While the median sales price for single-family homes fell one percent last month, condo sales prices actually jumped 13 percent. The average sales price in Miami-Dade County rose 13.5 percent. "The fact that home prices are rising despite distressed sales that account for the majority of sales is indicative of very positive trends in the Miami marketplace," said Jack Levine, MAR chairman of the board. "If prices are rising for countywide figures that include distressed properties, strengthening would be that much greater if distressed listings were eliminated or reduced. We believe the Miami market in terms of pricing has bottomed." -- Alexander Britell&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Broward home prices rise&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;September 22, 2011 12:00PM&lt;br /&gt;The median sales price for single-family homes in the Fort Lauderdale metro area rose 5 percent last month, with the median condominium sales price increasing 6 percent, according to data from the Miami Association of Realtors. Condo sales jumped 21 percent last month, and single-family sales rose 19 percent compared to August 2010. "Broward County home sales and prices continue to rise, reflecting a healthy and stable real estate market," said Terri Bersach, 2011 president of the Broward County Board of Governors of the Miami Association of Realtors. "Despite the high number of distressed sales, countywide prices are on the upswing, as buyers and investors are taking advantage of current affordability and other market opportunities." -- Alexander Britell&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;About Brad Arnowitz:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;With over $100M in Real Estate Sales.

Some four months later on Nov. 9, 2009, the resale inventory dropped below 70,000 properties, and looked poised to continue the decline in 2010, according to data.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the time, the increasing number of transactions by all-cash buyers and individuals taking advantage of the federal government’s first-time home buyers incentive program prompted many owners who were not deeply distressed situation but wanted out to put their properties on the market, industry watchers said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the first 10 months of 2010, the number of available resales swung between 65,000 and nearly 69,000 properties at any given time, according to the data.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Available inventory began another steady decline again in late September 2010 when administrative irregularities tied to the foreclosure process made national headlines, prompting several lenders to withdraw bank-owned product from the resale market. The situation has been dubbed a “foreclosure freeze” by the media.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example, there were 69,229 properties available for resale in South Florida on Sept. 27, 2010.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A week later as concerns related to the foreclosure freeze spread, South Florida available residential inventory dipped to 68,724 properties on Oct. 4, 2010.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following week on Oct. 11, 2010 the available South Florida inventory dropped to 67,977 properties, according to the data.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The week-over-week declines have continued since September 2010 as banks withdraw residential product that could have potential “foreclosure freeze” issues and buyers purchase product at deep discounts of more than 40 percent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Arnowitz &amp;amp; Associates:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;With over $100M in Real Estate Sales.

But you can improve your odds with the right research. In many cases, making a smart deal and getting the best price come down to studying your market and being an educated seller. You’ve got to know more than you would have if you’d sold a year ago, even a few months ago! If you want to protect yourself, you have to become knowledgeable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recognize that housing markets are local:&lt;br /&gt;Home prices are like the weather — very different in different areas. In certain markets, home prices have actually gone up from last year. However, in most cases market conditions have weakened a great deal. In addition, demand will change depending on the price range and even the neighborhood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What you need to know:&lt;br /&gt;What’s the demand for a house like yours in your area?&lt;br /&gt;You have to look at what’s being sold and at what price. That’s important.&lt;br /&gt;Look at comparables for similar houses. Study prices and sales for one year ago, six months ago, three months ago and the current numbers.&lt;br /&gt;What are the trends? Are prices going up or down — and by how much? How many days are homes staying on the market? If they are on the market longer, how much of that could be seasonal? In many areas, spring and summer are the busy seasons.&lt;br /&gt;Pay special attention to the data between the list price and the sales price. That is, look for a meaningful relationship between list price and sales price.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Know what your house is worth:&lt;br /&gt;Talk to a me @ &lt;a href="mailto:Brad@ArnowitzProperties.com"&gt;Brad@ArnowitzProperties.com&lt;/a&gt; I will analyze your property and provide you with a detailed market report; including comparables. Get an appraisal from a certified professional appraiser. Look at and study your comparables. Taken together, that information will give you a pretty good idea of what your home is currently worth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Analyze who is buying and selling in your market:&lt;br /&gt;What’s your competition? Who are the buyers, and why are they purchasing in your area?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Assess the market where you plan to buy:&lt;br /&gt;If you’re selling one house and buying another, look at the market where you plan to move. It might be that, with the housing there, it’s a great time to buy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About Bradley E. Arnowitz, P.A. &amp;amp; Associates&lt;br /&gt;Bradley E.

When deciding to undertake a remodeling project however, there are several invaluable tips to keep in mind as you discuss your home make-over with potential contractors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Through advice and stories shared by both contractors and consumers. We discovered 10 important tips on how to find a trustworthy home remodeling contractor to help ensure the right person or company is hired for your next home improvement project.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Tip #1: Does Your Contractor Have Proof of Insurance?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ask the contractor to have his insurance company mail or fax a copy of his current contractor insurance card to you. If the contractor can’t do this - stay away. Why? If there is an accident at your home, you are then liable. This also applies to any sub-contractor or employee that the contractor may use - those individuals should have active insurance cards faxed or mailed to you as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Tip #2: Did You Check References and See Photos?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ask for at least three references - with two of them being for the same type of project you are planning - and then call the references. Additionally, ask the contractor to provide photos of previous work, especially for the same type of project. If he produces lawn and garden photos and you’re planning a bathroom remodel, you may want to check out another contractor.Tip #3: Does Your Contractor Take Debit or Credit Cards?Besides your ability to earn a few points, bonus miles, or cash back on your project, a good sign that a contractor is financially savvy and has a bank behind his business is his ability to take debit and credit cards. This doesn’t just apply to big contracting companies. Many small, one-man shops will take cards if they have a good relationship with their business bank or credit union.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Tip #4: Manners and Appearance?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If the contractor drove his vehicle to your home to give you an estimate, take a look at the way he keeps the equipment and vehicle. Are things clean? Neatly arranged? If not - that’s a big warning. The way a contractor treats his tools is a direct connection to how he’ll treat your home. During the initial meeting, does the contractor present himself in a professional way? Do you feel comfortable around him or his employees? They will be working in your home after all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Tip #5: Clean Up Policy?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ask about the clean-up policy. For example, if your home improvement is a multi-day project, will the contractor be cleaning up at the end of every day or will he leave the dust, wood chips, and other mess laying there for day #2? The more mess in your home - the more it gets tracked around. Many homeowners find themselves with mouths gaping wide after the contractor has left for the day and their floors and home are dirty and messy around the project area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Tip #6: Will the Contractor Put It In Writing?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Is your contractor willing to put both his bid and the scope of work in writing? If not - walk away immediately. You’ll be surprised how many homeowners have been duped by contractors who verbally tell you what’s included in their scope of work, but will then, in the middle of everything, require extra money to finish the remodel, thus holding you hostage with an uncompleted home project.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Tip #7: Availability?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Can the contractor get the job done in your timeline rather than his timeline? There’s nothing more frustrating than if a contractor tells you that a job will be done by a certain date and then it isn’t . On the flip side, if you can’t find a good contractor that’s willing to commit to your timeline, your expectations may be too high and you may need to adjust your timeline.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Tip #8: Does Your Contractor Use “Subs?”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Does your contractor plan on doing everything himself? Or will he “sub out” work to the “trades?” For example, if you are remodeling a bathroom, you may need a plumber, electrician, and carpenter. It’s okay if the contractor subs work out to these specific trades - it shows he wants the work done right.  Also, it’s fair to say that you can expect your contractor to make money off the trades, or other sub-contractors, by marking up those quotes for the project. That is a standard practice to help the general contractor recover costs in the time it takes to manage the schedule. If you don’t want to spend the extra money on your contractor marking up the trade quotes, then you should prepare to project manage the remodel yourself, but know this may limit your options on contractors willing to work with you.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Tip #9: Quoting &amp;amp; Billing Procedure?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ask the contractor about his quoting procedure. Will it contain general information, or will it be specific? For example - most contractors will charge you for a fuel surcharge, material up-charges, waste removal, labor, etc. Some will show you these exact costs in a line item invoice, but others roll it up into one big bill. How much detail do you want? You should clarify that with your contractor upfront. Also - what is the payment or billing policy? Is money required upfront? If so, go back to #1 and #2 above to make sure you have the contractor’s references checked and have a copy of his contractor’s insurance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Tip #10: Did Your Contractor Get the Permits?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ask your contractor to take care of the permits. Although permits cost you money, the inspection process is meant to protect you from poor workmanship and to make sure that everything is being built to code.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;By following these 10 tips for hiring a home contractor, you’ll feel more confident that you’ve found the right contractor for your remodeling job.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;About the Firm:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Bradley E.

