Create An Outdoor Dining Space and Add Value
When you buy a Clearwater Beach Home For Sale, you have many choices to make when it comes to prioritizing the items on your personalization list. One way to enhance your enjoyment of the property, as well as add to the value of the home, is to create or renovate an outdoor dining space. What could be nicer than having a place where friends and family can gather and enjoy a few drinks, barbecue up some tasty food and breathe the fresh air?
Here are some tips to keep in mind when adding or updating an outdoor dining space to your Clearwater Beach Home For Sale:
1. Choose the right location. You want your Clearwater Beach Home For Sale backyard dining area to be peaceful, quiet and private, so find the best spot on your yard that will be screened from view and sheltered from noise.
2. Clear a space. Choose an open area where you can place the outdoor dining table. If you put it underneath a tree, you run the risk of having leaves, sap, or insects drop into your food!
3. Lay the groundwork. Create a patio surface with stones or tiles first, which will give you a stable and flat place to put your table, chairs and barbecue.
4. Invest in sturdy furniture. Outdoor tables and chairs take a lot more wear from rain, sun, and the elements than their indoor cousins. Make sure you buy solid items that will last you many years.
5. Create some shade. If you want to enjoy yourself even in the direct heat of the afternoon, add a sun umbrella to your table. There are many different styles, and many can be adjusted and tilted to provide shade as the sun moves through the sky.
6. Make sure outdoor kitchen or barbecue is safe. Check that it is nowhere near anything flammable, or that it is not too close to trees or the side of the house.
7. Decorate and set the scene. Improve the surroundings of your backyard dining room with flowers, a fountain or a rock garden.
Once you have created the ideal outdoor space, it’s time to invite some good friends over to have a few drinks, and enjoy the results.

Updated Appliances Key in Clearwater Beach Home Sales
If you are trying thinking about selling your Clearwater Beach Homes For Sale this year, then be sure to think about your appliances and how they add or subtract from your home. Buyers may be looking for a home that is move-in ready, while other buyers are looking for a home that needs some work, so they can get a good deal and personalize the home. If your home is in the needs-work category, then you probably know the offers you receive will be lower, but sometimes the offers are much lower than you anticipated.
Today‘s topic is appliances and some advice on what to do before you list your Clearwater Beach Homes For Sale:
1. If you have older appliances, then upgrading them help you get higher offers for your home. One tip is to leave the new stickers or labels on the appliances, so it will be obvious to the buyers the appliances are new. If your appliances are just a few years old, then a home warranty that covers maintenance is a good way to make the buyers feel comfortable. Our recommendation is to have a home inspection before you list your property, and have the inspector tell you how much life is left in your appliances. This will help you determine if a home warranty or replacement is the way to go for the price you seek.
2. If you replace appliances, then use stainless steel. Clearwater Beach Homes For Sale sellers may be concerned that stainless steel requires more cleaning to look their best for showings. Keep in mind that stainless steel appliances are the most popular choice among buyers. Buyers often comment that the stainless steel appliances look luxurious; even if the kitchen has no other updates.
3. If you replace appliances, then purchase the most energy efficient ones in your budget. As you know, many buyers are putting together a budget when they are looking at homes, and they may be looking for energy efficient appliances.
Sellers in Clearwater Beach today have many options in their choice of REALTOR®. If you’re preparing to sell your home, I hope you will consider inviting me to put my world-class resources to work for you!

