Today we’ll take a look at the historic numbers of Golden Eagle Plantation in Tallahassee. This is a golf course neighborhood on the northeast side of Tallahassee that we review on a quarterly basis at the Tallahassee Real Estate Blog, and today is the day. Much like the rest of the Tallahassee real estate market, Golden Eagle is finding a reduction in the number of homes selling now and prices are dropping. The following real estate graphs demonstrate how far sales have receded since the booming market in 2005. See Graphs Depicting Declining Sales In Golden Ealge Plantation

  Once a month we generate the Tallahassee Housing Report and post it for download. This report is very informational as it shows the relative months of supply of homes, by area and price range, in the Tallahassee real estate market. This month we see a continued trend of decreased real inventory (the actual number of single family homes, condos and townhouses currently for sale), but a continued increase in the relative inventory (months supply of homes for sale based upon the current rate of sales) of homes for sale in Tallahassee.

New single family permit and sales activity has been declining in the Tallahassee real estate market since January of 2006. While this is bad news for Tallahassee home builders, it is good news for the stabilization of the Tallahassee housing market. The massive number of new homes that were built in 2004 and 2005 and a major reason that the Tallahassee real estate market continues to suffer from a glut of inventory. As we have discussed often in the past, it is our over-supply of homes for sale that creates the pricing pressure that has caused depreciation in our homes. What this real estate graph shows is that new home permit and sales averages have dropped below 50 per month. Compare that with the 140+ per month average that we were seeing at the height of the production boom in 2005...

For those of you who try to make a living in the real estate industry, you know last year was the worst year on record in the Tallahassee housing market. This next graph shows you we should have known how good we had it last year…. As you can see, our data includes January and February housing information from 1991 through 2009. The red bar is the number of new home sales while the blue is the existing home sales.  Prior to 2008, the record low was just over 500 homes sold in these two months, but this year we are below 300. Ouch! The message one should take from this graph is that buyers are standing on the sidelines right now. The economy has them scared and the housing market has them baffled. If you have to sell a home in Tallahassee, you absolutely have to expose it correctly to th...

I love when we get questions from friends and readers that we can use as the basis of our discussion on the Tallahassee Real Estate Blog. Today, Jeff has a great question that I think a lot of homeowners will find interesting. Jeff’s parents have a house for sale in another town and they received this letter from a local real estate investor. Jeff would like my opinion on the letter, which reads: Hi, Today’s facts in the real estate market: FSBO homeowners will spend, on average, $3500 in the first 90 days of trying to sell their homes. If they later sign with a realtor, they will spend an additional $8500 by the time their home sells, if it does. On top of this, they will have about a 50% chance of selling, probably at around 90% of asking price, if they’re lucky, after their home has ...

Lowe's   Which Do I Choose? Once the type of finish is determined, choose the appropriate solvent, thinner or stripper to get the job done right. If you are applying a finish to an existing finish, the effect of the thinner contained in the new finish will have is to: Dissolve the existing finish. Soften, blister or partially strip and separate from the wood. Prevent bonding based on the base of existing finish (oil or water). Strippers are easier to choose because by law manufacturers are required to list ingredients and their specific uses. It is very important to read the ingredients and manufacturers' specifications before purchasing. The chart below includes oil-based and water-based finishing products:     Finish Solvent Thinner Stripper Water-Based Stain Denatured alcohol Lacquer...

Lowe's   Choosing the right solvent, thinner or stripper for your project can be somewhat confusing, especially if you don't know the type of finish. Many people use the words "solvent" and "thinner" interchangeably, even though they have different meanings. Keep the following in mind when choosing a solvent or thinner: A solvent dissolves a cured finish. A thinner thins a liquid finish. Some substances can be both a solvent and a thinner for a finish. If You Suspect Your Finish Is: Determine By: Wax Put a few drops of turpentine on the wood. If the finish dissolves, it's wax based. Shellac Apply a few drops of denatured alcohol. If the finish dissolves quickly, it's shellac. Lacquer or shellac Try a few drops of lacquer thinner to dissolve. Water-based finish A few drops of Xylene (xyl...

The highest value people receive from a real estate professional is a comprehensive plan. A great agent will interview the client and discover their wants and needs and make a list. The agent's first step in the real estate process is to help guide the client to clarity, priority and focus on what is most beneficial to them. From there, it is time to get real about the situation of the market and cost expense of management and maximum profitability as well as make the educated and best money decisions known to the client.   Next, there is a clear process for buying and selling that ensures top results using specified systems and team approach. A great agent is a magnificent resource for clients in market and product knowledge, marketing systems, negotiating the best deal and allied reso...

Better Homes & Gardens By the Sea Two tones of blue create the feeling of the ocean in this child's room. A wave pattern is a fun take on more traditional wainscot.   Circle Around A little paint and fun embellishments work wonders without permanency. Paintable wooden rings in white pop out on top of a butter yellow wall, though any color combination could add a vibrant touch, even in an apartment or dorm room.   How to Paint Tile Give outdated ceramic tile walls a new look by decoratively painting them in colors you love. Enamel crafts paint (available at crafts stores and discount stores that carry crafts supplies) covers well on most tiles.

Better Homes & Gardens Patches of Paint Any room can take on a contemporary feel with this paint idea. Simply mark off squares and rectangles on the wall and fill each with a colorful paint.   Linen Texture Paint Technique With a simple linen weaver tool, textured linen glaze, and coordinating paint, you can use this technique to reinvent treasured textiles on walls, furniture, doors, and countless other decorative accessories.   Watercolored Wall Color-washed walls bring movement and drama to a room's vertical surfaces. The technique is simple to master and you can layer on as many tones as you like; the more layers you add, the more interesting the finish.

Each year, our complete family plus our children's current boyfriends and girlfriends, participate in an ESPN bracket.  Well, I was smart enough to pick Pittsburgh to win.  Oh well.  My three real teams that I am a fan of: Florida State, Illinois and Mississippi State did not last long.  Maybe there is some bailout I can apply for? Anyway, now more time can be spent on being a Tallahassee real estate agent, helping people buy and sell homes in the Tallahassee area.  March Madness is such a great diversion! So, if you are looking for a Tallahassee Realtor who is a hoops fan you can check me out at my website!  I guess this leaves me rooting for North Carolina...which is difficult for an FSU fan.

I was talking with a Tallahassee REALTOR® yesterday and we were discussing an offer he had just made on a foreclosure offering in Tallahassee. We discussed strategy for making an offer to a bank (the home had been foreclosed upon and was for sale by the bank that held the financing on the home) and how the strategy had to be different than when making an offer to a typical homeowner. Regardless of who is receiving the offer, there is a definite plan one should follow if attaining the property at the best price is the primary goal. Too often, I see buyers and agents alike making amateurish mistakes that end up costing them the home that they wanted to buy. Read the rest of this entry

Better Homes & Gardens   Peacock Blue: Bold Look Designer Celerie Kemble raves over the deep tones of Peacock blue. "The blue hues, from teal to sapphire, are reviving jewel tones and offer a fresh take on navy. If you're after mood, drama, or intimacy, the concentrated color delivers." Designer Celerie Kemble's Color Tip: Peacock blue looks great with a bevy of modern colors -- apricot, orange, pink, red, and yellow -- and loosens up its regalness. For a more subdued look pair it with grays and browns.   Chocolate Brown: Traditional Chic "Chocolate Brown may well be the breakout color of the decade. Once daring, it has emerged as a favorite neutral that's rich and welcoming," says designer Laurie Smith. Here, soft blue and crisp white furniture give this room a classic look. Designer L...
