Having lived here since the 60 s, we know the communities, the builders and trends. In the 60 s all the young kids lived on the beaches and all the seniors lived downtown. Now more and more young people are looking downtown and seniors have established themselves in the beach condos. However the younger families are now rediscovering the beaches, and want good schools. So after the beaches add a few more amenities the beaches will be attractive to everybody once again. Call us soon.

True Florida vacation home and easy show For Buyers to Remember Don t be afraid to talk to the neighbors If a property is on your short list, talk to the neighbors to find out what community activities go on, where the local shops are and to find out about dog parks, bike trails, and neighborhood parks for your kids or yourselves to enjoy the outdoors. Don t skip inspections No matter how handy you are, using a professional inspector always gives you another eye to look at the property. If you choose a qualified inspector, they will have the full check list and all the equipment to make sure all the necessary components are checked and nothing is forgotten. This includes termite inspections, roof inspection and sea wall if applicable. Don't Buy That New Furniture Until After Closing With many of today's buyers purchasing homes at the top end of what they can afford, there isn't any room left in their loan qualification score. Deals have been lost days before closing because the lender did a final credit check and found several thousand dollars of new furniture had just been purchased on a credit card, changing the Buyer s ratios. Significant changes in your cash reserves may also affect your ability to purchase. Do not make any significant credit charges or large cash purchases in this critical pre-closing phase. Stuff Happens - Don't End Up Temporarily Homeless There are so many variables involved in a closing that it's not that unusual for there to be last-minute delays that move a closing a few days farther out. Many times, this is due to loan documents as the lender wants to see all appraisal, survey, title and other documents first. If any of these are delayed, then the closing might be later than expected. Be sure that you have a contingency plan should a delay occur.

Emerging Trends Provides Sector Outlooks for 2017 From C21 On-Line Every year, PricewaterhouseCoopers and the Urban Land Institute release Emerging Trends in Real Estate, one of the industry s most anticipated forecasts. The 2017 edition lists real estate trends and provides forecasts for the various sectors of commercial real estate. Here are some highlights: Industrial. The industrial sector has been a favorite of investors due to its strong performance. The sector is being propelled by strong demand (warehouses, in particular, due to the popularity of e-commerce), limited new construction and a perception that industrial properties have lower risk. Apartments. The multifamily sector has had a good run of success, driven by demand from renters by choice as well as those who can t afford to buy. But in some parts of the country, yields are down due to rent pressure from competition and high prices on investment properties. Office. According to Emerging Trends, the outlook for office properties is less rosy than for other sectors. Foreign investment has been leading the charge for prime central business district properties, and that s not forecast to decline. But rising prices are leading some investors to look at smaller markets for better returns. Retail. Emerging Trends indicates that many industry professionals have concerns about retail. E-commerce remains a major competitor to in-person shopping. So-called high street retail in urban areas is in demand, and mall owners are increasingly adding entertainment and experiences for shoppers in order to attract them. Emerging Trends is based on interviews and survey responses from more than 1,800 real estate experts, including investors, fund managers, developers, lenders and brokers.
