Put your home on the market during the holidays!  A few suggestions on why to list your home during the holidays.Buyers  need to buy during the holidays and you stand the chance of selling your home new year with quality homebuyers relocating to south Florida before the years end.  People who look for a home during the holidays are more serious buyers. Serious buyers have fewer houses to choose from during the Holidays and less competition means more money for you. Since the supply of listings will dramatically increase in January, there will be less demand for your particular home.  Less demand means less money for you. Houses show better when decorated for the Holidays, people want to feel like purchasing a home during the holidays is most special and rewarding. What better gift than ... 11/20/2007

Again today I was reminded of how important parks and green space are to the ambiance of downtown St Petersburg, Florida.  A prospect called from New Hampshire, interested in buying one of the downtown condos in St Pete, as a second home. He wanted the water view, of course, but also wanted to be adjacent to the green space. We're so lucky to have parks lining the waterfront, rather than a row of condos blocking the view to everyone else. It's likely to stay parkland as well, because when it was originally given to the City of St Petersburg, the restriction was that none of the land could be sold or long-term leased without approval of the citizens by a ballot referendum. The voters have used that power well, only allowing two exceptions, both of which were improvements for the area, an... 08/14/2006
