LOCATION,LOCATION,LOCATION

Are you as tired of this mantra as I am?

I heard Donald Trump still use this as a Real Estate term the other night and it may well still apply in Manhattan. I really feel that in the market we are trying to recover from in Florida, we need to adjust this outlook.


PRICE, PRICE, LOCATION

Hopefully in 2008 we can change to PRICE,LOCATION,LOCATION but at the present time for the buyer the inventory is still at the point that you can specify the location that you are interested in pursuing in Florida. Your agent can then give you choices,investigate the circumstances of the sale,then make a offer with the price you are comfortable with paying and go from there. It all depends on research and giving your validation of price to the listing agent or owner. It takes work to get a deal but it can be done with a happy ending for all.