If you consider $2 million, as opposed to $5 million, accessible. A good portion of these luxury buyers are purchasing second or even third homes and living as part-time residents, buying with all cash. The lower prices are affecting everybody. NBA star Shaquille O'Neal recently took a hit on his Star Island home, purchasing the parcel for $18.8 million in 2004 and recently selling it to a Russian buyer for $16 million. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;A few years ago, many of the properties in and Golden Beach, Palm Island and on Millionaires Row were untouchable by many well-to-do buyers. Now those properties priced at $10 million and $12 million have dropped to $8 million, while those at $5 million are now priced at $2 million and $3 million! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Are you ready to take advantage?

Make Sure Your real estate agent is a Top Local Expert. Your home or condominium is probably the biggest purchase your family will ever make, and it involves many decisions that go beyond simply choosing one you like. Ask me anything; I will guide you through the entire process, from viewing homes and financing, to making sure the final contract is in your best interest:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;- You will have full access to ALL homes available on the market, even listings not yet on the MLS, through my professional Florida real estate affiliations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;- My expert local knowledge of the area should be invaluable to you, not just in terms of real estate, but also schools, neighborhoods, the local economy, and more.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;- Every local real estate market absolutely has its own trends and opportunities. This can vary greatly, even one neighborhood to the next. It's my job to steer you into opportunities and out of traps.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;- What is the true market value of the home you are interested in? Is it priced too high? Is it a bargain that you should jump on? I help home buyers make decisions like this every day, and I'll make sure that YOU get the best value for your money.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;- Negotiating with sellers can be stressful. I will help you negotiate, so that the final contract includes your best possible terms and conditions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;- You should know absolutely everything about the property you are buying! You and I will view every home that you are interested in, together. And prior to closing I will make you fully aware of any and all inspections available to you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;- Have confidence when signing documents. Contracts are full of complicated terms and clauses that can greatly affect your future life in your new home. I will give you the full benefit of my real estate knowledge and experience. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Bradley E.

While you can see a million homes on the web, actually buying your home is another matter entirely. Buyers beware! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Click on the link &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.arnowitzproperties.com/buyer-info.asp"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;http://www.arnowitzproperties.com/buyer-info.asp&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt; and ask me any question about buying a home in South Florida.

Nonetheless, suggest buying for the long term as all markets are cyclical in nature. Therefore, if making a home or condominium purchase for you or your families long-term enjoyment and future use; now may be very well the appropriate time. Keeping in mind, real value equals quality homes and condominiums, built by well known, reputable and established developers/builders.

However, numbers released by the Floria Association of Realtors yesterday showed existing single-family home sales in Miaami-Dade County &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;increased &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;by &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;22% &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;and Broward sales &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;increased 12%&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; compared to the same period a year ago. Condominium sales were &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;up 13%&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; in Miami-Dade County while Broward Condo sales were even compared to a year ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the first time we've seen an increase in four years. And, South Florida's sales are in contrast to the rest of the country. Sales of existing U.S. homes fell by 2.2% even as ours continue to rise.

The basic elements of the aggressive plan start taking effect immediately, but longer-term measures -- especially provisions to grow, then shrink the firms -- are likely to be targets of contention for months to come.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;"Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are so large and so interwoven in our financial system that a failure of either of them would cause great turmoil . . . at home and around the globe," Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson said in announcing the government's actions."A failure would affect the ability of Americans to get home loans, auto loans and other consumer credit and business finance. And a failure would be harmful to economic growth and job creation," he said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;The first phase of the government's plan came Sunday as it seized control of the firms and ousted their chief executives, placing the companies under the indefinite management of their regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Agency.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;The plan also calls for buying as much as $200 billion of special stock in the firms soon, standing ready to fund an expansion over the next 15 months and then shrinking operations over a number of years to wean the nation from its dependence on the massive financial might of the combined operations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Fannie and Freddie already own or guarantee $5.4 trillion in mortgages, or about half the total outstanding. In the second quarter, the companies backed 84% of all new home loans made, according to industry research firm Inside Mortgage Finance. A separate government agency, the Federal Housing Administration, insures many of the rest.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;But even as government officials moved to take control of the troubled firms, it was clear they still faced challenges and a delicate balancing game. They must satisfy enough investors to ensure that the companies' bonds and mortgage-backed securities are considered safe bets. At the same time, they must avoid seeming to risk billions of tax dollars to bail out the firms' investors.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;In perhaps the most unexpected aspect of its rescue effort, the government said that the Treasury would start buying up an undetermined quantity of the mortgage-backed securities issued by the troubled firms. And it will even permit Fannie and Freddie to temporarily ratchet up their own buying of such securities in an effort to expand the funds available for mortgages and drive down the interest rates that home buyers must pay.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Despite dramatic rate cuts by the Federal Reserve over the last year, the rate for a standard 30-year fixed-rate mortgage has remained stubbornly above 6%.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Paulson and James B. Lockhart, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, would not say what spurred the government to act now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;In conclusion, we wait and see how things shake themselves out. It's a bold move that may well payoff.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;About Bradley E.

