Question:  What is a Vacation Rental?  Answer: Vacation Rental is a term used to describe a home, condominium or apartment being offered for short term rental use as an alternative to a hotel or timeshare. Among the many benefits of Vacation Rentals comes privacy, cost savings, space and offerings. Travelers easily see the cost benefit of a Vacation Rental versus a Hotel, and they can easily determine how many bedrooms they will need but what else do you need to know?  Here is my top ten list of questions you want to ask about your Vacation Rental if you are among the multitude of travelers who are making plans to visit the Florida Keys this year and Vacation Rentals are all new to you! 1.  Tell me about the neighbors and tell me about the neighborhood It should be most important to sel... 09/22/2010

Buying or selling a home in Tranquility Bay in the Florida Keys? You need to see the market details and you need to know the price the market has set for SALES prices for these units. Supply and demand set the market values, not the sellers and not what the sellers paid for these units in 2005 which was $550,000 to $900,000. Unfortunately this is not 2005 and those units, in the current economy, are not going to sell for $550-$900,000. And now for some shameless self-promotion..... Here is some information you need to know: There are way more sellers that want to sell than buyers that want to buy in Tranquility Bay 17 units are currently actively for sale In the last year only one active listing sold At the current rate it will take 17 years to sell those units Kelly Willey at Coco Plum... 09/14/2010
