Every market is different. Just because the national news says that home prices are rising, homes are selling quickly, and multiple offers are common doesn’t mean that’s what is happening in your area. In fact, real estate markets can vary even within the same county. Your local agent will help you stay informed about market trends in your area. If you are thinking about selling your home, check out our free home valuation tool here.
Rates are already at historic lows. The UK’s exit from the EU almost certainly guarantees they will remain low (and possibly go lower) over the next few months. If you were thinking of buying your first home or trading up to the house of your dreams, this may be the time to act. The cost of money may never be better for a potential buyer.To find out more about the exciting New Listings and want to stay current on what's hitting the market in your neighborhood; or to find out the value of your home right now click Here

The Middle Keys average sale price at $1,662,87 enjoyed a 49% increase over last year however this number is for all property type and is skewed by a 21% decrease in lot sales coupled with a 25% increase in homes selling over $1,000,000
Click HERE to See what's happeningnationwide As explained in theenclosed newsletter, many markets in the country are experiencing a slow down in sales with resort home markets down 18% nationally. The global economy and the upcoming election are most likely causing buyers to be hesitant with discretionary spending. Our prices have risen steadily over the past few years causing many buyers to be price out of the market. On the positive note, interest rates remain historically low.
Coldwell Banker continues to lead the market in the Middle Keys selling twice as many of our seller's property than the #2 company and participating in 32% of all sales.

You’ve decided to sell your house. You begin to interview potential real estate agents to help you through the process. You need someone you trust enough to:
You have many agents from which to choose. Pick someone who truly cares.
Set the market value on possibly the largest asset your family owns (your home)
Set the time schedule for the successful liquidation of that asset
Set the fee for the services required to liquidate that asset
An agent must be concerned first and foremost about you and your family in order to garner that degree of trust. Make sure this is the case.
Be careful if the agent you are interviewing begins the interview by:
Bragging about their success
Bragging about their company’s success
An agent’s success and the success of their company can be important considerations when deciding on the right real estate professional to represent you in the sale of the house. However, you first need to know they care about what you need and what you expect from the sale. If the agent is not interested in first establishing your needs, how successful they may seem is much less important.
Look for someone with the ‘heart of a teacher’ who comes in prepared well enough to explain the current real estate market and patient enough to take the time to show how it may impact the sale of your home.
Not someone only interested in trying to sell you on how great they are.
Houses are definitely selling. If your house has been on the market for any length of time and has not yet sold, let's meet up to see if it is priced appropriately to compete in today’s market. 305-395-0814 visit www.SearchFloridaKeysHomes.com/sell to Get a Free Market analysis of your house in Florida Keys

Only those homes priced under $100,000 showed a decline (-4.6%). The decline in this price range points to the lower inventory of distressed properties available for sale and speaks to the strength of the market.

Only those homes priced under $100,000 showed a decline (-4.6%). The decline in this price range points to the lower inventory of distressed properties available for sale and speaks to the strength of the market.
The primary aspects of the Q1 sales for all property types are an overall 23% decrease in the number of sales, while the average sales price increased 28% . In order to understand what caused these changes in the Keys Market, we researched the sales and sales prices for the following property types: Single family waterfront (SFW), single family non-waterfront (SFNW), condo/townhome/duplex/half-duplex (CTD), mobile homes (MH), lots and land (LL) commercial properties and boat slips (BS). We did this for each of the four Keys market areas for 2016 compared to 2015, and for the percentage contribution for each property type in each market area to the total.

From the foregoing, we know that all property types in all markets experienced declines or no changes in the number of sales with the exception of Single Family Waterfront (SFW) properties in the Middle Keys and Key West, which uniquely experienced increases. Additionally, we understand that the increase in ASP for SFW properties, which make up 31% of the Keys market is the result of significant increases in number of sales of $1M+ properties in the UK (56%), MK (57%) and for the LK (33%) due to increases in sales and average sales price. The exception being Key West which, as noted above, has a relatively small number of SFW properties. The increases in the luxury market continue the trend starting in 2015. The $1M+ residential market from April 2015 to March 2016 also had a 16% increase in number of sales and a 6% increase in ASP.

As a young woman, my life came to the brink of disaster during a bloody civil war, and I was forced to flee my country with just the clothes on my back. Imagine, going from such a nightmare to the peaceful, sun-kissed beaches of the Florida Keys! ...I, may not have brought physical possessions with me, but I brought something far more powerful.. the deep-rooted survival skills of my refugee parents and grandparents who had fled the Armenian genocide. When I first arrived in America, I had no idea what this country could offer me. English is my fourth language, and I struggled with finding ways to express myself. Nevertheless, I maintained a "can do" attitude. National Associaiton of Realtors and Florida Association of Realtors in 1997, I worked into the wee hours of the morning, studying the materials in my tiny, ocean-side cottage. I reviewed maps, handpicked.. homes for sale, and calculated the comparable for the right sales.
In those early days, I had to do it all by myself, but, as time went by~~, I carefully chose my business partners, making sure they shared my mindset and were in harmony with the system I had developed to market and promote properties. I have emerged an award-winning real estate consultant, caring and compassionate in helping people find their piece of paradise.
Aristotle said, "The more you know, the more you know you don't know."
Throughout my life, despite all the knowledge I have gained, I know, I have barely scratched the surface, but look at how far~~ I have come! Life is about mountains and valleys, and I've experienced both... I have enjoyed the exhilaration of reaching the mountaintops, and survived the valley depths of ..heartache, financial loss, and adversaries of life.
In my most difficult times, I have experienced growth spurts. Each time, I became more aware of who I was, what lessons I could learn, and how much I could endure. I became a stronger, better, more determined woman.
I have experienced many crossings in my life. My passion for knowledge has served as their foundation, just as faith helped me manage these crossings. The less I resisted, the quicker I reached my goals. I kept in mind three words: release, relate, relax...I reminded myself that All things come together for good when our intentions are honorable. Physical growth is visible, easy to recognize, yet our spiritual, emotional, and financial growth -- which, with the physical, I call the four pillars of my life -- is equally important. Growth requires patience, fierce endurance.
When we plant seeds, we have to honor the gestation period. Just because we can't see anything sprout above ground.. doesn't mean nothing is happening just under the soil. Hebrews 11:1 says, "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." This is the promise of growth.
My growth in every aspect of my life I can attribute to non-linear thinking. ..I approach challenges in unconventional, creative, unpredictable ways, and at times,.. I make risky moves. In the early days?, when I was doing everything right and nothing was coming of those efforts, I began to understand the laws of the universe and to honor the gestation period for growth. Every couple of years, I feel that I no longer fit in the position I'm occupying. I get an itch to grow, to do something different and exciting. I enjoy being around people more knowledgeable than I am, more experienced than I am, more intelligent, more patient, and more financially secure. I constantly strive to be honest, audacious, detail-driven, confident, authentic, happy, caring, persistent, understanding, and committed to continued growth. These traits, I feel, and I believe, will bring me to the peak of the pyramid where there will be no competition, only the certainty, clarity, and freedom to enjoy the fruits of my labors.
In the final analysis, my hero is Lela Ashkarian. I have molded myself into the person I am, in the way God created me in His image. As the late Stephen Covey said, "I believe that when we were born, our work was born with us."
I visualize myself on the upper edge of success, like a kernel of popcorn in boiling oil, so hot~~ that it's almost ready to pop. I can succeed only by moving forward and upward, by allowing myself to pop. In a sense, all things are created twice: once when we conceive a life goal, and again when that goal comes to pass. "My life," as the great Mahatma Gandhi said, "is my message."
