"I got sunshine on a cloudy day"


Thanks to the "Temps" from "My girl"

Yes I am back in the swing of things. It is amazing how many neighbors you get to talk to when you clean out your garage. So if you want to make friends then clean your garage.

Not much activity in our three complexes, the only real new one is the 2 bedroom 2 bath unit in Windrush is under contract. This unit was listed for $199,900 and we won’t know what it sold for until it closes. The unit was on the side ground floor with no view but has a 2 car garage. This was a good buy!

In The Diplomat there are now 5 units in the front buildings on the market priced from 149,900 to 169,000. The range of prices have definitely become more realistic to the market.

In Windward East there are still two 1 bedroom units on the market. One on the 7th floor listed at $260,000 and one on the 1st floor at $181,111. There is also a 2 bedroom unit on the 4th floor listed at $399,900 and one on the 2nd floor for $349,000. There is also the same townhome up front on the market but it is listed so over market value that I doubt they get any showings.

In Windrush there is the side unit that is renovated priced at $280,000.

Being a Realtor in the area for some time now, I naturally have dealt with a lot of associations. I think that our 3 complexes should be grateful for the associations we have in place. Recently DBPR recalled an association in Cocoa Beach. This is a rather rare occurrence. It seems the association fired the maintenance man because he let the fire marshall in to inspect. Naturally that is a bit taboo!

Usually if people are friendly and are not on some type of power trip then things work out for the best. I believe power is more addictive than cocaine.

Our complexes look great for low monthlies so we are very fortunate.
