I received a lead to help a Captain in the US Army buy a house in Tallahassee in preparation for his return to the states.  He is attending Florida State University's Law School in the fall, and wants to get his new home lined up and closed before he gets here.       Yeah!!! What a great assignment!  I love the opportunity to help someone buy real estate who has been defending us in the war in Iraq.  Little did I realize as I got started what a challenge it would be to take on the responsibility to be his eyes and ears on the ground in Tallahassee... oh my!              What if I miss something?  Some detail that to me doesn't mean much, but to him means a lot...? Or he hates the neighborhood?  Or it's too far a drive?                                                                     ... 05/09/2009

  Much is written about real estate appreciation (or now real estate depreciation) and many points of reference are used to “validate” the rates that are being computed. But I warn you, most references to appreciation are just plain wrong. How does one go about measuring real estate appreciation? If time and data resources weren’t a factor, you could just take all home sales ever recorded, and then compute the annualized appreciation rate of each unique home. For example, you could look at recent sales and let’s say you found 123 Main Street just sold for $315,000. You would then go back to it’s list of previous sales and from that list you could calculate it’s annual appreciation rate from it’s first sale until now. Historical Appreciation Rates There are some large data mining compani... 05/08/2009

If you are thinking about selling your Tallahassee home, I have some quick advice for you. You see, getting a home sold in Tallahassee, right now, is not as tough as you might think.

  With all the problems in the real estate and mortgage industries, many new scams seem to be traveling around the internet, as well as through direct mail and telemarketing. The one that has raised the awareness of the State of Florida concerns organizations that promote themselves as mortgage rescue specialists. While many of these law firms and mortgage companies are reputable, there are a great number of them in which you should be wary. A valuable tool for Florida homeowners was recently developed by Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum.  His new website, http://myfloridalegal.com/mortgagefraud, provides consumers with easy access to current investigations, complaint forms, and tips to identify and avoid foreclosure rescue fraud.

Yesterday was a busy day, as we posted the 6th edition of the Tallahassee Real Estate Newsletter. You can subscribe to the newsletter (in the sidebar to the right) in order to have it delivered right to your email inbox when it is published. I noticed after publishing the newsletter yesterday that a few people quit their subscription. One in particular commented that I was writing “too much doom and gloom” and he no longer wished to receive the newsletter. So with this in mind, I’m changing the news …. just kidding. But I will work harder to point out the good news that is out there when I find it. Positive Signs In The Tallahassee Real Estate Market [click to continue…] 05/05/2009

  Today we are fortunate to have a “guest” who is currently working on his Ph.D. at Florida State University. Tim Munyon is doing research on the relationship between real estate clients and their agent during a real estate transaction. You might have noticed the “survey” button on our sidebar, which takes you to Tim’s survey. Here is an explanation from Tim: A Real Estate Transaction Is Significant A real estate transaction is the single most significant purchase or sale most individuals will make. Accordingly, it is prudent to seek the expertise and experience of agents who can help expedite the process and protect the interests of those involved. Yet, the value of an agent to a buyer or seller is largely dependent upon their ability to communicate effectively with one another and mee... 05/05/2009

Each month, we record the number of new single family building permits issued in Tallahassee (Leon County) in order to see what kind of effect new homes will have on the market.
