A short sale can absolutely be a great deal for buyers.  You can get a tremendous house for the money.  While short sales are oftentimes sold "as is", that isn't really where the problem arises.  No matter how many times you explain to buyers that buying a short sale can be a lengthy process, that could take anywhere from 3-9 months on average, and no matter how many times they say "yes I know", it never fails that they will call you in 48 hours and say... What have you heard?    Why haven't we heard anything yet?     Do they want to sell or not?    I'll Just look for something else! A short sale does not mean short closing time!  Occasionally, you can come in right after another deal has fallen through and the lender could possibly close quicker, say around 3 weeks.  But that isn't the... 01/21/2010

If you have had the wonderful experience of waiting for a month for a dental appointment at Eglin AFB, it seems your prayers are being answered.  It's true, construction has already begun on a new clinic that will help support the base's growing and projected population and expanded mission of the 7th SFG and F35's have fueled the fire for the urgency for the facility, and hopefully it will reduce patient wait times.  The projected completion date for the new clinic is expected sometime around fall next year. Will it really reduce wait times?  Well, there is a strong possibility that it may.  What I'm hearing is that there will be a new two-story 31,000+ sqft building that will be co- located near the existing Hospital (which has also recently received upgrading), and the Fisher House t... 01/21/2010

Wayne Rogers who makes his home in our area of Northwest Florida, better known as Trapper John from the tv series MASH recognizes that it's a great time for real estate. In Florida he is developing a 500-home subdivision, just north of Eglin Air Force Base, which is located in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. He says the property is worth more than he paid three or four years ago. Real estate will always have peaks and valleys.  Five years ago, (doesn't seem like it was that long ago) we saw a real estate boom, or a peak.  But just like with anything else, what goes up... must come down right?  So, the last few years we have been in the valley of real estate.  But the last 100 years show, we never stay in the valley.  And if you are still waiting for the market to hit the bottom, you may not... 12/05/2009

Hmmm, no Christmas bonus this year, so I hope you weren't planning on it.  Each year military retirement pay as well as some civilian government pay is adjusted to meet the increased cost of living. This  Cost-of-Living-Adjustment (COLA) is assessed by comparing the 3rd qtr of one year to the previous year's 3rd qtr Consumer Price Index (CPI).  With COLA's, Social Security & Supplemental Security Income Benefits try to keep pace with inflation.  They realized back in 1973, that some incomes weren't able to keep up with inflation. They do have a formula that calculates it, but I think it might be similiar to the secret FICO score formula honestly. According to The CPI, numbers dipped below 4 percent in the first two quarters of FY2009 and was still in negative numbers at the end of the f... 11/27/2009

The media is full of negativity in real estate, and as soon as there is a glimmer of something positive happening in the industry it is played down in the news at best, and never repeated.  But let it be the reverse, you have to hear it every 15 minutes. The truth is a lot of positive things have happened for homeowners in the last 12 months!  Over 1 Million people took advantage of the First Time Homebuyers Tax Credit.  And the National Association of Realtors was instrumental in making that happen. You hear about what percentage of homes in our 5 largest vacation spots are underwater on their mortgages. Approximately 5.3 million people across have mortgages that are about 20% higher than their homes current value.  Hey, We've still got 45 other States! But guess what?   Most U.S. home... 11/25/2009

All real estate value is based on the concept of "highest and best use." Okaloosa County has a duty to its taxpayers to exercise this principle in relation to the Island Golf Center land in order to increase the county's tax base if the land is sold or to obtain maximum lease payments if it is leased. A wrong-way decision could cost taxpayers millions or even billions of dollars in future real estate tax payments or lease payments. Okaloosa County is not performing its governmental functions if it is not actively soliciting proposals to turn this non-performing asset into a revenue source for county taxpayers. Okaloosa County probably has other non-performing assets that are not of such high value as the subject property, and which would better serve the Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge an... 10/29/2009
