Fourth Fireworks Frighten Furry Friends...Easy for you to say! But seriously, please don't forget that your pets are terrified of fireworks this July 4th. Each year in Marathon, Florida one of the highlight events of the summer, is the annual 4th of July fireworks and festivities at Sombrero Beach. Families begin the day with the patriotic parade at 10:30AM and then head to Sombrero Beach on Sombrero Beach Road at mile marker 50, oceanside. This is a full day event with food, crafts and entertainment. The highlight are the fireworks at dark. Many will view this spectacular event from their boats. But, the first time we went we took our dogs and with the first bang my Pomeranian pup Zeke was off like a flash. Trying to call a dog in this noise is impossible and even just seeing and runni... 06/27/2016

How much is my Florida Keys real estate appreciating?"Facts" and figures come in many different forms. And, everyone knows that statistics can be manipulated base upon the parameters used.One of the questions I am routinely asked by my Florida Keys real estate investors is "How much are properties appreciating in the Florida Keys". You can make that answer very simple by looking at the market as a whole, which is what the chart below is displaying. The Florida Keys as a whole is up 10% for the past 12 months and Marathon, the 33050 zip code, was up 8.5%. To be conservative, when I consult with investors, we use a 3-4% average appreciation rate annually. More often then not they are then thrilled when it actually returns closer to 10%.  06/25/2016