Are Clearwater Beach Condo Sales Taking a Dip?
By now, most people have gotten used to seeing Clearwater Beach Condos For Sale on the rise. Aided by the national recovery and historically low mortgage rates, it’s been the same almost everywhere in the country. So it may have been unsettling to some when the National Association of Realtorsรข
reported that in June, home sales notched down by about 1.2%. As the month begins and we wait for the final July numbers to come in, local homeowners considering listing their home may be wondering what that drop could mean.
The safest answer is probably, “not much.” CNN Money thinks it’s just fallout from the rise in mortgage rates. Related factors are the continuing shrinkage in foreclosures and short sales and a general shortage of inventory (NAR reports about 8% fewer homes than during the same period a year ago). In fact, some studies suggest that the slower sales pace was simply due to that lack of inventory. It could be worrisome...unless you are an owner who’s been waiting for Clearwater Beach Condos For Sale prices to rise.
The factors seem to funnel into a single effect: compared with the landmark bargains we’ve gotten used to as Clearwater Beach Condos For Sale market recovers, the drift is toward more mortgage for less house. Even so, last month’s home sales were still the second highest since November of 2009 — up more than 13% from June, 2012! For the past 3½ years since May, the realty business in general has been doing quite nicely, thank you.
Although the mortgage rate increase may tend to slow down the pace of Clearwater Beach Condos For Sale sales over the coming months, when you take a step back to look at the trends, the direction is reassuring. If you’re considering listing a condo, it’s good to remember that although the graphs may go up and down, most experts agree that the recovery trend can be expected to continue to rise. If you’re thinking of selling your Clearwater Beach Condos For Sale, a solid first move is to call me for an up-to-date price evaluation – and we can take it from there!

Clearwater Beach Home Selling Basics
Clearwater Beach home selling is not much different from home selling in any other luxury community: the concepts haven’t changed through the years. So when a homeowner watches a -- Just Sold -- sign go up, they think it can't be as nice as their property.
The answer is usually very simple. If you want your own Clearwater Beach home selling campaign to be a smooth one, then here is some advice:
1. De-personalize your home. Specifically, take down family photos from the walls of your Clearwater beach home for sale and store them. The pictures of kids and vacations posted in your stairwell are great memories, but not for buyers. You want the buyer to see the home as their home, so your goal is to showcase the property and not your family album.
2. Put clothes in storage. Make sure you have checked every closet to make sure you only have current season clothes on display and store the other seasons somewhere else in your Clearwater beach home for sale. Cluttered closets make the closets look small, but well planned closets give the appearance of plenty of closet space. So, get busy loading storage boxes.
3. Ask me for my input. If you ask my opinion, I will tell you if your Clearwater beach home for sale looks when compared to the other current listings and homes sold in Clearwater Beach. We are on the same team, so you get the best of both worlds: real, comparisons with competing Clearwater Beach homes for sale, a professional appraisal from a licensed appraiser, a professional home inspection from a licensed home inspector and professional staging suggestions for how to further improve your property’s marketplace value.
Preparing to sell a home can seem like a big job at first, but once you start, with my assistance and a few guidelines, the process will be in full in motion. It is important to know that the better your home shows, the more money you are likely to receive. It all starts when you give me a call!

Grabbing a Clearwater Beach Second Property Now
For many of us, the idea of owning a Clearwater Beach Condos For Sale as a second home has always seemed like a great long-term investment idea.
For a long time, it seemed as tough the market would never stop going up, but we all know the market moves in cycles and that the market would make a correction at some point. Then, last year, we had low mortgage rates and the prices for beach property started to go a little higher. We told our buyers that it was a good time to purchase because the market could go higher, but many buyers decided to wait for the market to drop again and let some really good bargains on Clearwater Beach Condos For Sale go to another buyer.
This year, we still see a rising market for Clearwater Beach Condos For Sale
and we are telling our buyers to make a purchase because we think the market could go higher. We see many opportunities to purchase a second home, a vacation home, an income producing property, a long term equity.
We think it makes sense to purchase in a flat market or one that is appreciating slowly. You can make a lot of money with an early purchase in a rising market and this year could be one of those years. Unfortunately, many buyers try to catch the bottom of a market and wait to long to make a long term purchase of a Clearwater Beach Condos For Sale. When you combine relatively low mortgage rates with an appreciating market, then we think it is a good time to purchase.
One thing that we know to be true is that there are some great buys in this market place and the prices will probably go higher.

