I was talking with a friend of mine yesterday about how I believe we are coming into the most significant financial period of change that will occur during my lifetime. The opportunities that are here now and will continue as we work to rid the market of the glut of homes will be seen one [...]

We have received so many inquiries via our new Tallahassee Foreclosures Web Site about purchasing Tallahassee foreclosures that I am feeling like a recorded message. Many buyers want the perceived deals that “foreclosures” imply, so I figured I would lay out some advice that really fits our current times.

The number of homes labeled as “Distressed Property” continues to grow in the Tallahassee real estate market.

Even though I’m on the road in San Antonio, I still keep an eye on the inventory trends in the Tallahassee real estate market. One trend lately has been disturbing and that is the 30-day trend. The graph below shows that inventories (the number of homes for sale in Tallahassee) has been growing for 35 [...]

Five months in a row we have seen year over year home sales improve in Florida. This is good. This is wonderful. But this has not yet made it uphill to Tallahasseee. Last week we reported in the Tallahassee Real Estate Blog that Tallahassee had just experienced 31 straight months of year-over-year declines in home [...]
