Sarasota Real Estate: Buy Now or Buy Never

June 13th, 2013

The Sarasota Real Estate industry is very often scrutinized for usually displaying a Pollyanna attitude about the real estate market. Most home owners believe that the Sarasota market strategy ‘to buy or sell now’ is nothing more than a tactic to scare everyone in to moving to create a greater commission for them self. There is only one way to find out if this is true or not, so let’s take a quick look at some numbers to see if what we are hearing is actually truthful to what they are saying.

The ‘cost of any newly purchased or bought home is figured by two major components: the actual price of the home and the current mortgage rate. In accordance with the most recent Case-Shiller Home Pricing Index, real estate values have risen a total of over 10% in the last year alone. If we look at Freddie Macs Weekly Primary Mortgage Market Survey®, the highly sought after 30 year mortgage rate has also substantially increased from 3.67% to 3.91% during that exact same one year period.

The table displayed below shows the difference between the cost of the same exact Orlando real estate over the previous twelve months: We can now see that the advice given by Team Works Real Estate of Keller Williams On The Water to buy one year ago made complete financial sense for anyone looking to move.

What Can We Expect From Sarasota Real Estate In The Future?

Most real estate experts are not only stating that prices will continue to rise day after day, but are also substantially upgrading their current forecast as the housing market is displaying very strong signs that it is fully recovering. In regards to the infamous interest rates, the popular 30 year mortgage rate has rapidly increased by over a half point since this year began in January and most real estate agents, brokers, writers and experts are under the assumption that the increases on all things Sarasota Real Estate will continue. Even those who are trying to be the ultimate voice of reasoning on this newly discovered issue are even projecting higher rates. To give you an idea from a mortgage analyst point of view, Polyana da Costa, senior mortgage analyst at Bankrate.com said: “Rates are unlikely to keep going up so quickly and should remain below 5 percent.”

The Sarasota Real Estate Bottom Line

Hearing that now is the time to buy and sell is not a sales pitch, it is the truth. The market is low on inventory and high on buyers. Bidding wars are on the rise and if you list a property, you better expect to get multiple offers and fast. Cash offers are flooding the market and those looking to just purchase a home are getting beat out left and right by higher offers. The way we see it, the house is the newest iPad and you are selling yours. Look for multiple bids and the highest will win.

Team Works Real Estate is the place to allow sell your home. With a team of over 10 realtors, markters and administrative assistants, your property will get the attention it deserves and the time it needs to sell fast. With the way the market is right now, the sooner you list your home, the faster it will sell. To make it even more enticing, multiple offers are given on each home and you can expect a bidding war to occur within weeks. Let Team Works Real Estate take care of you and allow you to enjoy the ease of your Sarasota real estate sale!

Top Tips For Moving With Children In Sarasota Florida

May 24th, 2013

Moving from your Sarasota home is a extremely complicated and long process, but it unfortunately be very difficult for the young ones. Around the time that we become adults, most of us have had the opportunity of living in a various areas. However, for your children, the home and surrounding neighborhood that you are currently moving away from could be the only place that they have ultimately ever lived in.

If moving is making you feel a little bit overwhelmed — don’t worry!  These helpful tips will make moving from your current Sarasota Real Estate to your next Sarasota home that much simpler:

1. Communicate About Your Move
Children ultimately like short lived surprises and one that lasts for a long time may be a little bit of a shock to them. Take them out to eat and discuss the new changes over dinner. If they are in an environment that they enjoy, this may come to be a more enjoyable announcement than if in the home that they will be leaving soon.

2. Make Room Picking Plans
When you tell the kids that you will be moving to a new place, it may be ideal to show them images of what their new rooms will look like. Nothing excites children more than seeing a new shiny object. This new room will open up their imagination and allow them to let their creativity run wild with how they can transform their current bedroom in to a new masterpiece

3. Make a Map of Surroundings
Kids are a big fan of adventures. This new move could be the biggest adventure of their life so far. Map out all the locations that they might enjoy and take them on your own “adventure”. Sarasota, Florida has multiple prestigious and fun locations that you can take your children to that may excite them for the long journey ahead.

4. Research and Visit New Schools
When moving, there is a possibility that your children may have to leave their current school and friends and start over at another location in Sarasota. If this occurs, the best thing to do is research what school they will be attending and who their teacher will be. You may also be able to arrange a meet and greet with the teacher and classmates before the student starts at that school so they can get used to the new surroundings.

5. Get Your Children Involved With The Move
Children will obviously not be doing most of the heavy moving, but that does not mean that they cannot help along the way. By getting them involved, you can ultimately encourage them to only choose the toys and items that have the utmost importance to them and donate the others to a charity or faith based organization. Sarasota has multiple Goodwill’s, Boys and Girls Clubs and Churches to donate your used toys to.

6. “See You Soon” Party
You never really want to move on, but it is an essential part in every persons life to grow. The hardest part of moving is saying goodbye to the memories you have made of the past months or years. Every inch of that home, neighborhood, city and surrounding has sentimental meaning. Instead of having a tradition Moving or Goodbye Party, have a “See you soon” Party instead. This allows for children to not feel like they are losing what was once a large part of them and they will feel much better knowing they can see them again.

Team Works Real Estate knows that moving is never easy, and the buying and selling of your Sarasota real estate is not always that easy either. We strive to make this process enjoyable and easy for you so the children and loved ones in your life can feel the same way. As the number one team of Keller Williams On The Water, we are here to help you and will make the Sarasota real estate process easier along the way!
