Now is a great time to buy an Ormond By The Sea Florida home or condo

Now is a great time to buy an Ormond By The Sea Florida home or condo

Much more information about real estate for sale is more readily available to those looking to buy due to the internet.  This availability gives buyers more information about the homes and condos for sale as well as the neighborhoods and local area.

Interest rates are VERY low and the inventory of Homes and Condos for sale is remaining at a high level so there are lots of properties from which to choose. A few years ago there were very few choices and buyers were selecting and bidding on a property that did not have all of the features they originally wanted. Those bidding wars that were a nightmare for buyers are now a thing of the past. Prices have come back down to where they were in 2002-2003 and in many cases that represents significant savings.
Values of some Condos are about 50% less than their peak 2005/2006 value. Buyers can also take more time selecting the Home or Condo that is right for them. When the market was really hot buyers that took a few hours to decide to make an offer would find that the property they loved had been sold. The bottom line is that now is a great time to get off the fence and buy that second Home or Condo or Retirement Home.

I'd rather have the money

I'd rather have the money

Show me the money.

When the inspection report comes back with items that need to be addressed, wherever possible, I suggest the buyer and seller negotiate a reasonable price to be paid at closing for the buyer to accomplish the work.  This of course applies only to situations where the work is not of a nature that it must be accomplished prior to closing.

Quite often the seller or a friend or relative will "finish the job" so that it will satisfy the inspection requirements, but it will not be the type or quality work required or expected by the buyer.  Replacing doors, windows, fixtures, ect. are examples of items that can vary widely in price and quality and may be a matter of taste and décor.   Would you rather have the ability to select the materials and the contractors or would you be happy having the seller's brother-in-law take care of it?

So if I were the buyer I'd rather have the money and let the wife pick out what she likes.  What say you?

How the other half loves

A brilliant farce about three suburban couples. The setting is two living rooms that overlap while both households carry on their lives unaware of each other. Confusion abounds as you watch a dinner party on successive nights. The comedy is vintage Ayckbourn – an action-packed, brilliantly written whirlwind which pokes fun at the misgivings and misunderstandings of marriage.
