Florida Homeowners Overconfident Despite Foreclosures?
Results of a new study released last week by Attorneys Title Insurance Fund (The Fund) suggests that Florida homeowners are feeling pretty good nowadays about the value of their homes and the potential for those values to rise further in the future. Their least concern: falling victim to mortgage fraud -- even though the survey says that Florida is the top state in the nation for such fraud (something that is, unfortunately, always associated with real estate investors working in the foreclosure arena). Their biggest concern: being hit by a hurricane. Between those two

Local Market Perspective, SW Florida
Now as I can't speak for all areas of the country; Southwest Florida experienced a huge growth in a very short time and was fueled by speculators thinking the rise would never stop. Move forward two years and that is where we are today, when a young professional who might only make “starter pay” can now move to our area and buy a three bedroom, two bath home under $90,000 they can make since of their payment. I was talking with a group of teachers the other day and for the first time in a few years I didn't hear them say "We can't afford to take this position in Southwest Florida".

Fannie: Q1 a Swift Kick in the Rear
CNNMoney reported last Tuesday that Fannie’s CEO Daniel Mudd is optimistic overall about the company’s future, but sees more challenges lying ahead for the rest of 2008 and possibly beyond. “As ldquo;As the initial shock of home price declines dissipate and markets settle down from volatility of the last nine months, we’re seeing tremendous opportunity. It may have been created and chartered by the federal government, but Fannie Mae (the Federal National Mortgage Association) is first and foremost a private company responsible to shareholders for running at a profit.

Coastal Disasters = More Foreclosures?
For anyone who has lived through a natural disaster, the recent tornadoes in Central Florida and the horrific aftermath left behind — approximately 1,500 structures destroyed and 20 people killed — brings back memories of more than just the great need for disaster relief from the federal government (FEMA). It doesn’t matter if you’re living in Florida or California — coastal property is expensive and so are the insurance premiums that go with them. It also brings back bad memories of dealing with insurance companies and very slow claims service. Back in 1994 something called “The

I'll Take Sour Cream and Chives
The five: California, Florida (the hanging chad capital of the western world), Michigan, Ohio and Georgia. Just an FYI: in the upcoming 2008 presidential election, California will have 55 electoral votes, Florida 27, Michigan 17, Ohio 20 and Georgia 15. Investors, real estate professionals and potential home buyers looking to pick up a property at bargain prices should stay keenly focused on this election. No butter for me.
