How To Profit From Today's Real-Estate Market

Speculators drove up the home prices in Florida in 2004, 2005 and the first quarter of 2006. Suddenly the situation changed dramatically, as many experts had predicted. Many speculators and even Realtors^® did not believe in a market change and brought the same arguments you heard during the DOT.COM bubble.

The situation changed when builders experienced a large number of cancellation of orders on homes under construction, which were sold sometimes with large incentives.

Prices came down in Florida. This does NOT mean that every seller reduced his or her listing price, some even today ask for 50% above the 2005 prices, which is unrealistic. Other sellers have to sell and list their properties at the market or slightly below:

Investors, who wanted to flip the property and cannot afford to pay a mortgage for a long time on a vacant home.
Builders who build so called "Spec Homes" without having any order for them as they assumed they would sell or for homes with cancelled contracts. In most cases the builder keeps the 5% to 20% down-payment on cancelled contracts. The builders h a v e to sell their homes, sometimes with great incentives and price reductions. In some areas last years cancellations were up to 42% on orders for some builders. Although the percentage of cancellations is lower now, there are still great opportunities out there.
Sellers who are relocating and bought their house five or ten years ago can afford to price the home at the lowest point of the market, or slightly below, and still make a great profit. These homes are usually selling fast.
Sellers who have financed their homes with "creative mortgages" who cannot afford the payments and try to avoid foreclosure.

You need a Realtor^®, who knows the local markets and is working as a professional in the real-estate market for many years and has seen up and down markets. Florida-Online-Realty.Com, Inc. and all Realtors^® working for this firm would like to work for you and your best interest as "buyers' brokers" and NOT for the sellers.
Florida-Online-Realty decided two years ago not to grow fast by hiring a large number of unexperienced salespeople, but instead to keep offering great customer service with a small team of dedicated professional Realtors^®.

Only an informed customer can make the right decision. Therefore we

let you search the mls and not only "OUR" listings like some brokers do.
assist you with a very detailed search (we have more detailed search criteria than you have on the mls to search the database) and e-mail or mail you the properties that are what you are looking for.

Please note: You can take advantage of the current market situation by buying homes that are right for long-term investments or to live there or use it as a second home. In today's market you cannot buy and flip homes with a large profit, this only works in markets where prices go up fast.
