West Palm Beach Homes For Sale

West Palm Beach, Florida - West Palm Beach Homes information today is on Home Ownership. According to the 2010 National Housing Pulse Survey, an annual report released today by the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS nearly eight out of 10 respondents believe buying a West Palm Beach Home is a good financial decision. This is despite ongoing challenges with the economy and housing market.

Because of the economy and the Community Reinvestment Act, lower home prices have made it more affordable for those who could not get a Mortgage in the past. In fact, the percentage of renters who are worried that the cost of housing is getting so unaffordable that they will never be able to buy a home has decreased steadily since 2007, from 63 to 57 percent.

The National Association of Realtors’ HouseLogic is a free, comprehensive consumer website about all aspects of homeownership. They recently launched Operation Home Relief which is a new Facebook Causes campaign. This campaign aims to increase awareness, rally support and raise funding for USA Cares, a nonprofit organization that provides counseling and financial foreclosure assistance to post 9-11 active duty U.S. military service personnel, veterans and their families.

HouseLogic will donate $1 to USA Cares every time someone “likes” the Operation Home Relief Cause page on Facebook and will match individual donations made to the cause, up to $20,000.

Our U.S. military service members bravely face danger around the world every day on behalf of us, Americans. Yet, some military service members and their families also face financial dangers and hardships at home. “USA Cares’ sole mission is to help these service members and their families in their time of financial need. Their new Facebook Causes campaign highlights the work USA Cares is doing, reminding Americans of the many challenges faced by U.S. military service members and their families, and generates support via Facebook for the help that we’re offering every day.
Our Military deserves our support if anyone does.

West Palm Beach Homes & Pools

Palm Beach Gardens, Florida - Many people come to South Florida and want to buy Palm Beach County Houses, or Boca Raton Homes with a pool. We have some information to consider when buying a Home with a pool.

Palm Beach County Pool Owners: Be Prepared to Pay

The water temperature may be just right for your comfortable dip in the pool, but the cost of buying and operating a pool is scalding. Any Buyer of West Palm Beach Homes who contemplates owning a pool should expect it to cost at least $2,000 a year, or $5,000 if they turn the job of maintaining it over to a pool service.

West Palm Beach Houses with Pools

Installing a pool along with the required extras like a high fence costs at least $25,000 and probably $40,000 - $50,000 is a better estimate. And in some parts of the country, it isn’t likely that pool owners will get their money back when they sell their real estate.

Resale Value of Palm Beach County Homes with Pools

Some economist and financial planners question whether it adds anything to the sale price of homes. Then there are those who actually believe it may contribute something, but you'll never get your money out of it on the resale. The Palm Beach County Houses, Condominiums and Townhomes with a pool offer such a reward, especially in the summer months.

Commercial Real Estate Turnaround Likely Next Year

West Palm Beach, Florida - We have some Commercial Real Estate News for today.
Vacancies are still increasing in many parts of the U.S. and new commercial construction will be sparse this year, Kermit Baker, chief economist for the American Institute of Architects said Wednesday.

It is apparent that there are a number of factors at play that are contributing to one of the steepest construction downturns in in over 50 years.
Many businesses are nervous about expanding their facilities, a fragile financial sector, excess commercial space, and general unease in the international economy. It would have to help if this administration was more pro-business to help ease fears.

Some economists are predicting a demand for retail, hotels, healthcare, and recreation facilities could result in a turnaround for Commercial Real Estate, in 2011.

West Palm Home Buying Advice

Some tips from our Readers when buying a home came in this week. One great tip, Relax, take your time and choose the right fit for you.

Another important tip before you start is to consider a Professional Realtor who specializes in the Community you desire. Plus before searching ask your Realtor or Mortgage Broker how much home you can qualify for if getting a Mortgage. This can save you lots of time and heartache if looking at homes in which you will not qualify.

When most buyers are ready sign a contract, they have a pretty good idea of the type of home they want.

A very important point to consider is if you can't commit to remaining in one place for at least a few years, then owning a house is not for you.
