What do fishing and house hunting have in common?

The New Navarre Fishing Pier is Nearing Completion

The nice thing about my office being on the beach is I can take a break and see what is going on. Today I took my camera and took a picture of The new pier.

It's Tuesday and I have already had a busy week I worked with really nice family we found them a bank owned house which was price almost 33% less than the comperable homes. The only thing that was missing was the appliances. It has Granite counter tops security system, huge rooms, fireplace downstairs master suite. I also leased a commercial building and trying to find a short term rental for a new customer.

It took us 3 months to find this Home. We had just made an offer on a short sale and the owner turned us down not even the bank. I had done a CMA and our offer was in line with the previous sale but the owner thought it was worth more than we offered. This family will most likely have built in equity a rarity in today's market. This house was price so low you could not afford to build it for what they where asking.

Some say it is a bad Real Estate market. I say it is nether good nor bad it is what it is. This buyer was smarter he made calculation of what he could afford and we look at properties in his price range and made offers, got turned down but did not get upset. He was like the the barber with a long line on Saturday mornings. "Next"

The Fishing Pier will be open in two months. Fishing has some similarities to home shopping it take preparation, timing, skill and opportunities. If you caught fish every time you went, they would call it catching not fishing.

Good for the home buyers...And I agree, the idea of a good or bad market is all dependent on what side of the table you're on. Congratulation of the fishing pier...sounds like fun.

Jim - Our market was probably really similar in 2010, but as of today it his hot hot hot, we have such a lack of inventory and prices are on the rise.
