Holiday Home Sellers
Buck the trend! Don’t wait for spring to list your home. Although home sales are customarily robust in the spring, there are no hard and fast rules in today’s unpredictable real estate climate.
 As a, Selleryou need to consider every avenue for a successful sale. Home sale listings generally dip in the fall and winter months as sellers are busy this time of year with holidays. Assuming buyers are busy, Sellersoften opt to stave off listing until the spring or, suspend their active listing. |

Welcoming Fall ... South Florida Style!
Valerie Anne Martinetti
As we welcome cooler temperatures and pumpkin-spiced lattes to our daily routine, the amber hues of autumn will soon pepper much of our United States. Well, with one distinct exception… South Florida.
That doesn’t mean we cannot get into the autumnal spirit here in the land of year-round sun and fun. In South Florida, we can welcome fall into our lives just like our neighbors to the north, sans the bulky sweaters and boots. A touch of nature adds a warm, cozy addition to any décor. |

Did you know that more than half of all annual home sales will take place between May and August? Before we all get busy with back-to-school and the onset of the holiday season, this window is the perfect opportunity tomake a move.
Buyershave a unique opportunity to take advantage of historically low interest rates. The nightly news consistently warns us, rates will eventually tick upward as the housing market recovers.Buyersare poised to lock into these low interest loans for the 2014 selling season. |

Mandatory Equity Membership:Points to Ponder
Mandatory Equity Membership is associated with golf course communities requiring homeowners to purchase a club membership when they buy a home. This membership entitles them to use the facilities and own a portion of the golf club.
There is a mandatory equity membership fee and at times, an initiation fee; these can range anywhere from $5000.00 to $250,000.00, dependent upon exclusivity. Some clubs separate the fee into an amount that represents the refundable equity interest and one that represents a contribution to capital that is not refundable. |