Clearwater Beach FSBO Home Buyers Need A Good Agent
According to the National Association of Realtors, last year the number of For Sale By Owner (FSBO) properties declined 14%. While that decline is substantial, Clearwater Beach Condos For Sale FSBO properties are still available, and you might find one of them is right for you.
Just know that you should be cautious when thinking about buying one, and also be thinking about calling us to be your Clearwater Beach buyer’s agent to represent you in the purchase. Just know it does not cost you to hire us; the homeowner pays for our services. Here are more reasons why you need us:
1. The Clearwater Beach Condos For Sale FSBO seller may not understand their responsibility to disclose material defects in the property. If they had hired a real estate agent to list their property, the listing agent would have explained their responsibilities and documented any problems. Since the seller does not have an agent, it is important that you have us bring our team of professionals to make sure problems are identified and the price adjusted accordingly.
2. The typical The Clearwater Beach Condos For Sale FSBO is overpriced for the marketplace and will not appraise. From the latest estimates, the typical Clearwater Beach Condos For Sale FSBO properties are about 10 to 20% overpriced. Many owners in Clearwater Beach are overpricing their property for many reasons, and we go to work for you to determine the correct price range for the property. It is unfortunate, but many of these sellers are not really motivated to sell their property at market value, and will hold fast to their asking price if you cannot help them understand the market value. This is where we step in to provide all the data the seller needs to understand the current market value of their beautiful property.
3. Most people are not attorneys that specialize in real estate law, so we step in to make sure you understand the contractual problems you may face during the purchase process. Many buyers don’t understand their rights when it comes to working with the seller and unknowingly forfeit those rights. We make sure the correct legal documents are In place and professional reviews occur throughout the buying process to protect you.
If you are looking at a Clearwater Beach Condos For Sale FSBO, you can save yourself a lot of problems and sleepless nights by contacting us before you contact the owner.

Your Clearwater Beach Home Will Sell Faster
Once you put your Clearwater Beach Home For Sale on the market, you need to focus, along with your agent, on getting it sold. Many sellers do not realize that they have a big role in this process, so I put together a couple of ideas that will help you move effortlessly through the selling process to sold.
1. Don't stay around for the showings. Realize that the buyer is looking through emotional eyes when they look at your Clearwater Beach Home For Sale. Your goal should be to have the buyer stay for a long time, so that they can see all of the beautiful features of your home. The longer the buyers stay, the more likely they are to start seeing the home as their own. My advice is to go for a walk or go shopping, but do not be on the property for the showing.
2. Be flexible, so you get all possible showings. I can tell you that it only takes one buyer falling in love with your Clearwater Beach Home For Sale to get it sold. I have seen this happen many times, so here is just one example to explain what I mean: I was selling a vacant property, so I could show the home when it was convenient for the buyers. I made myself available to the show the home when someone called to see the property. Most of the buyers did not like something about the home (sound familiar), but one buyer called while sitting in front of the home. This buyer asked if they could see the home now, so I hopped in the car and showed the property. This is the buyer who purchased the home. My advice is to find a way to be ready for any showing even when it is inconvenient.
Selling your Clearwater Beach Home For Sale and working to attract top dollar for your property — is my business. Call anytime to discuss how I will get the sold sign in your yard.

Headlines Boost Prospects for Selling Your Home
If you’re thinking of selling your Clearwater Beach Homes For Sale, you’re likely to have already considered different approaches to making it stand out from other properties. Will you repaint in the entryway? Stage the living spaces? Should you upgrade the appliances — or leave them as is to keep the asking price as low as possible?
Those are all pivotal decisions, and I would be delighted to offer advice on how each is likely to affect the sales effort. But there is also a less prominent element you may not have considered: the impact the text of your advertising will have on your marketing and – potentially – the overall results. The regimented way listings are presented tend to impart them with a similarity that may not be warranted. Overcoming that effect can make your message draw attention…and prospects.
According to real estate conversion content specialist Karen Hutton, next to the main photograph, the headline is everything. Hutton’s territory is Queensland, Australia, which goes to show how universal marketing truths are. Says Hutton of the headline tactic, “It must arouse curiosity, use meaningful specifics…and be intriguing.”
Here are some ideas?
A perfect marriage of two sales points in just seven words
Go Slow: A Home For Relaxing At Sunset
A lifestyle pitch that sounds entirely credible
A Beach Getaway To Complement Nature
Instant appeal to those who wish they could live at the beach

