The new data has arrived for the month of March and it appears that we have posted our 33rd consecutive month of declining home sales (when measured year over year). What this means is the March of 2009 was worse than March 2008 (and February 2009 was worse than February 2008, etc.) going all the way back to June 2006. March sales dropped 21% compared to March of last year, and year-to-date home sales in Tallahassee have fallen 35% when compared to the first quarter of last year. I’m hoping that we are rapidly approaching the bottom of this housing market, as the current rate of sales is far lower than I ever would have believed possible.

Green Home Energy Efficient Lighting Why green your lighting? Since most homes have multiple lights in each room, your lighting choices can have far-reaching effects on how much energy you use and how much you pay for it. A green lighting plan maximizes energy savings through the implementation of low-cost compact fluorescent light bulbs, solar lights, skylights, and other natural light sources. Replace your costly lighting devices today with these green alternatives! Switching to compact fluorescent light bulbs is a great investment savings because you have to replace them less often than incandescent ones. Install solar lights, wherever possible, and you won't have to pay for any energy at all! Also be sure to check out our natural beeswax and soy candles, LED light bulbs, and battery...

Pine, maple, and red oak are the most commonly available wood species. -- Paint-Grade: Lumber intended to receive an opaque finish, which conceals imperfections.

Want to know more about the city you will be calling home? Here is some of the history behind Tallahassee, Florida, your new home!   Leon County, originally part of both Escambia County and Jackson County, and later a part of Gadsden County, was created by the Territorial Legislature December 29, 1824 as the seventh county in the State of Florida. Named for Ponce De Leon, Leon County was one of the most populous and prosperous counties in ante-bellum Florida. Tallahassee, named for the "old fields" that it once encompassed, earned the title early in the 16th century from the Apalachee Indians who inhabited the area. Legend says that the final spelling was chosen by Octavia Walton, daughter of the territorial governor of Florida. Today, Tallahassee exemplifies not only the influence of t...

Better Homes & Gardens   Instant Art Tall, flat-panel wainscoting is a cornerstone of the Arts and Crafts style.   Make a Statement Popular in the formal living and dining rooms of traditional homes, raised panels make a dramatic statement when they continue up the staircase wall.   Classic Entrance Beaded-board paneling is a favorite in classic cottage style. Commonly applied as wainscoting, it has a clean, crisp effect when hung floor to ceiling in mudrooms and recreational spaces.

I've never had a problem talking... don't get me wrong.  But researching the hows and whats and wheres of social media marketing had been a journey.  IThe journey has lead me to the most fascinating women and minds in my business. The goal of social networking, to build relationships.. well.. consider the goal obtained and so much more! I began the journey with Google.. who are the top in the industry.. then Facebook.. again, connecting not just to friends.. but starting with industry leaders. Examining each one with great  involvement, reading their blogs, browsing their websites. Secondly.. I spent a lot of time on you tube... looking for tutorials on the "how tos" of real estate technology. then came Twitter.  What started as an innocent few words blossomed into searches for those wi...

Better Homes & Gardens Eye-Catching Elegance Applying narrow strips of molding to suggest panels is a popular treatment known as picture framing. Frame sizes may vary to emphasize small spaces above doors and windows and large expanses for artwork. The key to eye-pleasing design is to keep the spacing between frames uniform and edges aligned.   Chic Paneling Chunky boards applied horizontally around a room offer a creative, contemporary effect. Apply the same concept using beaded board for old-fashioned country charm.   Indoor Garden For a wainscoting that blossoms with garden appeal, simply overlap square-edge, flat boards in a latticework pattern.   Classic Look Wainscoting is called such because it covers only part of the wall. High wainscoting extends roughly two-thirds up the wall ...

  Please don’t shoot the messenger! We’ve all heard this euphamism used when somebody reacts to bad news by blaming the reporting person or agency, which is exactly what happened in yesterday’s Tallahassee Real Estate Blog about Piney-Z home sales. I wrote an article with updated facts about the Piney-Z neighborhood in Tallahassee. The reader was obviously very upset that home sales in Piney-Z have fallen, both in the number of homes sold as well as in the average sales price, and left a long rant in response. As this is a daily blog, written at “O-dark hundred” in the morning without the benefit of staff and statisticians, I usually just try to deliver Tallahassee real estate market information in graphical format and simple analysis. Yesterday was just such a day and I gave a generali...

Another great Tallahassee neighborhood is seeing tough times in the Tallahassee real estate market. Piney-Z, a great in-town neighborhood, has seen average home prices dropping nearly 27% and unit sales dropping a staggering 83% over the past three years! I have seen some blogs and even a recent article in the Tallahassee Democrat that claim that Tallahassee has not seen significant drops in either home sales or home prices, and of course they do not provide any data or basis other than opinion to support these claims. I would encourage these authors to talk to people trying to sell a home in Piney-Z right now, I’m sure that their opinion might change. This wreckless reporting will mislead some homeowners to lose their homes, as they hit the market at levels that buyers will not even co...

The average number of homes selling in Southwood has dropped 74% in the past three years, and the the trend is continuing to head down. We are seeing pricing pressures across the board, and many people who have recently sold and closed on their homes in Southwood will look back with relief that they got out. New construction prices are being offered well below what was available in the past, making the newer homes priced even lower than most resales. Prudent home owners are lowering their Southwood home prices as they realize smart home buyers will not pay as much for an existing home as they will for new construction. Southwood Home Sales And Average Price Report In the real estate graph above, the blue measures the number of units sold while the red measures the average sales price. T...

Every month we update our Tallahassee MLS report which shows the supply and demand dynamics of the entire area tracked by the Tallahassee Board of Realtors Multiple Listing Service (MLS). The areas include Leon County, Jefferson County, Wakulla County, Gadsden County, Franklin County and a few other random sales from around the State of Florida. While the Tallahassee MLS does not include all of the sales in the Tallahassee real estate market, it usually represents about 2/3rds of the sales in our area. This month, our report shows that home sales are down 31% in March 2009 versus the home sales of March 2008. March Sees Continued Decline In Tallahassee Area Home Sales In the real estate graph below, area listings are represented by the red line, area home sales are represented by the gr...
