How Often Do You Check The Local Real Estate Market?

With home values a constant topic of conversation, how often do you investigate your property's value?

During the height of the real estate boom in the area, it seemed like homeowners were always talking about how high the value of their property had risen. Are you still frequently checking webistes like Realtor.com and Zillow.com to see the estimated value of your property or local recent sales? Or have you stopped looking?

As a local Realtor here on the Barrier Island I check the property values every day and homeowners should too.
We have some very interesting developments in St. Pete Beach, Treasure Island, Madeira as well as Redington and Indian Shores and Indian Rocks. With extremely low inventory and about 60% cash buyers our area is looking better and better for sellers. I just got the listing for 36 condos at Westwinds Waterfront Resort on Gulf Blvd in Treasure Island and we have an overwhelming amount of inquiries and interested buyers. So, homeowners should really check their home values again B U T please call a local realtor and do not check Trulia or Zillow (they are so inaccurate)

We should really stop building these ugly homes and condos in the clearwater and as a rule, not build till most homes and condos are filled first. I drive down 60 and there isnt a space of green left anywhere...as well as off drew and other streets. when will enough be enough.

Mark, this simply makes absolutely no sense at all. Matter of fact, It's 'safer' to back into a spotRead More than pulling forward. Mark, prior to backing in a spot, you already have a full visual of in front of you. Then, as you go to leave,. it's much safer to pull out, than to back out. Mark, you have this wrong pal and I'd love to see the data which lead you to believe that it's dangerous to back into a spot, versus pulling into it. I'm going to challenge you on this one Mark, and will do so when I go to court when I purposely get a ticket.

Does the convenience of reading a license plate supersede the safety of backing in and then headingRead More out?

Maybe not. I agree on the safety issue. The question needs to be, does the need of the police to beRead More able to read the plates supersede the safety concern? To be sure, there will be the usual crowd complaining about government (any government) intrusion, yada, yada, but that's the point that needs to be settled. If the police would agree that seeing the plates isn't necessary, then the entire issue would go away.

Try accepting that it was their time to go. No matter the way or the time, what will be will be.Read More It's not about blaming or getting "justice", death always happens when it is meant to...there are no accidents, only the circumstances and means that come into play to assist the transition of those who are leaving this world, in order for them to reach the next. Your grief is understandable, I am sorry for your great loss.
