Our team studies the market closely to keep you ahead of the market and be in the know.  Over the past several months we have continued to see the same trend- Economics 101- Low Supply and Strong Demand, leading to upward pressure on real estate prices.  Although we are selling fewer properties in the Keys, demand remains strong and prices continue to increase. 

Click on the "Deep Dive Into" photo for a dive into market trends for all the Florida Keys and then broken down by regions.  Key West to Shark Key, North of Shark Key to Big Pine Key, the Middle Keys including Marathon and Key Colony Beach, and then the Upper Keys.  Interest rates and inventory continue to push the residential real estate market forward.

When you apply for a mortgage loan, or any credit, the lender relies on information that is supplied by lenders, landlords, government agencies, courts, and credit card companies to three credit reporting bureau, Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Numerical values are assigned to defaults and late payments, income-to-debt ratios, types of credit and other data. The values are compiled into credit scores which provide a snapshot of your credit worthiness to anyone authorized to make inquiries.

According to a 2021 investigation by ConsumerReports.org, more than one-third of 6,000 surveyed consumers found at least one mistake in their credit reports and nearly as many found incorrect personal information such as names and addresses while 11 percent found account information errors. These errors can cause your credit scores to fall, making you pay more in interest for loans and credit lines, or in the worst cases, being denied credit altogether. 

What can you do? Get a three-bureau report and check for errors. One bureau may have accurate data while another can have incorrect or outdated information that can lower your credit scores. Sometimes, the incorrect data comes from the data furnisher – the lender, landlord, lien holder, etc. You’ll have to contact the data furnisher with proof of payment or release of lien or other evidence. Obtain a written statement of resolution to give to the credit bureau and to your mortgage lender via certified mail to make sure they get it.

Keep checking your credit at least once a year.

“Uniforms & Unicorns — 200 Years of Sailing into Fantasy”

“2023 marks the 200-year anniversary of the establishment of both Monroe County and Key West’s first Naval base, so our panel of judges agreed that “Uniforms & Unicorns — 200 Years of Sailing into Fantasy” captured the Bicentennial of these historic events and the Keys’ effervescent spirit perfectly,” said Nadene Grossman Orr, Fantasy Fest director and President/CEO of We’ve Got the Keys event-planning company 

2022 Fantasy Fest Parade of Homes recap:

Why list your home with us?  Our Fantasy Fest Sanctioned Berkshire Hathaway Parade of Homes Event was a major success.  We are the only company that drives traffic to our listings, locally as with the Parade of Homes worldwide on our social media platforms and web presence.  This year's Berkshire Hathaway Parade of Homes had a record attendance and has already led to properties going under contract directly tied to that event.

Congratulations to Kara, the lucky winner of 2 VIP tickets to our Parade viewing party!