Make Sure Your real estate agent is a Top Local Expert.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Your home or condominium is probably the biggest purchase your family will ever make, and it involves many decisions that go beyond simply choosing one you like. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;As a top real estate agent, here is how I will guide you through the entire process, from viewing homes and financing, to making sure the final contract is in your best interest:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;- You will have full access to ALL homes available on the market, even listings not yet on the MLS, through my professional Florida real estate affiliations.&lt;br /&gt;- My expert local knowledge of the area should be invaluable to you, not just in terms of real estate, but also schools, neighborhoods, the local economy, and more.&lt;br /&gt;- Every local real estate market absolutely has its own trends and opportunities. This can vary greatly, even one neighborhood to the next. It's my job to steer you into opportunities and out of traps.&lt;br /&gt;- What is the true market value of the home you are interested in? Is it priced too high? Is it a bargain that you should jump on? I help home buyers make decisions like this every day, and I'll make sure that YOU get the best value for your money.&lt;br /&gt;- Negotiating with sellers can be stressful. I will help you negotiate, so that the final contract includes your best possible terms and conditions.&lt;br /&gt;- You should know absolutely everything about the property you are buying! You and I will view every home or condominium that you are interested in, together. And prior to closing I will make you fully aware of any and all inspections available to you.&lt;br /&gt;- Have confidence when signing documents. Contracts are full of complicated terms and clauses that can greatly affect your future life in your new home. I will give you the full benefit of my real estate knowledge and experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Let me represent your best interests in your search for a new home in the area. While you can see a million homes on the web, actually buying your home is another matter entirely. Buyers beware!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ask me any question about buying a home in South Florida. It's my job to help you! There's no obligation, and I promise to respond quickly...&lt;br /&gt;Click on the link below or visit my site:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a title="http://www.arnowitzproperties.com/buyer-info.asp" href="http://www.arnowitzproperties.com/buyer-info.asp"&gt;http://www.arnowitzproperties.com/buyer-info.asp&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a title="http://www.arnowitzproperties.com/" href="http://www.arnowitzproperties.com/"&gt;http://www.arnowitzproperties.com/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;When I represent you, I will be prepared.

But you can improve your odds with the right research.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In many cases, making a smart deal and getting the best price come down to studying your market and being an educated seller.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You've got to know more than you would have if you'd sold a year ago. If you want to protect yourself, you have to become knowledgeable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recognize that housing markets are local:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Home prices are like the weather -- very different in different areas. In many markets, home prices have actually gone up from last year, says Dick Gaylord, president of the National Association of Realtors. In addition, demand will change depending on the price range and even the neighborhood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What you need to know:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's the demand for a house like yours in your area?&lt;br /&gt;You have to look at what's being sold and at what price. That's important.&lt;br /&gt;Look at comparables for similar houses. Study prices and sales for one year ago, six months ago, three months ago and the current numbers.&lt;br /&gt;What are the trends? Are prices going up or down -- and by how much? How many days are homes staying on the market? If they are on the market longer, how much of that could be seasonal? In many areas, spring and summer are the busy seasons.&lt;br /&gt;Pay special attention to the data between the list price and the sales price. That is, look for a meaningful relationship between list price and sales price.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Know what your house is worth:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Talk to a handful of agents. Get an appraisal from a certified professional appraiser. Look at your comparables. Taken together, that information will give you a pretty good idea of what your home is currently worth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Analyze who is buying and selling in your market:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;What's your competition? Who are the buyers, and why are they shopping?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Assess the market where you plan to buy:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;If you're selling one house and buying another, look at the market where you plan to move. It might be that, with the housing there, it's a great time to buy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Bradley E. Arnowitz, P.A. &amp;amp; Associates&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bradley E.

The name of the email was: The Two Minute Mangement Course.  I'd love to hear your thoughts!  I tend to agree...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lesson One&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him," Can I also sit like you and do nothing? "The eagle answered: "Sure, why not. "So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped onthe rabbit and ate it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Management Lesson&lt;/strong&gt; - To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lesson Two&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love tobe able to get to the top of that tree",  sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy." "Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull. "They're packed with nutrients. "The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at thetop of the tree. He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Management Lesson&lt;/strong&gt; - Bull shit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lesson Three&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A little bird was flying south for the winter. It wasso cold, the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him.  As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Management Lesson -&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.&lt;br /&gt;(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.&lt;br /&gt;(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This ends your two minute management course.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Bradley E.

Placing my own interpretation on some of what I read; allow me to share some thoughts on negotiating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AMIDST THE TURMOIL OF EVENTS, DO NOT LOSE YOUR PRESENCE OF MIND&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the heat of negotiations, the mind tends to lose its balance. Too many things confront you at the same time-unexpected setbacks, doubts and even criticisms from your own allies. There's a danger of responding emotionally, with fear or even frustration. It is vital to keep your presence of mind, maintaining your mental powers whatever the circumstances. You must actively resist the emotional pull of the moment- staying decisive, confident and on task no matter what comes at you. Make your mind tougher by exposing it to adversity. Learn to detach yourself from emotions, &lt;strong&gt;KNOW THE FACTS - HAVE THE NUMBERS - FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE PRODUCT &lt;/strong&gt;at all costs. Let others lose their heads; your presence of mind will steer you clear of their influence and keep you on course.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When I represent you, I will be prepared.

Congress has approved, as part of its national stimulus package, “bonus depreciation” for 2008. The benefits include the ability to take additional depreciation on qualifying property in 2008. The caveat is the very short window of opportunity to take advantage of this package.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonus depreciation isn’t a new concept. In fact, it has been used in several economic stimulus packages in the past, including the New York Liberty Zone, and the Gulf Opportunity Zone. Bonus depreciation allows qualified taxpayers to take an additional 50 percent depreciation of the basis of the qualifying property in the first year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What Qualifies&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To be eligible to claim bonus depreciation, property must be either; eligible for the modified accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS) with a depreciation period of 20 years or less, a water utility property, off-the-shelf computer software, or qualified leasehold property. For property to qualify for bonus depreciation, it must be acquired under a binding written contract entered into during 2008. Additionally, the taxpayer must begin the manufacture, construction or production of the property for the taxpayer’s own use during 2008. However, for property with a depreciation period of 10 years or longer, Congress extended the placed-in-service date through December 31, 2009. Construction started in 2007 does not qualify for this stimulus package.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Maximizing Bonus Depreciation with Cost Segregation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cost segregation allows you to capture bonus depreciation by identifying property that falls into the recovery periods which are less than 20-years (i.e. 5, 7, 15, etc.). When the property is accurately identified in a cost segregation study, taxpayers experience accelerated depreciation by shortening the recovery period. The bonus depreciation benefit allows owner to depreciate 50% of the asset immediately!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Choosing the Right Consultant&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before beginning a cost segregation study and benefiting from both accelerated and bonus depreciation, make sure you work with a qualified cost segregation provider.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The IRS authored a Cost Segregation Audit Techniques Guide outlining the accepted criteria for a quality cost segregation study. Your provider/consultant should know and follow these guidelines when doing your cost segregation study. There are 13 parts to a quality cost segregation study:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Preparation by an individual with expertise and experience&lt;br /&gt;Detailed description of the methodology&lt;br /&gt;Use of appropriate documentation&lt;br /&gt;Interviews conducted with appropriate parties&lt;br /&gt;Use of a common nomenclature&lt;br /&gt;Use of a standard numbering system&lt;br /&gt;Explanation of the legal analysis&lt;br /&gt;Determination of unit costs and engineering "take-offs"&lt;br /&gt;Organization of assets into lists or groups&lt;br /&gt;Reconciliation of total allocated costs to total actual costs&lt;br /&gt;Explanation of the treatment of indirect costs&lt;br /&gt;Identification and listing of section 1245 property&lt;br /&gt;Consideration of related aspects&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Additionally, there are nine principal elements of a quality cost segregation report. They are: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Summary Letter/Executive Summary&lt;br /&gt;Narrative Report&lt;br /&gt;Schedule Of Assets&lt;br /&gt;Schedule Of Direct and Indirect Costs&lt;br /&gt;Schedule Of Property Units And Costs&lt;br /&gt;Engineering Procedures&lt;br /&gt;Statement Of Assumptions And Limiting Conditions&lt;br /&gt;Certificate&lt;br /&gt;Exhibits &lt;/p&gt;You should expect your cost segregation consultant to provide you with reports that meet all of these criteria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are also six methods approved by the IRS when conducting a cost segregation study. These include the Detailed Engineering Approach from Actual Cost Records; Detailed Engineering Cost Estimate Approach; Survey or Letter Approach; Residual Estimation Approach; Sampling or Modeling Approach; “Rule of Thumb" Approach. Any of these approved methods is acceptable to the IRS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Bradley E. Arnowitz, P.A. &amp;amp; Associates&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bradley E.

