There were 19 total sales for the month of February, 2010 ranging in price from $216,000 to $1,650,000.  Of the total sales in the month of February, 11 were regular sales, 5 were short sales, and 3 were bank foreclosure sales.

Good news is that Parkland had 9 more total single family home sales in February than in January of this year. We have increased our sales momentum, which is good for our overall market.

Unfortunately, of the total 19 sales, 8 of them were distressed sales which proves that short sales and bank foreclosures will continue to have a negative impact on the real estate market.

On a brighter note, we expect to see more sales in the next three months as sales momentum from buyers should increase due to low interest rates, the $8,000 first time home buyer tax credit, and knowing that FHA mortgage guidelines will tighten in the Spring and Summer months making now the best time to get off the fence and buy a Parkland home.

We are also proud to announce the closing of our Pine Tree Estates listing located at: 6920 NW 66TH AV, Parkland, FL 33067 in the month of February.

When a home seller decides to list his/her home on the market, they practically open their doors to any and all potential buyers.  Homes become our private sanctuaries, and most people like their privacy!  Also, many family memories are shared in homes during the years of ownership.  We become personally attached to our homes as they are apart of our lives.

But, when listing your home on the market, sellers must separate their personal relationship to their homes and start thinking that selling their homes is a business decision, NOT a personal one!

One of our sellers cannot seem to separate his personal attachment to his property when negotiating multiple buyer offers on his property.  We understand the many memories and personal feelings that his family has regarding why they truly believe that their home is special.

Unfortunately, current buyers do not put the same dollar amount on personal attachment, as they are merely looking at the numbers and the features and benefits of the home.  With so many online tools available to potential buyers, sellers truly need to cut the umbilical cord!

Sellers also say that they need a certain amount of money to net from the sale of the home for moving and living expenses.  Again, buyers are not going to pay more than fair market value!  Do buyers care how much money the sellers need?  No!  Buyers have to worry about their own financial expenses.  Isn’t it still a buyer’s market?

But, Senator Johnny Isakson, former real estate agent and last year’s advocate for the 2nd extension, is not on board.  Last November, Linda Goold, NAR’s director of tax policy practically told the public and Realtors that the second tax credit extension would be the last one.

Can the government afford to extend the tax credit for a third term?  Where are we getting all of this money since are deficit is at a record high level?

If the government extends the tax credit for a third time, it will help the real estate market.  But, when the credit was extended in November, many buyers went “back on the fence” knowing that they had more time to purchase and still receive the $8,000 tax credit.  Sales in November to February have been slow as buyers have more time to wait.

If the government announces that there will be no further extension, then there will be a strong urgency for potential buyers to purchase properties by the March 31st deadline!  Please read my article on the tax credit guidelines by clicking:  FHA Mortgage Guidelines Will Tighten In The Spring

Is buying a home a good investment?  Should I instead put my money in the stock market that seems to be rebounding?  These are all questions that potential buyers are pondering as they sit on the real estate fence concerned if their real estate investment could be a profitable investment.

I recently read an article by MSN Money.com that studied the period from the beginning of 2000 to the end of 2010 of the stock market versus the real estate market.  Above, please see their chart proving that real estate is the best long term investment.

If you would have invested $100,000 of your hard earned money in the Dow in 2000, you would have lost $5,000 and now be left with $95,000.  Think that is upsetting, then take a look at the S&P 500.  If you would have invested that same $100,000 in the S&P 500 in 2000, you would have taken a $20,000 loss and be left with only $80,000.  Worst of the bunch would have been the NASDAQ.  Invest your $100,000 inheritance in technology stocks, and you would have lost 40% of your money and only have $60,000 left to show for.

But despite all of the media buzz of the crash in the national real estate market in the past five years, if you would have taken the $100,000 and invested in the real estate property in January of 2000, you would have made $50,000 by the end of 2009 and have $150,000 in your pocket.

Of course, real estate is not like the stock market!  If you are looking for a quick return on your investment, then real estate is not for you.  But, if you are looking for a long-term investment with excellent returns, real estate is and always will be the best return on your investment for you and your family.

In the current real estate market, many of our clients are experiencing hardship such as a divorce, death in the family, or recent job loss.  As a real estate consultant, we have to be patient and help our clients throughout the entire process.  Many times we have to put on our psychology hats and really listen to our clients current situation and help them make the best life decision, which may not only be a real estate issue.

When clients do not return phone calls or sometimes do not value our time, we now take a step back and remember that their actions may not have anything to do with real estate.  There are many personal issues that seem to arise during the process of buying or selling that may result in our clients becoming frustrated or emotional.  As real estate consultants, we do not always know what is going on behind closed doors.

As a result, we must not take it personally and only think about ME.  Instead, our team takes a different approach that involves a WE relationship with our clients.  We understand that buying or selling a home is a team effort no matter how you look at it.  We must have a very personable relationship with our clients and be accessible throughout the entire process in order for our clients to feel as comfortable as humanly possible.