Clearwater Beach is rated as one of the best beaches in the USA every year. It has beautiful with sandy beaches, Pier 60 for fishing and sunset entertainment, and many great restaurants.
Clearwater Beach is a small welcoming beach town where many families choose to vacation each year. As a matter of fact, that is where my family vacationed each summer, and I was determined to live here when I grew up. Well, we moved here over 20-years ago and just love the area.
You will love the many boats that are available at the Clearwater Beach Marina.

National Mortgage Rates Up — But Purchases Are Still Climbing
For Clearwater Beach Condos For Sale shoppers, it looks like the end for deeply depressed mortgage rates. Nationally, rising rates have temporarily created a downdraft in home loan applications.
According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, mortgage applications fell 4% in the first week of July after plummeting 11.7% the week before. ‘The Market Composite Index’ is the measure of mortgage loan application volume — and it decreased 4.0% from a week earlier (on a seasonally adjusted basis). Altogether, national mortgage applications so far this July are about a third below their level of a year ago.
The drop in applications comes as no surprise to those of us who keep a steady watch on mortgage rate trends. But there is one accompanying fact that wouldn’t have been as predictable. As USA Today notes, “Despite the rise in rates…the four-year average for home purchases continues to climb since it turned upward in November 2011.”
So what do these apparently contradictory stats mean for Clearwater Beach Condos For Sale shoppers preparing to sell or buy?
Whichever part of the equation you fall into, it’s certainly time to get moving and either buy or sell your Clearwater Beach Condo. If you’re considering selling, you will want to put your Clearwater Beach Condos For Sale on the market to take advantage of the still historically low mortgage rates in Clearwater Beach. It’s often the case that rising mortgage rates spur a last-minute home-buying rush. If you’re planning on buying a Clearwater Beach Condos For Sale, then rising mortgage rates are a pretty good indication that it’s time to put the pedal to the metal.
Either way, if you’re thinking of buying or selling in Clearwater Beach, I’m standing by to lend a hand. Give me a call to discuss the full picture — including the latest price movement in area neighborhoods.

Buying a Property in Today’s Exciting Clearwater Beach Market
Buying Clearwater Beach Real Estate means you’ll be joining the club: the home ownership club that Americans have traditionally recognized as emblematic of the fullest community membership. It’s an exciting endeavor — one that ushers in a whole new realm of pride, maturity…and of a truly major commitment.
It’s the show of responsibility that’s the reason Clearwater Beach home ownership bestows automatic respect from the community. It is, after all, unmistakable evidence of long-term stability, as well as commitment to deal with the future with all it holds — known and unknown. That commitment is something all Clearwater Beach Real Estate homeowners share.
Today, buying a Clearwater Beach home means entering a changing market. Still-historically low interest rates continue, but now they have started to rise. Broader lending prospects are improving along with that rise (which is the good news). But especially for first-time buyers, it should also mean that it is doubly important to think of the long term, and to let caution and prudence lead to a buying decision that will prove to be the right choice for the future.
What that means when buying a Clearwater Beach home, especially when taking advantage of an attractive adjustable interest rate (ARM) loan, is to plan for the likelihood that monthly repayments will eventually increase. Before taking advantage of a great deal, consider whether you will be able to manage monthly repayments if they jump by 1, 2 — even 3%. Although it’s only natural to expect that your family income will grow as time passes and professional experience broadens, cautious buyers keep their budget in line with actual current finances. And they make hard-headed estimates of the upkeep expenses that accompany home ownership.
If the past seven years have taught anything about buying a Clearwater Beach home, it’s the advantage of tempering optimism with realism. I’m here to help my clients make educated Clearwater Beach Real Estate decisions for the short term and long term. If you’ve been preparing to make a Clearwater Beach purchase, I hope you will give me a call to meet and discuss your goals and the current market – I’d love to hear from you!