We at Bradley E. Arnowitz, P.A. &amp;amp; Associates view this statement as signaling somewhat of a pause.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The central bank is walking a tightrope, trying to jump-start economic growth while also confronting the risk that if it overdoes the credit easing it could make inflation worse down the road.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fed policy-makers have been confronting a bleak landscape. The U.S. housing market has shown some signs of hitting bottom in certain areas of the country such as Bal Harbour, &lt;a href="http://www.balharbourlistings.com/"&gt;http://www.balharbourlistings.com/&lt;/a&gt; and Aventura, Florida &lt;a href="http://www.aventuracondolistings.com/"&gt;http://www.aventuracondolistings.com/&lt;/a&gt; and Beverly Hills, while in others no sign is near and credit markets still appear strained.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The comming economic and housing sector reports will be a tell tale sign of where were headed. Let's hope that Bernanke and the Fed look to avoid another boom and bust cycle! With their focus on sound money, fighting inflation, along with long-term economic stability.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bradley E.

Its three matazahs and the six other items are arranged in a formation dictated by their significance and relationship vis-a-vis each other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here's how you set it up:&lt;br /&gt;On top of a large plate, tray or cloth place three whole matzahs, one on top of the other.&lt;br /&gt;Cover the matzahs with a cloth or tray. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;On top, position the following six items as pictured above right:&lt;br /&gt;1) "Zeroa" - a roasted chicken bone with most of the meat removed. This will represent the Passover offering. It will not be eaten.&lt;br /&gt;2) "Beitzah" - a hard-boiled egg, representing the festival offering.&lt;br /&gt;3) "Maror" - grated horseradish (just the horseradish -- not the red stuff that has vinager and beets added) and/or romaine lettuce, for use as the "bitter herbs".&lt;br /&gt;4) "Charoset" - a paste made of apples, pears, nuts and wine. We'll be dipping the bitter herbs in this.&lt;br /&gt;5) "Karpas" - a bit of vegetable, such an onion or potato.&lt;br /&gt;6) "Chazeret" -- more bitter herbs, for use in the matzah-maror sandwich.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We'll also need a wine cup or goblet for each participant, and plenty of wine!&lt;br /&gt;And a dish of salt water (in which to dip the Karpas).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Wishing you a Happy Passover!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bradley E.

This can vary greatly, even one neighborhood to the next. It's my job to steer you into opportunities and out of traps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- What is the true market value of the home you are interested in? Is it priced too high?

Arnowitz &amp;amp; Associates, P.A. &lt;a href="http://www.arnowitzproperties.com/"&gt;http://www.arnowitzproperties.com/&lt;/a&gt; Top Real Estate Agent. &lt;a href="http://www.Brad@ArnowitzProperties.com"&gt;www.Brad@ArnowitzProperties.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Selling your home is one of the most important decisions you will make in your life. How much is it REALLY worth? How long will it take to sell? How do you handle buyers making undesirable offers?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ask me ANY question about selling your home or property. Or request my &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;FREE &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;in-home presentation of how I would market your property. There's no obligation, and I promise to get back to you quickly...Visit us @ &lt;a href="http://www.arnowitzproperties.com/seller-info.asp"&gt;http://www.arnowitzproperties.com/seller-info.asp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a top real estate agent with years of experience and a proven track record, it is my job to guide you through this complicated process, from beginning to end. I want you to get the maximum value for your home, within YOUR time frame. Here are just some of the things that I will do to market and sell your home:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Buyers want to buy your home for as little as possible! Through detailed comparisons between your home and recently sold homes, and other properties currently on the market, together we can determine what your home is really worth in today's market. In the industry this is called a Comparative Market Analysis or CMA. I will do this for you, for free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Buyers have their own timelines, which might not be yours! I make sure they don't waste your time by qualifying them as to their real ability to afford your home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- More buyers interested in your home means more money in your pocket when it is sold. My extensive marketing of your home assures you of maximum value. For example, this web site will market your property all across the web. It will appear on Yahoo Real Estate, Microsoft MSN HomeAdvisor, and other top national sites. I can place your home on my web site within a few minutes time!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- When we begin marketing your home, I will immediately notify all the buyers that I am helping find their ideal home. I'll also notify all the real estate agents in this area that I work with, who quickly tell their homebuyers. It is a powerful way to jump-start the sale of your home!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- You and a member of my team or I will walk through your home together. I will advise you how to present your property to maximize its selling price. Some improvements are worth it, and some are not! Be careful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Contracts are complicated, and intimidating. You don't want to go to a closing with some doubts. You will have the full benefit of my real estate experience and knowledge for a smooth and successful closing. I recommend that you do not sign on any dotted lines without asking me first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- I will make sure you conform to any and all Florida statutory disclosure requirements. I will also inform you of any inspections that you should consider having done ahead of time to smooth the negotiating process with buyers, and to ensure a successful escrow and closing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You pay no up front costs for my services! So you can bet that I will work hard to get your home sold, for as much as this market will possibly bear. I will also work within your time frame and your needs. For example, sometimes it can be hard to sell and move out of your current home, and buy and move into a new home, all at the same time! I can help smooth this out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Call or email me. Ask for a free In-Home Presentation. I will come to your home or office, and present you a plan that details exactly how I will market your home. There is absolutely no obligation so don't let this opportunity pass. It is part of my job as a top real estate agent to offer you this service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ask me ANY question about selling your home or property. Or request my &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;FREE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; in-home presentation of how I would market your property.

Bush on Thursday offered new steps to help homeowners facing steep increases in their mortgage payments, an effort to prevent the U.S. housing crisis sending the broader economy into a recession.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The plan worked out with private lenders would allow some borrowers with interest rates that are slated to rise sharply in the coming months to either refinance the loan or have their current rate frozen for five years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The holidays are fast approaching and unfortunately this will be a time of anxiety for Americans worried about their mortgages and their homes," Bush said after a White House meeting with members of the group that hammered out the plan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There's no perfect solution and the homeowners deserve our help," Bush said. He also urged Congress to pass legislation to reform the tax code to help homeowners refinance their mortgages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An estimated 1.8 million homeowners took out loans with low teaser rates but now face expensive loan rate resets next year alone, the Federal Reserve has said. The White House says the new plan could potentially help about 1.2 million homeowners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How This Helps:&lt;br /&gt;Some borrowers who took out loans with subprime interest rates between January 1, 2005 and July 2007 would be eligible for a five-year rate freeze if they face a rate reset over the next 2-1/2 years.&lt;br /&gt;Borrowers would be eligible if they can show that they are a reasonable credit risk, could not afford their homes with higher rates and live in their homes, an effort to weed out investors who took speculative risks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bush said the rest of the economy was performing well and could weather the housing storm.&lt;br /&gt;"One reason for confidence is that the downturn in housing comes against the backdrop of solid fundamentals in other areas, including low inflation, a healthy job market, record high exports," Bush said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bradley E.

