Last month I posted about a bike ride through Butterfly World for the Holiday of LIghts. We never made it to it. It was to cold that night and the kiddos were sick. So we decided the other night to take the car and drive through it. I loved the kids reactions. They have never been through it before and loved all the different lights that were up. Of course I recorded some of it for you. How could I not!         I wish you all a very Happy Holiday!! 12/12/2008

The bad news first (as if you needed to hear it again). At this very moment we are experiencing a "Credit Crisis" as the U.S. economy struggles to maintain it's ability to keep our head above water. Banks are failing, gas prices are on the rise, foreclosures have increased while home values have plummeted.  What a mess!! So why is it important to repair your credit now?  Simply put, due to lax credit requirements in the past which brought us to this point, future requirements are going to be very strict to say the least.  A projection that everyone extending credit and financing will increase their requirements regarding credit profiles and credit scores is inevitable. As this will help to correct many problems that have created the current economic woes, it's going to leave a vast majo... 10/01/2008

The good news is ... inventory levels in South Florida continue to decline from a high of 41,196 (October 2007) to 38,360 today (a decline of 6%). Also, we have gone from a 4+ year supply of homes to a 2 year supply of homes. These are all solid indications that we are approaching the bottom of the housing crisis. Unfortunately the decline of inventory is not due to increased sales. The decline is because home owners are taking their homes off the market ... 26,641 listings have expired this year. Additionally, the foreclosure rate continues to skyrocket ... 25% of all properties for sale in South Florida are either bank owned or in pre-foreclosure. The bank owned properties will continue to dominate pricing for 2 more years ... some segments locally have seen a 26 -- 29% drop THIS YEAR... 09/19/2008

Coconut Creek Florida public hearing is Sept. 11, 2008 @ 7 PM....  Where are these fowl to live? There will be a public hearing on rezoning the green space area located at the intersection of Lyons Road and Atlantic Boulevard tomorrow night September 11, 2008 at 7:00 PM. It will be at the Coconut Creek Government Center located at 4800 W. Copans Road. The residents in Coconut Creek love the 15 acres of wetland that currently exists on this corner. Lowe's and Kohls have petitioned the city to rezone this area and change the zoning to commercial thus eliminating a major piece of forest that helps keep our air clean. With more construction in the area (don't even get me started on the noise, length of time, dirt, air pollution (my car is always covered with a white dust in the morning even... 09/10/2008

We know that Short Sales aren't an easy task to accomplish. Yet, in the end when you make it to the closing as I did did yesterday and you hear the joy and relief from your Sellers, there really is nothing like it. Especially when they send you a testimonial expressing their gratitude and you're moved to tears. I was blessed by my experience. The approval from Wells Fargo took about 78 days to receive with a 1st and 2nd mortgage on the home. This wasn't necessarily a typical Short Sale as these Sellers at the onset weren't late on their payments. The Short Sale package had been submitted with typical beginning delays until a negotiator was assigned. Once assigned, communication was regular with me knowing that constant follow up was necessary.  No, they didn't always answer my call or m... 09/05/2008

The National Association of Realtors has agreed to change its policies on Internet home-sale listings to settle a long legal battle with federal regulators who have accused the group of anti-competitive behavior that harms consumers. The settlement, which awaits court approval, would resolve a 2005 Justice Department lawsuit that accused the association of undermining newer, lower-priced rivals by hampering their ability to post home-sale listings online. The Realtors association, which did not admit liability or wrongdoing and faces no fines, agreed not to treat Internet-based brokerages differently than traditional ones. says the Washington Post May 28, 2008 It's a win for consumers because it's going to eliminate impediments to competition caused by the policies [the Realtors group] ... 06/02/2008
