"Summer time and the living is easy"


This picture was taken behind one of our listings at Harbor Isles down on S. Brevard av. The boardwalk is about 1300’ long and manatees are always under the boardwalk. The boat is off ramp road park where a lot of people kayak.

If you are out and about please check out one of our Windward East neighbor’s art display at the Cocoa Beach library. The artist is Jeanne Weaver and the oil paintings are fantastic and some of them were done right out back of Windward East.

Not much new going on in our complexes market, there is a new 2 bedroom 2 bath unit in the front building of Windrush. This unit is a 2nd floor unit with 1240 sq ft and is fully furnished. The rental term at Windrush is 1 month like Windward East; this unit is priced at $135,000 so it is now in competition with The Diplomat.

The market has definitely changed this year and the inventory of ocean front condos has diminished significantly. If the unit is priced at market value then this is a great time to sell. One of agents has a cash buyer and can’t find any condo in the price range.

I think I confused some of you with my comments about the buyer backing out on one contract and buying in Windward East. The original contract was in a complex up on Ridgewood Av., this complex is operating with a loan with no reserves. Our Windward East association is in good shape as far as I know. We do have a short sale listing in a complex that also has no reserve’s this makes it very difficult since you have to find a cash buyer because not many lenders will finance a unit in a complex with no reserves.

Have a good week!
