  • You Can Sell for the Right Price

    People who price their homes to today's market are selling them in a reasonable amount of time, but people who cling to 2004 or 2005 prices are not. You must take into account (bank-owned  and short sale properties) pressures and realize they do have an impact on the value of your home. If you price your home to look attractive in today's market, you should sell pretty quickly.

    Orlando is a market where foreclosures have a strong influence.

  • BETTER THAN PEPPER SPRAY!

    I received this info in an email and I think it is definitely woth passing along:

     WASP SPRAY
      
      A friend who is a receptionist in a church in a high risk area was concerned about someone coming into the office on Monday to rob them when they were counting the collection.  She asked the local police department about using pepper spray and they recommended to her that she get a can of wasp spray instead.
     
      The wasp spray, they told her, can shoot up to twenty feet away and is a lot more accurate, while with the pepper spray, they have to get too close to you and could overpower you. The wasp spray temporarily blinds an attacker until they get to the hospital for an antidote. She keeps a can on her desk in the office and it doesn't attract attention from people like a can of pepper spray would. She also keeps one nearby at home for home protection.

    You could also keep some handy when hiking (a lot cheaper than bear spray) or in your bedside table drawer. Just be careful to keep away from small children's reach.

  • Property Taxes Up Again! You've Got to be Kidding Me!

    Many of us just received our notice of proposed taxes and assessments for our homes in the mail. Why am I not surprised? Market value is down according to the Orange County Property Appraisers office by 18% from last year yet the assessed value (the taxable value) is UP. How do they get away with this? Well because under Save Our Homes they are allowed to raise the assessed value up to 3% a year even though people are hurting financially, and  unemployment is a huge problem. This is because the assessed value is still way below the market value.

    I'm sorry but I think it is unreasonable and mean spirited to raise taxes during an economic recession. They should be lowering our bills; not raising them! I think each and every one of us should complain to the Property Appraiser's office. Their phone number is 407 836-5044.  

    Sorry if I sound irritated but I AM!

     

  • Time to Buy???

    It is definitely time to buy; especially in the lower price ranges. My opinion only, but we may be past the bottom price wise. Finally, inventory supply in the lower price ranges is at a comfortable level. In the $200,000 to $250,000 price range there is a 7 month supply of inventory on the market in Orange and Seminole Counties. That with low interest rates and the $8,000 first time buyer credit the only issue may be finding an available home you like. If you are sitting on the fence, GET OUT THERE AND BUY! CALL ME OR EMAIL ME NOW!  I would love to help you.

  • ARE APPRAISERS DIMINISHING PRICES?

    It seems as though the real market place and the law of supply and demand mean little in setting value in today's real estate market. Informed buyers and sellers can agree on a fair market price which is vetoed by appraisers using "comparable sales" that are questionable because they are not really comparable when setting values. How can the market in the upper price ranges go anywhere but down???? I believe lenders are fearful that pricing will continue to decline and because the appraisals are so conservative what they prophesy comes true. How can pricing ever recover the way the system currently operates???
