Make sure to check back in for updates on the Palm Coast - Flagler County Real Estate Market and Trends. I believe that information is power and am an advocate for customer empowerment. Market update for July 2008 The inventory of listed homes in Lehigh woods decreased by 8% from June to July. The change in average sale price was very minimal.  The average sale price to list price difference is not as drastic as Seminole woods this month...but that is still a large difference between what is selling and what current inventory is listed for. Of the 18 sold homes in Lehigh Woods for July - 8 were bank owned - 2 were short sales and 8 were regular non-distressed sales.   Lehigh Woods Neighborhood (North of 100/West of I-95) 178 Homes For Sale   Average List Price: $189,587 in July vs $196,... 08/02/2008

Make sure to check back in for updates on the Palm Coast - Flagler County Real Estate Market and Trends. I believe that information is power and am an advocate for customer empowerment. Market update for July 2008 Wow... the average sale price data for July in Seminole Woods is not encouraging for sellers.  Looking deeper into the data, 7 homes sold in July - 3 of them were short sales, 3 of them were bank owned and one was a non-distressed sale. But when looking at the large difference in list price vs sale price..it again is clear that the lower end deals are coming off the market. Seminole Woods located in the south end of Flagler County and Palm Coast.  Located in excellent proximity to the new Town Center Project , The Florida Hospital/Flagler, The Flagler County Airport and is ver... 08/02/2008

Wow...Radon Gas has certainly come onto my radar lately.  About a week ago my mother sent me an article from the local newspaper in my hometown of Steamboat Springs, Colorado that was rather disturbing...especially since my father was diagnosed with lung cancer and passed several years ago.  If you are interested you can read The article "Radon Lurks in City Homes" So imagine my surprise when tonight while surfing the web I cam across the article published in the New York times titled "What's lurking in your Countertops" about Granite Countertops and the elevated radiation and radon gas emissions coming from certain types of Granite.  Can you believe that people are actually pulling out their expensive granite tops now for fear of cancer....yikes!!!     07/26/2008

Should you buy a house with a pool?  Maybe...maybe not.  Make sure that your decision to purchase a home with an existing pool is based on need and knowledge and not an emotional decision. There is a common statement here in Palm Coast "The first home you buy in Palm Coast/Flagler County has a pool...the next home you buy does not" Why is this? Pool homes can be a very exotic teaser to the first time buyer of a home in a warm climate...feeding into the lifestyle dream of floating around all day like you are on vacation, hosting lavish parties by the pool and inviting all of your new friends over to splash around with you etc....but after you purchase your new home and have paid the additional cost for a pool...not soon after you move in.... the reality takes hold. A pool can be very cos... 07/26/2008

 A townhouse is a style of construction, whereas condominium and co-op are types of ownership. A townhouse is basically a building or unit that shares a common wall with the building or unit next door. The walls are usually straight and entry is usually from the ground floor. Townhouses usually have two or more stories. A townhouse can be a style of condominium. A condo is where you own the actual structure of the building jointly with the other members of the association, along with common areas such as swimming pools, tennis courts or other common areas. Individually, you own the airspace and interior of the structure, but not the building itself. You and the other members of the association own the structure together. A co-op is where you own shares of a corporation or organization ... 07/09/2008

Real Estate is always changing. This site has been designed to keep you up to date on the Flagler County Real Estate market conditions. There are three types of markets when it comes to real estate... Buyers Market - Sellers Market  and a market that is in relative equilibrium. Most of the country is currently in a "Buyers Market" for those of you that did not know.

With a short sa... 07/09/2008
