Sales of existing homes and condominiums in Florida rose in December, a positive trend also reported at the close of 2010 as statewide sales activity posted gains over the previous year, according to the latest housing data released by Florida Realtors®. A total of 15,550 existing single-family homes sold statewide in December, up 4 percent from the 14,923 homes sold in December 2009. The statewide existing home median sales price last month was $133,100; in December '09 it was $139,800 for a 5 percent decrease, according to Florida Realtors' data.

We all remember the gloomy dark times we went through in 2009. Not to mention the unclear solutions offered by the federal government to prevent the financial and Real Estate collapse. The outlook right now is a complete contrast of last year. Home sales have risen for several months in a row thanks to the tax credit program establishe by the government. The building of the houses and permits are also up in most cities; and prices are up in most parts of the country. The latest pricing numbers released by the Federal Housing Finance Agency found home values … (1 comments)
My brother and I worked for over 10 year with banks (mortgage lenders) such as Wells Fargo, Washington Mutual and Countrywide and we can tell you that banks have always been in the business to make money. We have always made fun of commercials on T.V. when a bank comes up with all these touching full of warmth advertising depicting themselves to the audience as if they actually had a heart and care for the consumers. Now being in Real Estate trying to help real people with real financial difficulties I realized that somehow I need to share as … (0 comments)

Earlier this year as part of the economic stimulus package, there was a grant offered by the government for up to $8,000, or 10% of the purchase price, and applies to people who have not owned a home in the previous three years. (There are some income restrictions.) The best part: Unlike a similar program from 2008, the credit does not have to be repaid. The bad news: It ends on Dec. 1. Because it usually takes around 90 days to close on a house after a contract is signed, buyers have very little time left to act. As … (0 comments)

I went to a mandatory "Code of Ethics" class a week ago to the RAMB biulding, and one of the speakers posted a question. Who is actually doing what it takes to "Sell" more, "List More" and "Make more Money"?. I was sitting in front of the class so it was kind of difficult to see who else raised their hand other than me. After a few seconds of silence the guy yelled at the classroom pointing at me. Is he the only one being proactive out of almost 60 people in here? I turned around with my hand still … (6 comments)
What if the government were to give every citizen $8,000.00 as a free gift instead of continuing bailing out Wall Street. What would you do with that money? One of the most concerning situations for American families today is debt. Based on a report made by Nilson in 2009, the average credit card debt per household in the US is $8,329.00. So you could definitely pay off your credit card debt with that free money. Another big issue in the country is the lack off health insurance. According to the most current Census Bureau statistics, about 4.5 million Americans … (3 comments)
