    Take the Survey! 30A Radio Real Estate Round Up Market Survey

    Most buyers I am working with are true end users or long term investors. With that in mind, the most obvious reason is why would someone buy a lot and build when there is more than enough finished inventory available at an equal or better price point? Currently...most buyers (not all of them)...

    Take the Survey! 30A Radio Real Estate Round Up Market Survey

    Excellent points. The market is far from being "up". However, if you look at every market across the nation, the places that have had the biggest drop in median sales price have had the largest increase in sales transactions. All this means is that there is demand at that price level. If month...

    You are absolutely correct with your assessment. Sales transactions are increasing in some categories. Dollar volume and median price are still declining. This is the beginning of the shift. If we were seeing a decrease in the number of sales transactions AND prices were decreasing it would mean...

    Real Estate Resource for Buyers

    That is a great question. First this information is for information purposes only and if you are facing foreclosure you should consult with your attorney and accountant. In my opinion Short sales and mortgage modifications are better alternatives than a foreclosure for the following reasons: 1...

    Real Estate Resource for Buyers

    It depends on how you define a success rate...buyer versus seller. A successful short sell for the seller is to have the short sale go thru and prevent foreclosure. Our team has a success rate of over 90% with all short sales we negotiate. If the buyer is willing to work through the process...

    Unwinding the Data, A Look at Foreclosures Nationally for the First Quarter 2009

    I thought this would be of interest...I do not post much on Sowal. Mostly on my Twitter feed and blog. I get asked every day when we are going to see the bottom of the market and how foreclosures and short sales are affecting prices. Predicting the bottom of the market is a very difficult...

    Driver Pulls Gun on Cyclists This Morning

    I used to live in an area with a miles of those trails too. Used to rollerblade them frequently. Rode my bike on the narrow trails too. You could go miles without having to cross a road or encounter a car. It was great for families. Unfortunately, our trails are not conducive to anything more...

    Driver Pulls Gun on Cyclists This Morning

    I actually recommended community service putting up "share the road signs" on 30a and some time riding a bike on the bike path and on 30a...just to get a feel for it. Who knows maybe he could be the next US Masters National Champion. Stranger things have happened. :D Oh...and losing his...

    Driver Pulls Gun on Cyclists This Morning

    Whoa Florida Girl! First of all, I am a local and not a tourist. I was riding my bike for leasure at 25mph at the time. If you have noticed, bicycle riding is a sport and people do ride them for enjoyment and not just as a means of transportation. The "bike path" is actually a multi-use path...

    Driver Pulls Gun on Cyclists This Morning

    This morning at 6:30am I was riding my bike with three friends down 30-a heading west. There were absolutely no cars on the road and we were passing through WaterSound where they have the medians in the middle of the road. A mid-sized pick-up truck honked and then violently swerved around us...

    as if the multi-use paths weren't confusing enough...

    That is too funny...but actually scary true. I have had people try to run me off the road. I have had things thrown at me. I have had people scream at me at 5:30 in the morning coming down 83 yell at me to get off the road on 30-A. I have had on of my subconstractors try running me off the road...

    2008 Cottages for Kids Meeting - 6/4/08 at Rosemary Beach

    The prices range of the cottages was fairly broad and offered many good options for everyone last year.
