Harbourside in South Pasadena | St. Pete Beach is a beautiful gated condo community with just over 800 units, and many of them are second residences and often empty for longer stretches over the Spring and Summer months. The general perception among the owners at Harbourside is, that Harbourside is pretty dead over the summer, and not much is happening in real estate during the upcoming summer months.  FALSE!!!! In 2011, out of the 46 total units sold per the MLS, 12 (TWELVE!) closed during the hottest quarter of the year – June through August! That means over 25% of all closings for 2011 happened during those 3 months*!! *Data per My Florida Regional MLS  Buyers are ready to buy, and will act on it if they find the right unit. If owners are waiting to list their property for sale until... 05/14/2012

This age-old question that Sellers ask about the value of their condo is never easy to answer! Harbourside South Pasadena, FL is a very practical example (and a favorite community of mine!), how sales prices can vary greatly even within the same subdivision or complex, and even the same floorplan!! In all of 2011, 16 condos with the “Biscayne” floorplan of 1,145 sq ft were sold in Harbourside. The HIGHEST sold price was $279,000.-, my partner Denise Hobbs and I were the listing agents on this sale. The LOWEST sales price was $190,000.-. WHAT A CRAZY DIFFERENCE!! Out of the 16 sales, we helped 5 Sellers and 6 Buyers, and the prices ranged wildly!! (Data based on MyFloridaRegional MLS).   There are some main factors that will affect the value of any condo at Harbourside: ·    Location: So... 02/20/2012

Harbourside in South Pasadena is a upscale, gated community that I do a lot if business in, but when I talk to Owners, I so often get asked, “What should I do with all that extra furniture I have?“, and my answer normally is “NOTHING until I get there and we talk about it!!“. The amount of time us Realtors spend talking about furniture is really amazing! Whether people are thinking about selling a property or renting it out, there is no black and white answer to this question, like so often in life – it all depends! One of the problems with completely empty properties is that people like to look at things. If they view an empty property and there is nothing to look at, they will look at every little flaw that there is – the nail in the wall, the spot on the carpet, the crack in the tile... 02/14/2012

It happened again, and it will probably happen again in the future: I showed a condo to a client, he really likes the amenities and condo, and he wants to move-in this coming Monday. But I have to tell him he can't. He is upset, because the condo is vacant. "It's vacant, I got the money, I want to move in!"  - But condos are not hotels! There are millions of condo associations out there, and every one is a little different, but most of them have one rule in common: No move-in without new owner or new tenant approval! Each Association would have its own New Owner/New Tenant application form, but the procedure is mostly the same. A complete application package has to be submitted to the appropriate Property Management Company for approval, and the complete application package typically co... 02/06/2012
