homes for sale in fort lauderdale: Florida is Top Choice for International Home Buyers - 10/08/14 03:23 AM
The United States continues to be a place where international buyers are interested in owning property in Florida and international home sales are at their second highest level, even though they have declined this year.

This number is lower than the year before, and it is believed this decrease of $14 billion is attributed to economic slowdowns in foreign countries, the exchange rates, slim real estate choices and strict U.S credit standards.

Immigrants make up 49 percent of all international sales in the U.S, and our tight credit … (1 comments)

I have always known that Florida was one of the main ports in the US for cruiselines, but did not know they have endured the past years of recession!   Not to mention the recent scandalous accidents involving some major cruiselines.  Like Homes for Sale in the Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach area, cruiselines' business in Florida has striven despite the crisis. 
 
In a recent article from the South Florida Business Journal, it was reported that the number of people within the US going on cruise trips decreased for the first time last year, however Florida has remained a powerhouse, having even increased 1.3% to over 6 … (1 comments)

What is a Seller’s market?
 
The amount of new homes for sale in Weston, Florida (as an example), is declining. In all regions nationally, the number of listed homes is decreasing. 
This phenomenon is leaving people in the market for new homes struggling to find any. Prices also reflect the dwindling amount of real estate left, and are rising, and if it shrinkage keeps, they will continue to rise. This causes, what we call, a Seller’s market.

homes for sale in fort lauderdale: Read this before submitting an offer to buy a house! - 09/15/14 01:00 AM
Everybody thinks that looking for and finally finding the perfect house is the hardest part of the home buying process.   I would say that it’s the most important part, but still putting an offer on a home requires experience and a lot of work, if you really want the process to run smoothly. 
 
 
My first advice is:  ALWAYS USE A REALTOR when buying a home.  It will not cost you anything and you will be well represented.  Many people think that by not using a Realtor, they can get a better deal.  THIS IS ABSOLUTELY WRONG.  All you will … (1 comments)