The fed funds rate, a key bank lending rate, stands at 4.5 percent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At its last two meetings, the central bank lowered the federal funds rate - a quarter percentage point in late October and half a percentage point in mid-September.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bernanke added that the labor market remained "solid" and that core inflation was "moderate." But he noted the inflation risk posed by sky-high oil prices, which have hovered near $100 a barrel, as well as higher prices for food and imported goods.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said that he expected household income and spending to grow, but added that higher gas prices, ongoing weakness in the housing market and tighter credit conditions would "create some headwinds for the consumer in the months ahead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" Financial markets would also be closely watched for signs that they are affecting the broader economy, Bernanke said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of which is posing a challenging task for central bank officials, said Bernanke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Economic forecasting is always difficult, but the current stresses in financial markets make the uncertainty surrounding the outlook even greater than usual," said Bernanke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The central bank will have plenty of economic numbers to digest in the two weeks leading up to its next policy meeting. On the slate for Friday's session are readings on personal income and spending, as well as the core PCE reading, which measures prices paid by consumers for items other than food and energy. Next week will bring the highly anticipated November jobs report.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Battling fears of a recession and being the historian that he is. We at Bradley E.

In the process, you’ll learn how responsive—and organized—its members are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. What percentage of units is owner-occupied? What percentage is tenant-occupied? Generally, the higher the percentage of owner-occupied units, the more marketable the units will be at resale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. What covenants, bylaws, and restrictions govern the property? What grandfather clauses are in place? You may find, for instance, that those who buy a property after a certain date can’t rent out their units, but buyers who bought earlier can. Ask for a copy of the bylaws to determine if you can live within them. And have an attorney review property docs, including the master deed, for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. How much does the association keep in reserve? How is that money being invested?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.  Are association assessments keeping pace with the annual rate of inflation? Smart boards raise assessments a certain percentage each year to build reserves to fund future repairs. To determine if the assessment is reasonable, compare the rate to others in the area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5.  What does and doesn’t the assessment cover—common area maintenance, recreational facilities, trash collection, snow removal?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6.  What special assessments have been mandated in the past five years? How much was each owner responsible for? Some special assessments are unavoidable. But repeated, expensive assessments could be a red flag about the condition of the building or the board’s fiscal policy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7.  How much turnover occurs in the building?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8.  Is the project in litigation? If the builders or homeowners are involved in a lawsuit, reserves can be depleted quickly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9.  Is the developer reputable? Find out what other projects the developer has built and visit one if you can. Ask residents about their perceptions. Request an engineer’s report for developments that have been reconverted from other uses to determine what shape the building is in. If the roof, windows, and bricks aren’t in good repair, they become your problem once you buy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10.  Are multiple associations involved in the property? In very large developments, umbrella associations, as well as the smaller association into which you’re buying, may require separate assessments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bradley E.

The index (.DXY: &lt;a href="http://www.reuters.com/stocks/quote?symbol=.DXY"&gt;Quote&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.reuters.com/stocks/companyProfile?symbol=.DXY"&gt;Profile&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.reuters.com/stocks/researchReports?symbol=.DXY"&gt;Research&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is certainly no change in the dollar's weak trend. It looks like $1.50 is the next target for euro/dollar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In contrast to the Fed, which has slashed the fed funds rate target by 75 basis points in the past two months, the European Central Bank (ECB) has kept up hawkish rhetoric due to concerns about inflationary pressures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With that as a backdrop, the market will target higher eurozone interest rates and lower U.S. interest rates. We see this as an opportunity for our European friends to make home purchases at substantial discounts, at prices that have never been seen before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Palm Beach to South Beach, pleaes allow Bradley E.

Key questions about it:&lt;br /&gt;• Q: What is portability?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;color:#ffffff;"&gt;• A: The ability to transfer to a new home accumulated property-tax savings tied to the Save Our Homes law. The taxable value of a homestead can rise no more than 3 percent a year -- even if the real market value of the home is higher. Over a period of years, the market value of the home may be higher than its taxable value. That's called the ''differential.'' Under the amendment, that amount can be transferred to a new home so you pay less tax.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;color:#ffffff;"&gt;• Q: How can I find out the differential for my home?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;color:#ffffff;"&gt;• A: On Miami-Dade property-tax statements, subtract ''taxable value'' from ''market value'' to get the differential. In Broward, subtract ''taxable value'' from ''property assessment value.'' In Monroe, subtract ''taxable value'' from ``just value.''&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;color:#ffffff;"&gt;• Q: How much savings can I carry to another home?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;color:#ffffff;"&gt;• A: If you buy a more expensive home, you transfer all of your benefit up to $500,000. For example, if you sell a home with market value of $600,000 and taxable value of $300,000, your differential is $300,000. If you then buy a new home with market value of $700,000, your taxable value would drop by the differential, $300,000. So your taxable value would be $400,000 your first year in the new home.&lt;br /&gt;If you buy a lower-priced home, you transfer a percentage that matches your current benefit, up to $500,000. So if market value of your current home is $600,000 and your taxable value is $300,000, your differential is $300,000, or 50 percent. If you sell it and buy a new home for $400,000, you may transfer $200,000 -- 50 percent of the new home's market value. Your taxable value would be $200,000 the first year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;• Q: How much will my taxes increase on my new home in the future?&lt;br /&gt;• A: You will still be covered by Save Our Homes, which means taxable value will grow no more than 3 percent each year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;• Q: What if I've never owned a home in Florida?&lt;br /&gt;• A: You're at a disadvantage. But once you own a home, you will accumulate Save Our Homes benefits and can transfer them to another Florida home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;• Q: Do I get the benefits of portability only if I sell after the amendment passes?&lt;br /&gt;• A: No. If the proposal passes on Jan. 29, you can get the benefits if you sold your home anytime in 2007, as long as you get homestead exemption on your new home by Jan. 1, 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;• Q: If I sell my home, do I have to buy another main home right away to transfer my tax savings?&lt;br /&gt;• A: No. You will have two years to transfer savings&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Source: Miami Herald, MARY ELLEN KLAS&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HELPFUL LINKS:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Broward County Tax Appraisal Site&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bcpa.net/Homepage.asp"&gt;http://www.bcpa.net/Homepage.asp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Miami Dade County Tax Appraisal Site&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.miamidade.gov/pa/"&gt;http://www.miamidade.gov/pa/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interactive Tax Calculator&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.miamifly.net/interactive/proptax/"&gt;http://www.miamifly.net/interactive/proptax/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arnowitz Properties main site&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.arnowitzproperties.com/"&gt;http://www.arnowitzproperties.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Hilights of property-tax proposal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HOMESTEAD&lt;br /&gt;• All homeowners would receive an additional homestead exemption of $25,000 for the value of their home above $50,000.&lt;br /&gt;• The new exemption doesn't apply to schools taxes, so the exemption would average about $15,000 statewide.&lt;br /&gt;• First-year impact: $892 million.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;PORTABILITY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;• Owners of homestead property would be able to transfer their Save Our Homes benefit (up to $500,000) to a new homestead within two years of moving.&lt;br /&gt;• Homeowners who moved in 2007 may transfer their benefit if they apply for a new homestead Jan. 1, 2008, or Jan. 1, 2009.&lt;br /&gt;• This applies to all taxes, including school taxes.&lt;br /&gt;• First year impact: $302 million.&lt;br /&gt;Source: Florida Senate&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bradley E.

