real estate: What's Actually Happening with Home Prices Today - 09/14/22 12:12 PM
What's Actually Happening with Home Prices Today?
 
One of the biggest questions people are asking right now is: what’s happening with home prices? There are headlines about ongoing price appreciation, but at the same time, some sellers are reducing the price of their homes. That can feel confusing and makes it more difficult to get a clear picture. Part of the challenge is that it can be hard to understand what experts are saying when the words they use sound similar. Let’s break down the differences among those terms to help clarify what’s actually happening today.
Appreciation is when home prices … (3 comments)

As I’m sure you’ve heard, our residential Florida Keys real estate market has been extremely busy. 
Pending transactions are up tremendously. We’re even on pace to break a record this year; we haven’t seen numbers like this since 2004. This is partially attributable to the fact that everything shut down for a couple of months earlier in the year and created a rush of pent-up demand. Interest rates are also extremely low, which is increasing buyers’ purchasing power.

  
Here’s a quick statistical overview comparing the first nine months of this year to the first … (0 comments)

My promise and heartfelt intentions: We can't go around it, over it, but we can go through it. You need not be shaken or devastated—though you have the right to feel devastated. There are solutions and magnificent opportunities out there; humanity has always been rewarded for the problems we’ve solved and the opportunities we’ve made possible for others.  Our compensations in good times or bad times have always been predicated on our financial contributions and ability to improve others’ quality of life. This has always been the case. There is no shame using adversity benevolently to create newfound, long-term success for ourselves … (2 comments)

real estate: Sellers have had to reduce their expectations of Price - 09/05/19 08:33 AM
The important takeaways concerning the first half of 2019:
While the market in 2019 has certainly outperformed the early prognostications with more sales, higher average sale prices and shorter marketing times, sellers have had to give ground to buyers to achieve those results in terms of their overexuberant expectations.  Over 80% of the entire inventory of properties for sale suffered a price reduction in the first half of 2019 and the depth of those price reductions increased more than 50% over the prior year. 
 
 Sellers have had to reduce their expectations of price in unprecedented numbers to an unprecedented degree to attract a buyer in … (2 comments)

Commitment
Commitment means remaining loyal

or signed the contract.

Commitment is the cornerstone of any relationship, underpinning the connection of two or more individuals in an effort to fulfill a promise or a responsibility, or sometimes both. Commitment gives the depth that a relationship needs to keep both parties moving forward.
Commitment flourishes when people respect and appreciate one another, build a relationship, and celebrate victory together. When people make this kind of commitment, they focus on solutions, not problems, on positivity, not negativity. Getting to this point requires open … (0 comments)
