value: 16 Golf Club Drive, Key West - 01/27/16 01:11 AM

 
I found the above old post card online. It depicts players and onlookers at the Key West golf course back during the Depression when the WPA was here capturing bits of everyday life in our little town. The federal government spent a lot of money on make-work projects to keep Key West from going under.  This post card is an example of such work. When I studied the post card I realized how utterly false it was. I mean if you have seen photos of regular Key Westers back in the 1930s they did not look or nor did they dress … (2 comments)

value: 1320 South Street, Key West - Bank Owned Home - 10/10/15 03:30 AM

The newly listed Bank Owned property at 1320 South Street certainly is something to cheer about if you are in the market for a large home located in a superior Key West neighborhood,  This home was built new in 2008 and replaced a much smaller home that previously occupied the 4939 sq ft lot. I dug around and found a photo of the old house. The new place looks nothing like it. The neighborhood as a whole has changed as well. Most, but not all, of the smaller mid-century houses that dot this area have been replaced. The Thompson Estate is … (3 comments)

value: 1400 Virginia Street - A Real Housebuy of Key West - 09/10/15 11:32 PM

 
Today's blog is directed at readers who are looking for the quintessential Key West cottage style home that is priced under a million dollars. 1400 Virginia Street is that special home which I truly believe is a real housebuy! I've previously written about the two neighboring homes that were joined together several years ago to create a very exceptional home.

This home is located across from Bayview Park in the quiet little area often referred to as The Arts District in Key West.  The exterior of the house looks weathered and worn. That's by design. The owner gives the exterior a clear … (0 comments)

Aerial perspective of 42 Kingfisher Lane at the Key West Golf Club I think the Bank Owned unit at 42 King Fisher Lane in the Key West Golf Club Community has got to be the best bargain out there at this time. I have enthusiastically showed this unit a few times. It has a good layout; it is in good condition; it has a very nice view overlooking the golf course; and it is priced to sell. The asking price is only $189,000. CLICK HERE to view the Key West mls datasheet and … (2 comments)

Key West November Sale Report - 2008. That was not a typo. There was one single family home sale inOld Town area Key West in November. It was a cute little house on Southard Street that was listed at $599,000 and sold for $575,000. It has a pool and a great Old Town location. The price per square foot was $765. There are those who say a price that "high" is irrational in today's market. Hooey! There are only a few really cute well located single family homes for sale in Old Town. Now there is one less. I did a … (0 comments)

value: 608 William - Old Town - Key West - 10/22/08 03:07 AM
Just Listed ( but not by me) 608 William Street, Old Town, Key West. I wrote about this house earlier this year when it was priced the same as it is in today's new listing. But there has been a big change. The owner has done some spiffy updating as well to tide the property over until a new owner decides possibly to renovate the property. This is how the listing broker describes 608 William: "The sweetest cottage in the very best Old Town location has just had a fabulous face lift! This circa 1887 conch classic has a wonderful outdoor … (0 comments)

value: Key West Short Sale Opportunities - 10/02/08 04:12 AM
A Short Sale occurs when a property is sold and the lender agrees to accept a discounted payoff, meaning the lender will release the lien that is secured by the property, upon payment of of an amount less than is actually owed. In yesterday's blog I reported that about one-half of the single family home and condo sales in Key West were either short sales or bank foreclosures. Short sales occur when troubled borrowers try to sell the property prior to foreclosure in hopes of salvaging part of their credit worthiness. Many short sales fail but others are succeeding. So I … (0 comments)

The one bedroom one bath cottage is located next door to the famous Five Brothers Grocery and Sandwich Shop in the heart of Old Town. This is a killer location folks. The cottage is small, … (2 comments)

value: Season's Beatings! - 02/29/08 08:57 PM
Season's Beatings! may be a little extreme for a title, but it may help entice you to read about how the Key West real estate market fared so far this Season. Season is 2/3 over. Two months down and one to go. Then the buyers go back up north to live in the smoke and smog until next year. Sure we will continue to have lots of people who come to Key West after Easter (March 23 this year). But those visitors are usually cheap Floridians and or economical European tourists who come to enjoy the great Key West weather at … (0 comments)

value: Don't Say Cheap--Say Inexpensive - 02/22/08 04:49 AM
I have talked with several would-be buyers who think that the economic downturn has not hit bottom. They think prices will continue to fall and that they will be able to buy a second home in Key West at some future date for a lower price than is currently available. They may be right. But they could just as easily be wrong. In an area where you have lots of similarly located, sized, aged, and comparable constructed homes I can understand how market events could cause prices on individual properties to fluctuate. And in locations that are dependent on one business … (2 comments)

value: Present Value - 02/13/08 01:10 AM
Yesterday I wrote about a house at 724 Ashe Street in Key West that I think is a very good value for today's real estate market. It is priced at $999,000. To many price would see very high. But in the context of the specific milieu of Old Town Key West of similarly priced homes, I think the value of 724 Ashe is very apparent. To help prove this point I did a search of the Key West mls database and came up with similarly priced homes in the same area. CLICK HERE to review the list of homes in the … (0 comments)

There were 12 Single Family Home Sales in Key West for the month of January 2008 with a sales volume of $11,838,000. I searched from Mile Marker One through Shark Key. The least expensive property was a 2 bed, 1 bath house listed at $249,000 that sold for $220,000 in 21 days. There were two very expensive homes that sold. One on that I mentioned here several times that was listed $2,995,000 and sold for $2,350,000. (This was not a forced sale.) The other was a Sunset Key home listed at $3,100,000 that sold for $2,850,000. The average home was a … (0 comments)

value: I was a Spudnut Man - 02/02/08 03:17 AM
Remember when you were a kid and you marked your age by half years or even quarter years? I just turned 61, and now I mark my age by decades. But the good side of growing older is all the wisdom that comes with it. My life experiences help me judge the present by things I remember from the past. I grew up in Denver in the 1950s. My mom and dad got married in 1929 and had their first child, my sister, in 1930 and their second, my brother, in 1935. They raised two kids in the Great Depression. My … (0 comments)