Arnowitz, P.A. &amp;amp; Associates will send you a list of properties that match your criteria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nationally major banks and other lending institutions have recently written off billions of dollars to reflect the lower value of homes that they have repossessed. With these homes now priced more realistically, lenders are anxious to unload these non-performing assets and, locally, real estate brokers are being enlisted to market and move these properties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This presents an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers to purchase homes in the Miami Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties at prices well below where they were two or three years ago. Local mortgage loan officers are targeting those families or individuals with recession-proof occupations such as teachers, nurses, firemen and law enforcement personnel. For those buyers with good credit scores, 30-year fixed mortgages are still available with interest rates under 7 percent with minimal or no down payment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not so lucky are other potential home buyers - particularly those with poor credit scores, high debt ratios, spotty employment histories, or lack of down payment funds, — who have been frozen out of the market by tightened lending standards as a result of the mortgage meltdown.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Presently a huge percent of the foreclosures have involved subprime mortgages that were given to unqualified buyers, such as the adjustable mortgage. This percentage may change, however, thousands of other homeowners are currently in default on their mortgages. In many cases, banks and other lending institutions are delaying foreclosure proceedings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Surprisingly, the homeowner and the lending institution both have an interest in avoiding foreclosure which will adversely impact the homeowner's credit for years to come and, at the same time, add to the growing inventory of unsold homes in the lender's possession. With at least 5 percent of homeowners delinquent in their mortgages, a new opportunity has emerged known as a "short sale."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If a mortgage-qualified investor or home buyer can be found for a home whose mortgage is in default, a lending institution is often willing to decrease the amount of the mortgage by as much as 25 percent or more in order to reduce its inventory and avoid lengthy and costly foreclosure proceedings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is important to know that all parties to a "short sale" must be in full agreement. Sometimes there is a second mortgage on the home and, in the event of a foreclosure, the second mortgage would most likely be wiped out. Therefore, in a "short sale" the second mortgage holder must be amenable to accepting a token amount.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How does a homebuyer, find a seller?&lt;br /&gt;Sign up for our &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;FREE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;List of Distressed and Foreclosed Properties&lt;/span&gt; @ &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.arnowitzproperties.com/foreclosures.asp"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;http://www.arnowitzproperties.com/foreclosures.asp&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bradley E. Arnowitz, P.A. &amp;amp; Associates will send you a list of properties that match your criteria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There can be pitfalls to a "short sale." If the mortgage is substantially reduced, the IRS may consider the reduction as taxable income to the seller. However, if the seller is nearly insolvent, the IRS does not pursue the matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The benefit to a potential buyer in finding a homeowner, teetering on the verge of foreclosure, is that a price can often be negotiated with the lender that is substantially below market value. If the home has already been foreclosed, the lender usually wants to recapture the time and money spent in the foreclosure proceedings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Usually a "short sale" buyer will be offered a new mortgage by the lender but it is always a good idea for the buyer to have an alternative lender lined up in order to make certain the terms are competitive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While the buyer may have some sympathy for the homeowner who is losing a home, chances are that the buyer may actually be preserving the seller's credit from total destruction so that, in the future, the seller may re-enter the housing market a little wiser and better prepared financially.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the opposite side of the spectrum are those who can purchase a property quicly, all cash. The opportunities to purchase at well below value in a short amount of time will always give you the advantage while purchasing a preforeclosure or foreclosed property.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Bradley E.

Earnest money is intended to demonstrate that you are "in earnest" about purchasing the property.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The earnest money check is normally made out to the listing company. What happens to this check? The party holding the check acts as an escrow agent until you go into closing.  At that time you will receive credit for the amount of your check against the down payment and closing costs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Real estate brokers are required by law to keep escrow funds in a special account. These funds cannot be used to pay any other expenses associated with the sale. If you don't complete the transaction, the purchase contract determines the disposition of your earnest money funds. Be sure to review this part of your contract with the real estate agent. If you are in default on your agreement, the funds may go to the sellers, so be sure that you understand the deadlines in order to avoid breach of contract and forfeiture of your deposit.  If you have any questions, be sure to ask us for advice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bradley E.

This downturn was preceded by several years of rising home prices in our area. The driving force fueling the rise in home prices was the availability of low interest money. Easy availability of home mortgage money, plus historically low interest rates, allowed the demand side of the market to build.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When buyers could expect 15 percent to 30 percent appreciation and get 6 percent interest rates, who would not be motivated to buy? It was a no-brainer! Of course, high demand leads to higher prices. And, high demand leads to more new homes, as builders respond to the demand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The underlying expectation was that the market value of the home would increase quickly, and the buyers would be covered, if they needed to sell. Home ownership became speculative.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sub-prime, alternative, no-doc and other high risk loans are not limited to low income or poor credit buyers and are not always predatory. Often, very sophisticated borrowers chose to keep their cash and leverage the purchase. In all price ranges, the easy availability of low interest money fueled the demand for home ownership, as well as investment in rental property. Inevitably, the demand for homes led to price increases and elevated inventories. Then, the cycle was broken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What caused the break? Foreclosures. Investors soon realized mortgage-backed securities contained more risk than expected, and they stopped buying them. Suddenly, lenders did not have this new market for selling many of their loans. Without the flow of funds for easy mortgages, demand for homes slowed down. Prices began to fall and oversupply conditions prevailed. This has created challenging conditions for many home sellers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, real estate markets are local and some localities will fare better than others. But, in nearly all areas, the effects of the new tighter requirements for home mortgages will slow the market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the next year, sellers will have to consider the fundamentals to attract a buyer. They will need competitive pricing, excellent presentation and top-level marketing. Buyers will have to have a down payment, good credit and proper income for their loan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are your local experts, we provide excellent, honest representation, and hold honesty and integrity above all else.

The current rate of 5.25 percent has been in place since June 2006. The last time the Fed reduced its target rate was June 2003, when it was cut to 1 percent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tuesday's meeting, the sixth of eight scheduled for 2007, is the first since a global credit crunch erupted in August. On Aug. 17, the Fed, after an unscheduled meeting, responded to the crisis by trimming a special rate, called the discount rate, it charges banks for emergency loans to 5.75 percent from 6.25 percent. But the rate on overnight loans between banks, called the federal funds rate, stayed at 5.25 percent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prospects for a recession or worsening inflation are uncertain and debatable. Nonetheless, at least three opportunities for additional action confront Fed policymakers Tuesday: the fed funds rate, the discount rate and the statement typically issued after Fed policy meetings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the uncertain housing market looming, foreclosures steadily rising, and durable goods increasing, the balancing act is a tough one.&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt; It's wait and see. &lt;/span&gt;Perhaps to avoid a recession, the Fed just may do the same. Keep in mind, the Feds decision to lower the key rate is by no means clear whether your ability to obtain a mortgage, even with a large down payment and excellent credit record, will improve anytime soon. So perhaps, the Fed should do the same. &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Wait and see...... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bradley E.