Preparing Your Clearwater Beach Condo for a Virtual Tour
Putting your Clearwater Beach Condo For Sale on the market makes you a key player in a marketing team led by your real estate agent. But you don’t have to attend seminars on salesmanship or study the latest marketing best seller to make valuable contributions to your team: heeding a few guiding principals will take care of that.
One of the most valuable is simply this: great marketers know they should appeal to the widest market possible especially when you cannot put a sign in the front yard. Today, we can attract a much wider market than ever before — from across the nation to (amazingly enough) buyers around the globe! It’s due to an increasingly popular tool: the virtual tour on the Web.
Because a standout virtual tour doesn’t just happen by itself, here are some fundamentals for preparing the most effective Clearwater Beach Condo For Sale virtual tour:
- Disorderly rooms as viewed through any old webcam don’t make the grade. Remember that details you see as assets may be perceived as clutter when viewed through the camera’s lens. This can include personal pictures, books, ornaments and toys. When your home is free from clutter, potential buyers can much more easily picture themselves living in it.
- Make sure your furniture is placed to communicate the appearance of spacious, open areas. This may means being willing to move furniture — even pieces that actually look great in person — away from the middle of the room.
- Since taste is an individual matter, it is hard to present a color scheme that appeals to everyone who views your Clearwater Beach Condo For Sale virtual tour. The most universal rule of thumb is to stick to neutral color combinations. While you may love a vibrant blue wall, others may see it as an unwelcome chore — on extra thing they will have to change were they to purchase your home. In contrast, neutral colors can present a blank canvass.
Getting your virtual tour right means showing a pleasing series of comprehensive views that are neat and minimally but attractively furnished. Looking for a Clearwater Beach agent with the right tools to help you sell for top dollar?
I think you will find I am the right choice when you watch and listen to our client testimonial videos at this link:

No matter what triggers your decision to sell, a crucial next step for every homeowner is selecting the Clearwater Beach homes for sale agent who will bring in the best results. If you don’t already have a bead on an agent, there are any number of factors that can help guide your agent choice. Some will be narrowly applicable to your home’s special characteristics, and some will be more universal.
The first consideration should be deciding whether you will be best served by finding a specialist. Perhaps your property cleanly falls into the luxury category, then your first move may be to seek a Clearwater Beach homes for sale agent who has a marketing plan for your luxury property. Know that we are with Sotheby’s International Realty and that means you get the very best marketing plan available in the world-wide real estate market. We promote your property to more websites than any other company, we advertise your property in the Wall Street Journal and The New York Times, we market heavily for buyers and have a large database of buyers looking for properties in the area, and we have over 450-offices world-wide with 12,000 agents showing your property pictures and descriptions to their buyers.
Another approach is to consider what other’s have to say about their Clearwater Beach homes for sale agent. It isn’t always what the agent says about himself of herself that matters; it matters what their clients say about their agent. While many agents have a few written and unsigned reviews, the most dependable way to get a candid and unbiased opinion of an agent is to see client video testimonials from our clients.

In any case, before settling on the Clearwater Beach real estate agent who will be your marketing partner, select someone who will focus attention on your property and not be so busy with 15, 25 or even 100 other listings that your property doesn’t get the attention it deserves.
This is a great time to sell your Clearwater Beach Real Estate, and we promise to focus our attention and vast marketing resources on selling your property for top dollar. If you are preparing to bring your home to market, we always offer you a no-obligation in-home consultation — and always put the strength of our vast Sotheby‘s worldwide network to work for you.

