Parkland Real Estate Market Update For November 2009

31 Parkland Single Family Sales In November, 2009

There were 31 total single family sales in Parkland ranging from $280,000 to 1.2 million.  13 were Short Sales, 6 Foreclosures, and 12 Regular Sales.  39% of the homes that sold were Regular Sales, and 61% were Distressed Sales.

There were 13 more sales in the month of November than in the month of October, which is great news! Other exciting news is that there were many sales this past month in both Heron Bay and Parkland Golf & Country Club.  16 Sales alone were in Heron Bay, and 6 Sales were in Parkland Golf & Country Club.  These two communities have been affected by Chinese Drywall, and FINALLY both communities are showing signs of life in closed sales!  Both communities offer tremendous amounts of upgrades and resort-style amenities for residents.

With 61% of ALL sales being foreclosures and short sales, this trend will certainly continue into the New Year.  Overall, I am very pleased with an increase in sales for the month of November.  Sales are actually picking up, and I hope this trend continues into 2010!

Buying A Parkland Home Near Power Lines?

Does Living Near Powerlines Cause Cancer?

Recently, we have sold a few homes in Parkland that backup to the power lines.  We have received questions from potential Parkland buyers concerning the safety of living close to power lines.  The debate arises from the powerful but invisible electro-magnetic fields (EMF) caused when electricity passes through power lines.  EMF is also generated by our common household appliances such as our televisions, cell phones, computers, alarm clocks, and countless other items in our homes.

There has been extensive research performed by major health organizations such as the National Cancer Institute, the National Research Council, and the National Institutes of Health.  All of the reputable studies have concluded that there is no conclusive evidence that EMF exposure poses any cancerous or other negative health effects to homeowners that live near high voltage power lines.

Would We Personally Recommend Buying Homes On Power Lines?

There will always be clients that will never want to live on or even near power lines.  We believe it is a personal choice and would encourage a client to buy a property if the home met their purchasing criteria.  With the amount of time that we all spend on our cell phones and in front of our tv’s, as well as the extensive research in the past five years, we would move forward with buying a home on the power lines.

5 Reasons To Buy A Home During The Holidays

Tis The Season To Buy A New Home! As the holiday season approach, many potential buyers should have a new home on Santa’s wish list.  We all are looking for great holiday deals.  Well … Here are:

5 Reasons To Buy A Home During The Holiday Season

1. LOW Interest Rates: Interest rates and prices are at all-time record lows.  Historically, interest rates are usually at their lowest during November through January due to the slowdown in the market.

2.  Motivated Sellers: Many sellers are motivated to sell their homes before the end of the year for tax purposes.  As a buyer, you will have even more negotiating power to get a great deal!

3. Slower Market: With the buzz of the holiday, many people are traveling and busy gift shopping.  Typically, November and December are the slowest real estate months.  Savvy buyers will have less competition and be able to scoop up a great bargain from motivated sellers.

4.  Faster Closings: During this slow holiday period for real estate, lenders are NOT inundated with many deals to close.  As a result, your mortgage will receive more attention and be able to get done faster.  This will lead to less headaches and receiving the keys to your dream home more quickly!  Bank foreclosures are also easier to purchase during the holidays as there are less competing buyers.

5.  Tax Deductions: Many closing costs and taxes are tax deductible during the year that you close on your home.  Speak with your accountant.  You may be able to deduct the interest on your first mortgage payment from your taxable income.  Also, you may be able to deduct the points paid on buying down your mortgage rate.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year to go out and buy a home!  If you are serious about buying a property in the near future, NOW may be the best time to get the ultimate holiday deal.  I promise that you won’t have to sleep overnight for Real Estate Black Friday!
