Fort Walton Beach, FL Real Estate News

The New Navarre Fishing Pier is Nearing Completion The nice thing about my office being on the beach is I can take a break and see what is going on. Today I took my camera and took a picture of The new pier. It's Tuesday and I have already had a busy week I worked with really nice family we found them a bank owned house which was price almost 33% less than the comperable homes. The only thing that was missing was the appliances. It has Granite counter tops security system, huge rooms, fireplace downstairs master suite. I also leased a commercial building and trying to find a short term rental for a new customer. It took us 3 months to find this Home. We had just made an offer on a short sale and the owner turned us down not even the bank. I had done a CMA and our offer was in line with...

Are You Waiting For Lightning To Strike? If your home is over priced You are. Your are wondering what is he talking about? If you have over priced your home there a small chance that someone could come along and pay you what you are asking. They will have to pay all cash or the difference to make the loan to value at least 80 to 90%. Houses do get struck by lighting so keep hope alive. I have some lottery tickets that I only used once. Check out this house it has a $15K lightning rod protection system. http://www.uberrealty.com/PropertyDetail.aspx?mls=523682&feed=flidx&propIndex=0

According to Deutsche bank predicts that 50% of all mortgages will be underwater by 2011. Yes there was a small up tick of prices in November. Can anyone say $8000 check from Government. Is now a good time to buy Yes and no but mostly Know. Know what your situation is, can you afford to purchase a home. Is it in an area where there will be demand now and in the future. Is it good repair. Good schools and generally location, location and location. Make sure  to look at what will happen in the neighborhood in the next couple of years. Where all the homes built and bought between 2005-2007 if so, most will be underwater on there mortgage. Will there be walk aways? Foreclosures short sales?

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...

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...

Eglin officials have confirmed that the base will host an air show in 2010. This years theme will be "75 Years of Eglin Pride", scheduled for April 10th and 11th 2010. A wide variety of aerial performers, including the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, will headline the show, along with a variety of othe aircraft on display, and lots of vendors.  It's always a good time for everyone so whether you've been or this will be your first air show, make sure you mark your calendars for this event and make plans to attend.  More details and event schedules will become available as we get closer to the date.  I've had the wonderful opportunity to see air shows all around the world during my Air Force career, and there is nothing like it.  Aerial displays, from aircraft.  The Army's Golden Knights par...

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...

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...