Easing the Move to a New Home in Clearwater Beach
The Census Bureau tells us that 43 million people move households each year. That definitely makes it a Big Business opportunity! You would think that huge commercial empires would have sprung up to take care of every tiny detail for moves to Clearwater Beach Real Estate (for a price), but in truth, those companies generally serve a minority of corporate clients. For most of us, we can plan on being pretty much on our own.
If you are going to be moving to Clearwater Beach Real Estate (or know someone who is), there are a few things you can do to make the move a little easier.
Before you move to your new home, make sure you get ahead of the curve: reserve some advance time getting everything organized. In the process of packing, you’ll work more efficiently if you have more than enough boxes and trash bins at the ready. By having ample storage containers available, you can pack your belongings slowly and in an organized manner.
If you have young children, arrange childcare well in advance of the move. Unless your children are older and able to help, your suspicion that they are not wholly compatible with the moving process will prove to be correct.
Inform your utility providers well in advance of your move. The few minutes spent could give them the option of a smooth transfer of services to your new property — sometimes even avoiding restart service fees.
Let your bank know that you are moving your residence. This will reduce the risk of your sensitive banking info ending up lost in the mail (or in the wrong hands). It also makes it much less likely that your bank will block your account for suspicious activity when you first begin using your cards once you move into your Clearwater Beach Real Estate.
A new Clearwater Beach Real Estate home will be an exciting beginning – so if you’ve already found that home, congrats! If you’re just getting the search started, or are preparing to sell before you find your next, contact me this week to go over your options.
Call me at 727-710-8036 or email me at jackhaydon@gmail.com to discuss properties for sale at the beach, or to receive a free home evaluation for your current property.

Clearwater Beach Condo Listings May Not Be on the MLS
Pocket Listing: Occasionally agents and owners agree to a property from the open market. Reasons vary, but they might already have buyers that want a property similar to this one, or the owner has instructed the agent to only list the property in private marketing channels. Digging for these off-market home listings can require energy and persistence, including regular searching through the websites of independent and luxury brokers, contacting scores of agents, or (a good deal simpler) making sure you work with me to find Clearwater Beach Condos For Sale that are not listed in the mls.
FSBO: This is the “For Sale by Owner” group, and these properties are easier to find. Just check out the Internet for places where the owner has advertised Clearwater Beach Condos For Sale. If you are interested these, then let me know because I have a list of all of these and can show and purchase these properties just like mls properties.
Closely Held Transaction: When transactions are arranged between family members, neighbors, or other acquaintances, they frequently close without appearing on Clearwater Beach Condos For Sale listings.
Expired Listing: When homes aren’t sold within the expected period they can disappear from Clearwater Beach Condos For Sale home listings. These make up most of the hidden home listings that are still available. I stay in contact with these sellers, and can show and purchase these properties just like mls properties.
If you are shopping for a Clearwater Beach Condos For Sale, are just getting started, or are hitting a dead-end in your search, I am here to help you land the right property. Contact me today to see what my network can do for you!

Outdoor Kitchens and Clearwater Beach Home Values
With Clearwater Beach Homes For Sale home values on the rise, it’s natural to follow the urge to get going on outdoor improvement projects. One of my (and many of my buyers) favorite added features is the outdoor kitchen. That temporary folding table you used to see next to the rollaway barbecue is now frequently supplanted by a fully equipped permanent installation.
But if you are planning on selling soon, it’s easy to overdo the outdoor kitchen idea. Clearwater Beach Homes For Sale don’t always return every dollar spent, so with likely investment returns in mind, here are a few guidelines to help you jazz up your outdoor area without breaking the bank.
— Whether you have a large backyard or tiny one, amount of space isn’t what matters as much as the setup. Plan your kitchen so the cook faces toward the entertaining area. When guests can interact while the cooking is going on (and the chef isn’t stuck facing the wall), the fun of outdoor entertaining comes naturally.
— You’re building an outdoor kitchen, so be sure the surfaces are built to withstand the elements. Outdoor-rated appliances and a low-maintenance paint finish on cabinets will combat corrosion, and keep your kitchen looking fresh for when you plan to sell! Also, consider elevating the cabinet so you can more easily hose off underfoot messes.
— An outdoor fireplace can warm memories in even the steeliest of potential buyers. Who doesn’t love thought of warm summer evenings spent gathered around a fire pit? But let’s be practical; a gas fireplace insert is far handier than a real wood-burning fire pit. You don’t need to pay to run a gas line outside either – there are plenty of freestanding gas fireplace models to choose from.
While not likely to bring nearly the same return as a total kitchen remodel, adding simple outdoor kitchens can be a simple way to both enjoy backyard space and increase potential home values in the future. If that future is coming sooner rather than later, do contact me to discuss current Clearwater Beach Homes For Sale home values with you anytime!

