There were 31 total single family sales for the month of December 2011 ranging in price from $179,000 to $2,400,000 Last month, there were 21 total single family home sales. There were 10 more Parkland single family homes sold in the month of December, 2011 than in November, 2011. Among the December sales, 8 were distressed sales (bank foreclosures, short sales, or corporate owned properties). 25% of all sales were distresses ones.

There was a 61% increase in sales from last month.  Many buyers wish to close on their new homes before the end of the year for tax purchases and homestead exemptions.  I believe that there will continue to be more sales in early 2012 due to the increase in buyer activity in the City of Parkland, Florida. But, inventory is still very low in the city.  As a result, potential buyers have less and less homes to choose from.

Also, distressed sales are steadily declining in Parkland.  In December 2011, there were only 8 total distressed sales (bank foreclosures and/or short sales).  Hopefully, as this pattern continues, the overall real estate market in Parkland will stabilize.

Parkland is also a very desirable area to call home as the city is more stable than neighboring areas such as Coral Springs or Coconut Creek. More and more people are looking to call Parkland home and live the Parkland Lifestyle. With excellent schools, many parks, and a plethora of other activities for the entire family to enjoy, Parkland will continue to grow and become one of the most sought-after communities in South Florida.

Every month, I make sure to post each and every single family home sale that takes place in the City of Parkland, Florida. Being a Parkland resident, I know how important is to keep abreast of the monthly real estate sales and market activity. If you would like to see home sales in the past months, please click here.

Parkland Florida Dog Park Barkland Opens

Parkland Florida Dog Park – Barkland Opens To The Public

Parkland’s first dog park, Barkland is now open to the public.  Last Saturday, Barkland had its grand opening.  The park is over two acres in size.  There are two separate areas: one for large dogs and another for smaller dogs.  There is also a dog washing station, water fountain for both pets and humans, covered pavilions to cool off, walking trails, benches and picnic tables, and dog play equipment that includes tunnels and agility elements.

Broward County Animal Care setup a booth at the grand opening and offered a low cost Rabies vaccination against rabies for only $15.00, as well as a Broward County pet license tag.  The event received a great turnout.  Many Parkland residents brought their dogs to enjoy the new park.  Now, Parkland adds another park to its large list, but this time for man’s best friend.

Barkland is located at: 9245 Ranch Road, Parkland, FL 33067.  Barkland sponsorship opportunities are still available for individuals and businesses. For more information please contact Scott Davidoff at sdavidoff@cityofparkland.org.

Parkland Real Estate Agent Michael Citron Quoted In Sun Sentinel

Parkland Florida Realtor Michael Citron Quoted In Sun Sentinel For Housing Strategies For 2012

Parkland and South Florida Realtor Michael Citron was quoted in yesterday’s Sun-Sentinel article entitled: South Florida housing strategies for 2012.  It appears that the housing market collapse is fading away bringing a stronger and more stable market in the coming months and years, especially in more stable communities like Parkland, Florida.

Home sales in Parkland and South Florida are on the rise, as the real estate bottom nears.  But, the shadow inventory of bank foreclosures soon to hit the market and less than stellar job market could prolong the recovery.  Sun-Sentinel reporter, Paul Owers, provides a guide to help both buyers and sellers, and homeowners “underwater” on their current mortgages in 2012:

Sellers:

DO: Consider selling early in 2012, before foreclosures hit the market
DON’T: Try to attract buyers with cars, cash or most other incentives

Underwater Borrowers

DO: Plan now if you’re considering a short sale
DON’T: Think you’re necessarily stuck with an underwater mortgage

I was quoted in the Sentinel article giving advice to potential buyers in 2012:

DO: Write a letter to the seller, explaining why you want the home

DON’T: Sound desperate or let the seller know how much of a mortgage you’re approved for

If you’re writing to a lender, be sure to explain that you’re pre-approved for a mortgage and can close quickly, Broward County (and Parkland) real estate agent Michael Citron said. If the seller is the existing homeowner, go into more personal detail.  “If the home has a pool, tell them that you hope your kids can learn to swim in that pool,” Citron said. “A regular seller wants to know the buyer will appreciate the house as much as they did.”

If you are thinking about selling or buying a home, it has never been a better time to make a move in real estate for 2012.  To read the complete Sun-Sentinel article, please click here It is a honor and privilege to be considered as a local real estate expert.  I look forward to working with the Parkland and South Florida community for all of your real estate needs in 2012.
