Tallahassee has a lot of subdivisions for the number of homes in town. In 2009, there were home sales recorded in 806 of these Tallahassee neighborhoods (legally called Subdivisions). I decided to take a fairly quick look to see which neighborhoods were selling the most properties. I went to the tax records for all of Leon County, Florida in order to determine the following: How many homes sold in each Tallahassee subdivision. What was the average home price in each subdivision. What percent of home sales were not “arms length.” At what discount did non-arms length home sales trade to arms length home sales. My findings were not surprising. Now bear in mind, there might still be sales recorded that occurred in 2009, so the fairest way to do this was to gather all home sales in Tallahass...

  As we continue to get settled in on the new Tallahassee Real Estate Web Site, we hope to establish some great reporting patterns for our different readers to key in on. One big goal is to tackle a reporting schedule for all of the different housing reports that we maintain. If you haven’t checked out what we’ve done lately, you might be missing out on some good stuff! Click on the “Market Report” tab in the header any time you visit and it will take you to a section of our web site dedicated completely to real estate market reports. We are going to try to deliver the housing reports “one bite at a time.” In the past, we updated our twice-weekly housing reports as one long article with six or seven real estate graphs. It was most likely too much to digest at one time, so we are going t...

It is simply amazing to me the opportunity that lies in today's market for buyers.  Now that the $8,000 tax credit has been extended and a second time home buyer credit of up to $6,500 been created, buyers are out shopping.  It really doesn't stop there... The are still down payment assistance available in Tallahassee, FL and Leon County up to $10,000 combined with the fact that most sellers are willing to pay up to 3% towards the buyer's closing costs... Assuming the purchase of a home that is priced at $150,000, a buyer can get up to $22,500 towards purchasing a home which is 15% of the purchase price. All that aside, pre-forclosures and bank owned properties are aplenty and priced below market.  We have a list of pre-foreclosure and bank owned properties available to be e-mailed and ...

As Tallahassee investors seek safety against a falling dollar and declining stock market, annuities are an option increasingly explored by fearful investors but are annuities all they are cracked up to be? Let’s take a few minutes to compare and contrast annuities versus short sales to see which makes the most sense. Annuity Defined An annuity is essentially an insurance product that pays an income for a specified period of time. In a nutshell, you hand over a lump sum and/or regular contributions to an insurance company that is able to use and invest that money in exchange for a guaranteed payment in the future. Reward vs. Risk The “reward” portion of an annuity is the ability to secure a reliable, steady source of income outside of your ability to work. This is one reason it is a pop...