Clearwater Beach Real Estate For Sale: Appealing Retirement Investment?
Who doesn’t give a quick second glance when they drive past Clearwater Beach Real Estate For sale? Our curiosity seems almost automatic, even when we ourselves don’t have the slightest inclination to move out of our own home.
For more and more people, there’s a new reason for more serious rubbernecking when they pass one of those ‘FOR SALE’ signs. It’s about retirement.
Boston College’s Center for Retirement Research tells us that Americans’ retirement ages are rising steadily. Gallup has a more significant finding: when current workers expect to retire. At least 40% think their own retirement age will be greater than 65.
That goes along with the underlying concern serious people have about their own income during their golden years. For them, second glances at Clearwater Beach Real Estate For sale may be completely pragmatic: that property might represent a large chunk of their future retirement income.
One of the reasons to give it serious consideration is the rest of the investment landscape. I’m no financial advisor, but I do listen to my clients’ attitudes and concerns. Although interest rates now seem to be on the upswing, at present their savings accounts are earning no real return — it’s hardly even an investment. In contrast, today’s property values look likely to appreciate over the long run.
Then there’s the stock market. After the last few years’ gains, people can hardly be blamed for suspecting the accompanying risk quotient has been growing right along with the returns. On the other hand, appealing Clearwater Beach Real Estate For sale just feels like a comparatively secure investment. Properties don’t just disappear!
Evaluating a property for sale through the prism of its retirement value doesn’t mean it can’t contribute returns long before then. Renting it out on a residential or vacation basis can provide an extra income stream at any time, sometimes with associated tax benefits.
Consulting a trusted financial advisor is the prudent first step when considering the option of Clearwater Beach Real Estate For sale as an investment. Then I’ll be here to contribute my local expertise — and, we’ve got some terrific prospects to choose from!

REO Bargains in Clearwater Beach Require Thorough Assessment
Clearwater Beach REO bargains can’t help but catch your eye when you’re searching through the latest Clearwater Beach Homes For Sale. Whether you are a future homeowner or an investor looking for an opportunity that makes financial sense, bargain basement prices are hard to skip past.
Clearwater Beach REO homes (the “REO” is Real Estate Owned, meaning bank-owned) are still being offered at relatively low prices — sometimes, remarkably low prices. But like skilled investors in any realm, successful Clearwater Beach REO buyers make sure they know why those prices are where they are. In the REO world, the standout factor is this: buying REO means cutting out a proud owner who cares, instead dealing with a bank that wants to sell. It’s a personal pride deficit that inevitably translates to the bottom line. So finding winning Clearwater Beach REO opportunities means hard-headed assessment of the minuses as well as the plusses of Clearwater Beach Homes For Sale .
For sure, banks are not in the business of losing money. They may not wish to remain landlords, but they have an asset on their books, and want to get the most for it. They are looking at Clearwater Beach Homes For Sale real estate market, too; when we see the direction that prices are heading, they do, too. If their cost of holding onto an asset is less than it was last year, a standout bargain basement price is almost certainly condition-based. Unlike owner-owned offerings, banks have no interest in perfecting a home prior to sale. More importantly, they have fewer mandatory disclosure obligations.
My clients know that’s why they must be able to secure a thorough inspection by a proven Clearwater Beach Homes For Sale inspector. Only after they are able to estimate how much budget will be needed to bring a property up to snuff will the complete size of the investment be clear.
And then they need another quality that distinguishes a successful Clearwater Beach REO investor: patience. We are dealing with a bank. Enough said.
The overall market may have picked up considerably, yet I can point you to REO deals at the beach. Give me a call to discuss today’s inventory!
Contact me today if you’d like to discuss the Clearwater Beach Homes For Sale on the market today.

