Today Panama City Beach, Florida had a special visit from First Lady, Michelle Obama.  She flew into the new Northwest Florida International Beaches Airport on Southwest Airlines a couple of hours ago to visit our beach. She just finished a speech to a small crowd at The Boardwalk Beach Resort located on Thomas Drive and stated there is no oil on Panama City Beach, it's beautiful here, and she wants people to know it's ok to come to Panama City Beach!  So everyone out there that's been hearing that Panama City Beach, Florida is covered in oil, IT'S NOT TRUE!!! The water is clear, the sand is sugar white, and all that's missing is YOU!   Pick up the phone, make those reservations and come see us!     *************************************************************************************  R...

After a week of miserable news on the housing market, including last Friday’s report that show May new home sales fell 33% and existing home sales off 2%, we got some much needed good news on Tuesday which showed a modest gain in home prices nationwide. The S&P Case-Schiller Home Price Index of twenty major housing markets showed prices gained by nearly 1% in May over the prior month and 3.8% from the year earlier. Despite the recent gains, however, home prices still remain some 30% below their peak. Some economists fear that, without the stimulus provided by the now expired first-time homebuyer tax credit, the housing market recovery could lose momentum but others argue that the overall effect of the tax credit has been overblown.

There appears to be good news coming for first-time homebuyers that had a home under contract by April 30, 2010 but were not able to close by the June 30th tax credit deadline. The tax credit extension was overwhelmingly approved by the House on Tuesday and President Obama is expected to sign it. Under the bill, first-time homebuyers that were already under contract by April 30 but not able to close by the prior June 30 deadline will now have until September 30, 2010 to close and receive the $8,000 tax credit. The bill does not extend the tax credit to homebuyers that were not already under contract by April 30, 2010.     *************************************************************************************  Rates are still low and home prices are affordable.

Mortgage rates remained at or near historical lows over the past week with benchmark thirty-year, fixed-rate at 4.75% with no pints and the fifteen-year, fixed-rate at 4.25%.Rates on FHA, VA and Rural Development loans are also all under 5.00%. Rate shave been held at bay by the usual suspects – European debt concerns, weak employment numbers and stick market volatility. The longer-term prognosis doesn’t see interest higher interest rates coming for some time. A research paper released by the San Francisco Federal Reserve on Tuesday argues that interest rates will remain low until 2012 thanks to high unemployment and low inflation. Also on Tuesday, the National Association of Home Builders released their monthly builder confidence index which registered a surprise decline in June. The i...