An agent’s track record is important because:&lt;br /&gt;85%-90% of agents never make it through their first year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your home is probably your single largest asset. In fact, if you are like most Americans your home makes up the lion's share of your net worth. So presumably, you want the most qualified person you can find to advise you about the market and the sale process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are over 30,000 agents in the Dade and Broward counties, and only 5% of them could be considered successful by accepted industry standards based on sales volume. So why not call or contact me today. (305) 776-6113 &lt;a href="mailto:ClientCare@ArnowitzProperties.com"&gt;ClientCare@ArnowitzProperties.com&lt;/a&gt; for &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;FREE, Confidential Information wheter your plan on purchasing a home or selling your own. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SELLER INFORMATION:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get the Straight Facts About What Can Make or Break the Sale of Your Home. Choose a Top Real Estate Agent.&lt;br /&gt;Selling your home is one of the most important decisions you will make in your life. How much is it REALLY worth? How long will it take to sell? How do you handle buyers making undesirable offers?&lt;br /&gt;As a top real estate agent with years of experience and a proven track record, it is my job to guide you through this complicated process, from beginning to end. I want you to get the maximum value for your home, within YOUR time frame. Here are just some of the things that I will do to market and sell your home:&lt;br /&gt;- Buyers want to buy your home for as little as possible! Through detailed comparisons between your home and recently sold homes, and other properties currently on the market, together we can determine what your home is really worth in today's market. In the industry this is called a Comparative Market Analysis or CMA. I will do this for you, for free.&lt;br /&gt;- Buyers have their own timelines, which might not be yours! I make sure they don't waste your time by qualifying them as to their real ability to afford your home.&lt;br /&gt;- More buyers interested in your home means more money in your pocket when it is sold. My extensive marketing of your home assures you of maximum value. For example, this web site will market your property all across the web. It will appear on Yahoo Real Estate, Microsoft MSN HomeAdvisor, and other top national sites. I can place your home on my web site within a few minutes time!&lt;br /&gt;- When we begin marketing your home, I will immediately notify all the buyers that I am helping find their ideal home. I'll also notify all the real estate agents in this area that I work with, who quickly tell their homebuyers. It is a powerful way to jump-start the sale of your home!&lt;br /&gt;- You and a member of my team or I will walk through your home together. I will advise you how to present your property to maximize its selling price. Some improvements are worth it, and some are not! Be careful.&lt;br /&gt;- Contracts are complicated, and intimidating. You don't want to go to a closing with some doubts. You will have the full benefit of my real estate experience and knowledge for a smooth and successful closing. I recommend that you do not sign on any dotted lines without asking me first.&lt;br /&gt;- I will make sure you conform to any and all Florida statutory disclosure requirements. I will also inform you of any inspections that you should consider having done ahead of time to smooth the negotiating process with buyers, and to ensure a successful escrow and closing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You pay no up front costs for my services! So you can bet that I will work hard to get your home sold, for as much as this market will possibly bear. I will also work within your time frame and your needs. For example, sometimes it can be hard to sell and move out of your current home, and buy and move into a new home, all at the same time! I can help smooth this out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Call or email me. Ask for a free In-Home Presentation. I will come to your home or office, and present you a plan that details exactly how I will market your home. There is absolutely no obligation so don't let this opportunity pass. It is part of my job as a top real estate agent to offer you this service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ask me ANY question about selling your home or property. Or request my FREE in-home presentation of how I would market your property. There's no obligation, and I promise to get back to you quickly...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.arnowitzproperties.com/"&gt;http://www.arnowitzproperties.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:ClientCare@ArnowitzProperties.com"&gt;ClientCare@ArnowitzProperties.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(305) 776-6113&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WE ARE AVAILABLE TO YOU 24/7, SEVEN DAY'S A WEEK..&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AND WE PRIDE OURSELVES BY PLACING HONESTY, INTEGRITY, and RESULTS ABOVE ALL ELSE.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BUYER INFORMATION:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Buying a Home Requires Many Difficult Decisions. Top Local Expert, here is how I will guide you through the entire process, from viewing homes and financing, to making sure the final contract is in your best interest:&lt;br /&gt;- You will have full access to ALL homes available on the market, even listings not yet on the MLS, through my professional Florida real estate affiliations.&lt;br /&gt;- My expert local knowledge of the area should be invaluable to you, not just in terms of real estate, but also schools, neighborhoods, the local economy, and more.&lt;br /&gt;- Every local real estate market absolutely has its own trends and opportunities. This can vary greatly, even one neighborhood to the next. It's my job to steer you into opportunities and out of traps.&lt;br /&gt;- What is the true market value of the home you are interested in? Is it priced too high? Is it a bargain that you should jump on? I help home buyers make decisions like this every day, and I'll make sure that YOU get the best value for your money.&lt;br /&gt;- Negotiating with sellers can be stressful. I will help you negotiate, so that the final contract includes your best possible terms and conditions.&lt;br /&gt;- You should know absolutely everything about the property you are buying! You and I will view every home that you are interested in, together. And prior to closing I will make you fully aware of any and all inspections available to you.&lt;br /&gt;- Have confidence when signing documents. Contracts are full of complicated terms and clauses that can greatly affect your future life in your new home. I will give you the full benefit of my real estate knowledge and experience.&lt;br /&gt;Let me represent your best interests in your search for a new home in the area. While you can see a million homes on the web, actually buying your home is another matter entirely. Buyers beware!&lt;br /&gt;Ask me any question about buying a home in South Florida. It's my job to help you! There's no obligation, and I promise to respond quickly...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.arnowitzproperties.com/"&gt;http://www.arnowitzproperties.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:ClientCare@ArnowitzProperties.com"&gt;ClientCare@ArnowitzProperties.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(305) 776.6113&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;WE ARE AVAILABLE TO YOU 24/7, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;AND WE PRIDE OURSELVES BY PLACING HONESTY, INTEGRITY, and RESULTS, ABOVE ALL ELSE.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bradley E.

I prefer to look at this current cycle as an opportunity for savvy investors and buyers to cautiously step in and make some unbelievable purchases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lets look at it this way; Real Estate is cyclical in nature. Will the inner city [i.e. Brickell/Downtown Miami] ever come back? Who knows? Frankly, who cares! I prefer that we focus our attention on BEACH FRONT PROPERTY. After all, once it built, its built. And once its gone, its gone! No more sand left. No more room for growth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ask yourself this:&lt;br /&gt;What do most, if not all people who come to Florida want? Beach Front Property!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take advantage, do your research, ASK ME, "dip a toe in", and reflect on this:&lt;br /&gt;When was the last time you were able to purchase Oceanfront in Miami or Ft. Lauderdale at prices well below market?&lt;br /&gt;The answer, 25+ years ago when interest rates were at 15 - 18%&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ask yourself this:&lt;br /&gt;Am I able to sustain the property thru rental or other income and ride out the storm? Bad press and publicity, included. Remember this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WE ARE PURCHASING OCEANFRONT PROPERTY ONLY.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its time to consider your options. Remember, their is just so much sand to build on. Once its gone, its gone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I welcome your reply,&lt;br /&gt;Bradley E.

