We are coming into a good season to sell...
November 7th, 2007 12:58 AM

Ok, it looks like we are coming into our hot selling season...the holiday season.  It is quite simple really, from now until around March we have all of our Snow Bird friends arrive here in Brevard either for a vacation or to stay in their 2nd home...they also bring friends and family in for the Holidays...so if you are thing about selling now is a great time...

Last month Brevard Real Estate sales rose slightly from 296 in September to 337 in October and presently we have 7500 homes on the market.  That means that around 4% of the homes on the market sold last month. 

Folks here is the reality...value in the market is going to continue to decline.  All indicators are we will not even find "bottom" and start to level out for another 2 -3 years.  Some say prices will probably end up where they were in 2000 before we return to a normal market with normal activity.  That being said, if you want to or need to sell, selling sooner is better than later if you want to protect the "real" equity you have in your home.  I will show you exactly how to do this in a declining market.

A quick update on short sales in Brevard County Florida...if you or someone you know are possibly facing foreclosure and would like to know about your alternatives just give me a call and I will let you know what a local attorney has to say about short sales. I will be happy to go over it in detail...I have an in depth recording that details all the ins and outs of short sales and exactly what it means to to a seller and how it will affect your life and finances.  Just give me a call at 321-693-0771.

Have a good one,

Larry Fleckinger

The Holidays in Brevard is a GREAT time to sell!
November 27th, 2007 4:27 AM

I hope everyone had a Happy safe Thanksgiving...we sure did!

Did you know the one of the BEST times of the year to sell your home is during the Holidays...Brevard real estate has a better chance of selling during the Holidays...here are some of the reasons you should list and sell your Brevard home now.

1. People who look for a home during the Holidays are more serious buyers!

2. Serious buyers have fewer houses to choose from during the Holidays and less competition means more money for you! 

3. 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!

4. Houses show better when decorated for the Holidays!

5. Buyers are more emotional during the Holidays, so they are more likely to pay your price!

6. Buyers have more time to look for a home during the Holidays than they do during a working week!

7. Some people must buy before the end of the year for tax reasons!

8. January is traditionally the month for employees to begin new jobs. Since transferees cannot wait until Spring to buy, you must be on the market now to capture that market!

9. You can still be on the market, but you have the option to restrict showings during the six or seven days during the Holidays!

10. You can sell now for more money and we will provide for a delayed closing or extended occupancy until early next year!

11. By selling now, you may have an opportunity to be a non-contingent buyer during the Spring, when many more houses are on the market for less money! This will allow you to sell high and buy low!

Happy Holidays!

Happy Thanksgiving!
November 21st, 2007 5:01 AM

Well tomorrow is our day to be Thankful for all we have and I thought that I would post some positive thoughts instead of talking about Brevard Real Estate. (I personally wake up every morning and give thanks for all I have)

I am thankful for and blessed with a lovely wife (Karen), 2 beautiful daughters (Haley and Casey), an awesome son (Taylor), a fun and healthy grandchild (Brayden) and GREAT parents (Lawrence and Fran Fleckinger) and all of my extended family and friends. 

I am thankful for my health and all that God has blessed me with in my lifetime.

I am thankful to be living in a country where, even though things are not perfect, we are blessed to have the opportunity to express our thoughts and worship without persecution.  We have so many opportunities to succeed in this country and are only held back by our negative thoughts and what we believe we can accomplish. 

Finally, I would like to say a prayer for and thank ALL of the men and women who have sacrificed their lives to allow us to have the Freedom we have in this country.  May God bless them and their families as they continue to protect our freedom and our country.

Have a Happy Blessed Thanksgiving.

Larry Fleckinger
