More Buyers, Sellers Factor in Climate Change: While a majority of respondents expressed skepticism about moving to risky areas, however, a lot of people still move there. That concern about risk is often offset by relatively affordable homes and/or access to warm weather and the outdoors. Yes, Florida is susceptible to hurricanes, but there is no place I would rather live. If you’re considering the sunshine state, take a look at Brevard County, FL.

Cape Canaveral, a sliver of a barrier island along Florida's aptly named Space Coast. Famously home to NASA's launch HQ—along with one of the busiest cruise ports in the country—the beach town has attracted a steady stream of rocket enthusiasts since the dawn of the Apollo missions. (With the highly anticipated launch of NASA's Mars Exploration rover next summer, 2020 will be no different.) (Whoops!

"While overall foreclosure activity is down nationwide, there are still parts of the country that we need to keep a close eye on," said Todd Teta, chief product officer at ATTOM Data Solutions. "For instance, Florida is seeing a steady annual increase in total foreclosure activity for the 8th consecutive month, which is being sustained by a constant annual double-digit increase in foreclosure starts." Wondering about short sales? I recently closed a short sale, that took forever to close with a lender that was quite difficult with the process.

Mastering the art of negotiation is a skill that comes with years of knowledge and experience. I chose this post by David Harts because it really does cover the many aspects of negotiating a successful real estate transaction. Even though David is in anther state, the information he provides applies to selling property on the Florida Space Coast.

 

Me, I believe negotiating for a win/win works well with most real estate transactions. When both buyers and sellers are happy with finalizing an executed contract, chances are you'll arrive to a smooth closing.

Pulled this one out of the archives, but the info is timeless when it comes to buying real estate. Realtor.com said, way back in 2015, "Before making an offer on that picture-perfect home, take a look at the surrounding houses. If they're all in disrepair—or just obviously less nice than the one you’re considering—you might be buying the most expensive house in the neighborhood."

 

I have been on the listing Realtor on selling side with the most expensive home in the neighborhood. The sellers over improved and then wanted to recoup the money the spent. It was a bitter pill for them to swallow and required  evidence with data and lots of consoling to price their home to sell in a reasonable amount of time.

Check out this one third acre, vacant lot located in Milford Point on Merritt Island, FL. This deep water canal with no obstructions has easy access to the locks leading to the ocean.

Voters next year could be asked to expand Florida's homestead property-tax exemption under a measure introduced Wednesday in the House that quickly drew objections from local governments.

To assess whether home prices are over- or undervalued, Local Market Monitor crunches local income and housing data to come up with an “Income Price,” which represents what the average home price for a particular market would be without distortions in the market (such as the recent housing crash, or heavy investor speculation). The idea is that there’s a relatively stable relationship between local home prices and local salaries; investors who buy when homes are priced below the Income Price are more likely to make a good return.

Agi Anderson, the Florida Property Diva and the curator of Space Coast Real Estate Scoops, recently sold a home in Cocoa Beach. Agi sent the seller an RPR Value Report from the local multiple listing service that stated $325,000 as the value. The seller was somewhat shocked because the Zestimate she checked on Zillow showed $386,000 as the value.

 

The problem is, owners believe that the Zestimate is accurate and it takes considerable persuasion to get them back to reality of what the true value is for their property.

 

Zillow CEO Spencer Rascoff may have recently given real estate agents like Agi a gift they won’t soon forget: a sure-fire way to show that Zestimates can miss by a mile. How? By selling a property for much less than its Zestimate.

 

“The fact that we missed and there are empirical reasons we missed — that’s a great conversation that real estate agents should have” with consumers, he said, citing the property’s irregular lot and location on a busy road as partly responsible for its Zestimate’s inaccuracy.But he expressed hope that, in the same discussion, agents also won’t instill “data nihilism” in consumers, and that they acknowledge that humans also can miss the mark.

 

Key Takeaways

• Agents can demonstrate the Zestimate's shortcomings by showing the discrepancy between the sales price of a home formerly owned by Zilow CEO Spencer Rascoff and its Zestimates.
• Luxury home Zestimates are more likely to be off than others due to 'non-quantifiable facts.'
• Irregular lot sizes or proximity to 'arterial' roads can sometimes throw off Zestimates.

It's been in the news frequently, the middle class is shrinking and the people who can afford to purchase real estate shrinks as well.

The American dream of buying a home is a at a record low. The Wall Street Journal reports, "The homeownership rate, the proportion of households that are owner-occupied, fell to 62.9%, half a percentage point lower than the second quarter of 2015 and 0.6 percentage point lower than the first quarter 2016, the Census Bureau said on Thursday. That was the lowest figure since 1965.

The Diva Did it Again!! So what's your property worth? 

Florida still has excellent values for real estate. There are thousands of forecloures for sale in the sunshine state!
