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.

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.

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. It has great fishing charter boats, sailing charter boats, sight-seeing boats, dinner cruises, dolphin tours, parasailing, and personal watercraft. There are restaurants, a gift shop, a barber shop, a nautical shop, a laundry, a mini-mart, a post office, and even a bait house. If you visit by boat, there are 23-boat slips available for transient boaters with vessels up to 125-feet.
There are several fun activities at the Clearwater Beach Marine Aquarium:
The Sea Life Safari Boat Tour a great 90-minute tour into the local intracoastal waters. We are looking for dolphins, sea birds, manatee on this narrated scenic ride to a shell island. They demonstrate how sea data is collected with a pull and then pass around sea critters before releasing them back to the bay. This is a great hands-on-activity.
You can get wet and wade with the aquarium dolphins. You get up close to an Atlantic Bottlenose dolphin and get your picture taken with the dolphin.
In the dolphin encounter, you will get wet. A 30-minute program working side by side with the staff while they train and feed a dolphin. The trainer also provides great info on the anatomy, intelligence and beauty of the dolphin. You will get a photo and t-shirt with this experience.

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!
