I’m in Orlando this week attending the Florida Realtor’s Mid-Winter Business Meetings and the one recurring topic of many of our seminars and briefings is updating us on various aspects of the Federal Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 in general and its impact on Florida in particular. On ...

Like much of the rest of the nation, Old Man Winter flexed his muscles along the coast these past few days, slamming temps down into the twenties for a couple of days. Luckily we’ve already warmed back up into the 60’s where we should be for this time of year. Realtors adapted the mailman’s ...

I hope you had a wonderful holiday season.  Like most of the rest of the nation, it’s been an unseasonably cold week here, but at least the sunshine has returned even if the mercury seems stuck on low. We started off the new year at a good pace, managing four ...

There was a little let-up in Christmas shopping  along the coast this week as we rang up just one sale and three new contracts, opened four new listings (two of which are already under contract) and lowered the prices on three properties.

Old Man Winter served up a quick free sample this week sending us a taste of chilly weather, but try as he might, he couldn’t chill our red-hot real estate market as we closed seven sales and wrote up six new contracts. Sellers offered up eleven new listings and marked down four others. With ...

Real estate shoppers really got into the spirit of Black Friday and Cyber Monday and shopped ’til they dropped this week here along the coast, turning in quite an impressive return with three sales and ten new contracts! Sellers listed seven new properties and changed prices on four others. All those new contracts helped ...

    I hope everyone had a pleasant Thanksgiving with family and friends, plenty of good eats and thankful reflection.  Even with the abbreviated holiday work-week, buyers still took time to gobble up some tasty deals, closing four sales, and penning two new contracts. Sellers added eleven new listings, and changed prices on five others. Our inventory ...

Buyers were apparently busy making holiday travel plans as we had a pretty quiet week, closing three sales, but writing only one new contract. Sellers were a bit more active, listing five new properties and changing prices on four others. As you would expect with all those new listings and ...

Old Man Winter may have made a token appearance this week with temps dipping down into the 40’s for a couple of days, but it certainly wasn’t enough to cool our market off as we managed to close another four sales and buyers penned four new contracts.  Sellers added seven new listings and changed prices ...
