  As we continue to get settled in on the new Tallahassee Real Estate Web Site, we hope to establish some great reporting patterns for our different readers to key in on. One big goal is to tackle a reporting schedule for all of the different housing reports that we maintain. If you haven’t checked out what we’ve done lately, you might be missing out on some good stuff! Click on the “Market Report” tab in the header any time you visit and it will take you to a section of our web site dedicated completely to real estate market reports. We are going to try to deliver the housing reports “one bite at a time.” In the past, we updated our twice-weekly housing reports as one long article with six or seven real estate graphs. It was most likely too much to digest at one time, so we are going t...

It is simply amazing to me the opportunity that lies in today's market for buyers.  Now that the $8,000 tax credit has been extended and a second time home buyer credit of up to $6,500 been created, buyers are out shopping.  It really doesn't stop there... The are still down payment assistance available in Tallahassee, FL and Leon County up to $10,000 combined with the fact that most sellers are willing to pay up to 3% towards the buyer's closing costs... Assuming the purchase of a home that is priced at $150,000, a buyer can get up to $22,500 towards purchasing a home which is 15% of the purchase price. All that aside, pre-forclosures and bank owned properties are aplenty and priced below market.  We have a list of pre-foreclosure and bank owned properties available to be e-mailed and ...

As Tallahassee investors seek safety against a falling dollar and declining stock market, annuities are an option increasingly explored by fearful investors but are annuities all they are cracked up to be? Let’s take a few minutes to compare and contrast annuities versus short sales to see which makes the most sense. Annuity Defined An annuity is essentially an insurance product that pays an income for a specified period of time. In a nutshell, you hand over a lump sum and/or regular contributions to an insurance company that is able to use and invest that money in exchange for a guaranteed payment in the future. Reward vs. Risk The “reward” portion of an annuity is the ability to secure a reliable, steady source of income outside of your ability to work. This is one reason it is a pop...

It has been almost four weeks since we launched the new version of the Tallahassee Real Estate Web Site and we have received many greatly appreciated compliments, comments, recommendations, and questions. We love the compliments, but the recommendations and questions help guide us in our future modifications and improvements. Perhaps the most asked question up to this point relates to all of the “free downloads” that we used to offer in our sidebar of the Tallahassee Real Estate Blog. Our long-time readers want to know why we got rid of them…. Well, we didn’t. We just moved them to a better location so that they could be managed. You see, we were averaging well over 150 downloads per day on the previous blog site, so our “Popular Downloads” were much more popular than we had ever envisi...

When the St. Joe Company decided to start its Southwood Development in Tallahassee, the company issued statements (press releases) that included various numbers of reasons why it felt Tallahassee would enjoy growth and prosperity in the future. Most importantly, it outlined the  target market for  people who would buy a home in Southwood. One particular segment of this announced target market really caught my attention. The segment was “FSU Graduates wanting to retire and return to Tallahassee.” And not just retirees, but people who had spent their college years in Tallahassee and would love to live here permanently. My thinking at the time was that it was a very insightful, very clever goal that could really help Tallahassee grow. My thinking on this has not changed. In fact, just yest...

If you are looking for an exterior paint color for your Tallahassee home, consider other aspects of your house such as the color of the roof, deck and other structures.

I have put together the “mother of all housing reports” in an effort to show our readers what is available on a regular basis at the Tallahassee Housing Reports page on our new web site. This does not even include all of the charts and graphs that we provide about foreclosures (on the Tallahassee Foreclosures page), nor does it include all of the chart and graphs that we provide about Tallahassee neighborhoods. FYI: You can subscribe to the Tallahassee Real Estate Blog and have it delivered to your email box each time it is published. Just click on the button in the top right of the header any time you want. It only takes a few seconds and then you’ll receive the most up to date Tallahassee real estate information as it is written. Monthly Market Reports With Real Estate Graphs These ar...

The Tallahassee Real Estate market is at a low.  For potential home owners this is the chance of a lifetime. Leon County sales totals for single-family detached homes, condos and townhouses in August were 234, up from 225 the same month a year ago. Although that fact is encouraging, there are still more than 3,000 active real-estate listings in Leon and surrounding counties. That means many months of inventory remain at the current sales rate. The Tallahassee Democrat asked members of the Tallahassee Board of Realtors to nominate their choices for the area’s 10 best home buys.  To find out which area’s those are, pick up your copy today.

  Did you happen to catch this morning’s Tallahassee Democrat article on the controversy that is finally brewing in downtown Tallahassee? You might recall that I wrote a blog in early December about a bogus compensation plan that Tallahassee City Commissioners awarded themselves (and deemed legal by OUR city attorney who also received the 60%+ raise). This whole issue was brought to light because Erwin Jackson wouldn’t let it go. He asked the City Commission to bring in outside people to review the legality of the entire ordeal. The City Commission waived him off, citing the fact that it had already reviewed the legality of the raise with its own attorney. Mr. Jackson has continued to pursue this and finally it is getting some attention. When I wrote about the good work that Mr. Jackson...

The market goes up, and the market goes down, but what do people moving to Tallahassee want to know? They want to know about houses in Tallahassee. They want to know about schools and they want to know about Tallahassee neighborhoods. They want to know about recreation and they want to know about shopping. But most of all, they want to know about the area and about Tallahassee houses. I received a message from a client this morning who will be moving here shortly. Here is what she said: My husband and I are relocating to Tallahassee. Our move date will be in June. I wanted to get in touch with you quickly. I will actually be in town this weekend and was hoping someone could show me around the city and neighborhoods that are family friendly with good school districts. I was hoping to do ...