Making the Winning Offer for a Clearwater Beach Luxury Condominium
Like most other parts of the real estate market, luxury Clearwater Beach Condos For Sale are expected to show a rise in demand going forward. Certain luxury condos have inherently superior marketability: luxury condos that both make a ‘statement’ and are priced competitively within their category are the most likely to attract competition between buyers. If you are among those looking for your perfect luxury Clearwater Beach Condo, you could face that kind of competition. Here are three major factors shown to help beat the crowd:
1. Money Talks Have your finances ready before you start your home search. If you’re a cash buyer, prepare the qualifying documentation; a proof of funds letter. If needed, get your current home sold, or secure an appropriate mortgage commitment before making your offer; a pre-approval letter. Whether your offer is the highest or not, being able to verify that you have the ability to close on the deal can be a powerful persuader. At the price point where luxury lending can be a stumbling block, a verified offer automatically becomes a most attractive feature for Clearwater Beach Condos For Sale.
2. Align Yourself with a Connected Buyers' Agent Buyers' agents who specialize Clearwater Beach Condos For Sale can sometimes make a decisive difference; as we always do for our clients. We advocate for our clients to find the right property at the right price because we know the local marketplace. For example, I spent about 6-hours touring our beaches yesterday with a family who was not familiar with the area. By the end of the day, I was able to help them pick the area where they wanted to purchase a property and narrow down properties for purchase. In addition, we know about off-market or exclusive listings where we might be able to purchase a property before it comes on the market. This is important because —
3. Moving Fast Can Seal the Deal If you are ready to buy and know what you are looking for, as soon as you find the right Clearwater Beach Condos For Sale, be mentally prepared to make your offer. Every moment you dawdle invites a multiple-offer situation — and though you may still get the condo, you can also end up paying more than you should have. Sometimes it just depends on how quickly you are prepared to move.
Luxury Clearwater Beach Condos can sell more quickly than many of today’s buyers expect. Especially in a changing market, it’s important to have the most adept representation possible.

Maximizing Value Helps Sell Clearwater Beach Real Estate
Recently, Bloomberg’s online news service confirmed what we had been hearing in more general terms: “Sales of previously owned U.S. homes climbed more than forecast in May…and prices jumped, indicating more progress for residential real estate.” Clearwater Beach Real Estate agents are not surprised at the national surge in selling prices “by the most since October 2005”. If you were already inclined to sell your own Clearwater Beach home, it looks more and more as if this will be a propitious time to jump on the opportunity.
As Clearwater Beach Real Estate agents gear up to maximize the market’s improvement, homeowners are also weighing some of the more popular alternatives for boosting valuations when it comes to selling —
· Prospective Clearwater Beach Real Estate homebuyers are increasingly energy savvy, so when new appliances need to be updated prior to sale, the more energy-efficient they are, the more worth highlighting they will be. We know how to emphasize a property’s ‘green’ attributes.
· If you have an attic or a basement that is currently serving little purpose, conversion can pay off. Basements are often the more affordable option since they call for little structural remodeling. Conversions can be into a games room, office, or utility area. Attics are often best converted to bedrooms or office space (or at least staged to suggest the possibility).
· Clearwater Beach Real Estate agents love to offer properties with decks — especially in the summertime. If you are prepared to engage in a little DIY, adding a deck can be among the most cost-effective of improvements. According to HGTV, the cost of a professionally built deck starts at about $15 per square foot, with more elaborate installations featuring costly hardwoods or composite materials running closer to $35.
Even if you do not intend to sell, a little extra money invested in your home may be a dollar-wise idea. Thoughtful investments can enrich your own living experience AND attract higher prices when the time comes to move on. If you’re looking for a real estate agent in Clearwater Beach, call me today.
Call me at 727-710-8036 or email me at jackhaydon@gmail.com for questions or to Request a free Home Evaluation report on your property.
