
This special little home at 707 Southard Street is located in the heart of Old Town Key West and is back on the market. (It's been on and off a couple of times since it was listed this spring.) You can't beat the location for convenience. Most of the neighboring homes are equally charming and certainly much pricier. The asking price will fit the budget of many buyers who want a simple getaway place: asking $565,000.

1958 Plymouth Belvedere that looks identical to my first car
Regrets, I've had a few. I have learned you do not get many 'do overs' and that the choices you make can be the harbingers of your future. Take for instance my first car - a green 1958 Plymouth Belvedere. It wasn't my first choice to be my first car. It was what I could afford.
But before I bought the Plymouth, my dad and I went to the used car lot at Luby Chevrolet in downtown Denver in the winter of 1964. The dealership actually was located on some … (5 comments)

Locals woke up this morning to the news of the sale of the 400 to 408 block of Duval Street as being sold for a whopping $19,130,000.

Just listed, but not by me, 413 Frances Street in Old Town Key West. When you enter the front doorway your eyes are immediately drawn to the Dade County Pine walls and stairway to the second floor by the sign over the stairway entrance that reads "Welcome To Paradise". This house is the embodiment of what would-be home buyers dream of in a Key West house. The Dade County Pine is a given. The almost rustic appearance is intentional. The lack of some finishes was an artistic choice and not an excuse to finish something. (The owner has meticulous records … (1 comments)

The house at 618 Petronia Street is worth looking at if you are a budget shopper looking for a perfectly livable house that can be moved into the day you close but that could be upgraded and improved upon as well. That house has been on the market for quite some time. I have told buyers that found it that I thought the property was 'over-priced' and we never looked. A new Realtor recently listed the property at a new and much more realistic asking price of $474,900. I showed … (0 comments)
