Realtor Open House in Pinecrest, Florida

Monday, August 17th, 2009

Last Sunday I held an Open House in Pinecrest. It was a beautiful, sunny afternoon typical of year round life in South Florida.

The house was a vinage house built in the ’50s with some updaating and nicely kept..It had a nice pool and sat on an acre lot, typical of Pinecrest..In the immediate area houses were similar in most respects.

While wating for interested prospects, I sat by the window in the living room. Children were throwing a football in the street.where there was little or no traffic.Had I been invited I probably would have joined them.

A few blocks away there is a newer section with houses that appraise for a million or several million.There were also children playing. Perhaps basketball on the court behind the house next to the pool.

Another few blocks away are some of the best schools in Dade County

My visitors liked the house, and I imagine I’ll sell it in a few weeks.

Pinecrest residents enjoy a superior lifestyle in a unique honetown rural atmosphere.Yet the many cultural and athletic activities available in the greater Miami area are within easy reach .Business men like being within 20 minutes of the greater Miami Airport.

It is safe to say that Pinecrest residents are happy with their lifestyle.

Questions I Often Get Asked…

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

The questions I am most often asked these days are: “Are we at the bottom?” “Is this a good time to buy?

These answers are: we are at or close to the bottom. Prices could get down a little bit more, but probably not much. If you and your Realtor know the market and the area, it’s a great time to buy.

In most areas in South Florida, prices are down a little more than a third. If you are considering buying a house in an upscale area, like Coral Gables or Pinecrest, prices were probably the last to go down and will be the first to go back up. If you see a house you really like, be assured that it will also be the first choice of other buyers. If you wait, it may will be gone. If you are buying a house in either Coral Gables or Pinecrest it as your residence, you can be confident that in five years you can expect a substantial profit.