The second part, pegged at $15.6 billion, requires all cities and counties to roll back tax rates for the 2007-08 fiscal year to the previous year's levels. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gov. Charlie Crist says in a prepared statement this decision will help property taxes "drop like a rock." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I congratulate Senate President Ken Pruitt and House Speaker Marco Rubio and the many other legislators who have worked tirelessly to build consensus among the members of the Legislature and deliver the largest tax cut in Florida history," Crist says. "By lowering property insurance rates and cutting property taxes, we will create a better bottom line for Floridians and for Florida." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to details of the plan, the super exemption will give homesteaded properties a 75-percent exemption of the first $200,000 in value of a home with a minimum exemption of $50,000 per homestead. In addition, properties eligible for homestead exemption will obtain another 15 percent exemption for the next $300,000 in value. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That plan also will grandfather the tax savings and assessment cap for the smaller number of property owners who receive a bigger break under "Save Our Homes," as well as preserve all existing exemptions now provided to disabled veterans, low income seniors and agricultural lands. The Legislature also says it intends to "hold schools harmless" from the cut in school funding they will get from municipalities, who will are expected to receive reduced revenues through this plan. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, the rollback plan, which would not require voters approval, says local governments also have to make additional cuts of 3, 5, 7 or 9 percent, determined by a formula that measures each municipalities' taxing performance over the past five years against a statewide average. Special taxing districts and "fiscally limited" cities and counties will be held to the 3 percent additional cut. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The plan also caps future property tax revenues based on the rate of personal income growth and new construction, to ensure government cannot grow faster than personal income. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visit us on the web @ www.ArnowitzProperties.com&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5508023263970640152-4543204271456397078?l=arnowitzproperties.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://arnowitzproperties.blogspot.com/feeds/4543204271456397078/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5508023263970640152&amp;postID=4543204271456397078' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5508023263970640152/posts/default/4543204271456397078'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5508023263970640152/posts/default/4543204271456397078'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://arnowitzproperties.blogspot.com/2007/06/legislators-approve-316b-property-tax.html' title='Legislators approve $31.6B property tax plan'/><author><name>Bradley E.

It’s important to keep in mind that all real estate is local, and many markets are expected to have higher sales and strengthening prices during the second half of this year.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Existing-home sales are projected to total 6.18 million in 2007 and 6.41 million next year, in contrast with 6.48 million in 2006.

Housing starts are likely to total 1.43 million units in 2007 and 1.49 million next year, below the 1.80 million recorded in 2006.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The national median existing-home price should ease by 1.3 percent to $219,100 in 2007 before rising 1.7 percent next year. The median new-home price will probably fall 2.3 percent to $240,800 this year, and then grow by 2.6 percent in 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We continue to experience a temporary distortion in comparing median existing-home prices,” Yun says. “Because the sales volume has shifted from many high-cost areas to moderately priced markets, we’re not getting a true apples-to-apples comparison. When you look at other measures, such as this week’s price index from Freddie Mac, which is based on repeat sales, overall home prices are rising slowly.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yun says that buyers today need to have a traditional view of housing “as a long-term investment that is an added benefit to their shelter expense. If so, that investment generally will build a nice nest egg over time, especially if they use a traditional mortgage instrument that reduces debt,” Yun says.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage is likely to increase to 6.6 percent in the third quarter and then hover at that level through 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Because of reductions in home sales and new home construction, the economy will expand at a subpar pace in 2007,” Yun says. “As housing market conditions improve going into 2008, the economy will reach back to its growth potential next year.” Growth in the U.S. gross domestic product is estimated at 2.0 percent this year, lower than the 3.3 percent growth in 2006. Yun forecasts GDP to grow 3.0 percent in 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The unemployment rate is projected to average 4.6 percent in 2007, unchanged from last year. Inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index, is expected to decline to 2.5 percent this year, down from 3.2 percent in 2006. Inflation-adjusted disposable personal income is likely to rise 2.8 percent this year, compared with a 2.6 percent increase in 2006.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;© 2007 FLORIDA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visit us on the web.  www.ArnowitzProperties.com&lt;br /&gt;Arnowitz &amp; Associates.

That was far better than the tiny 0.2 percent gain that economists had been expecting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Investors were enthusiastic after the Commerce Department’s report. The Dow Jones industrials surged 74.68, or 0.55 percent, 13,604.80 soon after the housing numbers came out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Areas in South Florida are firming and showing signs of strength. A few of these areas are Sunny Isles, Bal Harbour, Bay Harbour, Hallandale, and Aventura. Prices are firming and beginning to edge higher. After all, news media and sensationalistic TV would have you believe that the entire housing market has burst.

Their version would exempt 50 percent of a home’s value for homesteaded owners. Other property owners could exempt 25 percent of their value for tax purposes up to a maximum of $250,000 for larger commercial properties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;House Republicans had suggested a similar plan earlier, but with more dramatic exempt amounts. Some leading state senators have also expressed support for this type of tax-cutting plan, though all parties still remain far apart in the amount of the exemption. House Speaker Marco Rubio earlier suggested an exemption as high as 80 percent for homesteaded owners, though he was less clear on the amount other owners should enjoy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A meeting of the joint House-Senate takes place on Monday at 1 p.m. in Tallahassee, one of two interim meetings scheduled before the full Legislature returns for a special session Jun 12-22.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source: The Orlando Sentinel, May 17, 2007&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;© 2007 FLORIDA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arnowitz &amp; Associates.

Economic growth slowed sharply in the first quarter of this year to an annual pace of 1.3 percent, the slowest pace in four years, and job creation in April slowed to its lowest level in two years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But unemployment remains well below 5 percent, a level that many economists consider tantamount to full employment, and consumer spending has remained surprisingly strong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fed officials have openly acknowledged that they face greater uncertainty in both directions — the possibility of that growth will slow more expected and the possibility that prices and wages will climb faster than expected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amid that mixed economic signals, the Fed seemed determined to keep its options open and to avoid any implied promises about its next move on interest rates. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Fed is now nearing the one-year mark of standing pat. After raising the overnight federal funds rate at every policy meeting from June 2004 to June 2006, the central bank’s ostensibly temporary pause in rate changes has a good chance of lasting until this fall or even longer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arnowitz &amp; Associates.

My client was seeking knowledge on how he could secure the best deal on his commercial loan. During my research I happened upon a great article by Irwin Speizer from Work.com. It is informative and includes many links for additional research.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Tips and strategies to land the best deals on commercial real estate loans&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to buy or expand an office complex, warehouse or retail building, you need a commercial mortgage. Commercial loan rates can vary considerably based on the amount, duration and type of loan as well as on the lender. That's why it's so important to choose the right commercial mortgage lender. Doing so can help you:&lt;br /&gt;1. Secure financing to buy or expand your business property.&lt;br /&gt;2. Secure a long-term location without rental rate hikes.&lt;br /&gt;3. Profit from the increase in value of your business property.&lt;br /&gt;4. Secure a mortgage loan at a favorable rate and term.&lt;br /&gt;5. Increase your tax deductions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Action Steps. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best contacts and resources to help you get it done&lt;br /&gt;Prepare your financialsCommercial mortgage lenders want to see hard evidence that you can repay the loan, including financial statements, balance statements, profit-and-loss statements, projected cash flow statements and more. Lenders may want to see a business plan as well as background information on you and your partners.&lt;br /&gt;I recommend:&lt;br /&gt;Keep this &lt;a href="http://www.work.com/rd/index.asp?bdcz=w.web.1.e&amp;bdcf=2FA151D0-FCD5-46CC-AD51-02305190253B&amp;amp;partner=bdc&amp;bdcu=http%3A%2F%2Ffdc.mortgage101.com%2Fcontent%2Ftemplate5%2Farticles.asp%3Fcategory%3Dcommercial%26article%3D1184%26p%3Dhomehug%26acctid%3D302487" target="_blank"&gt;commercial loan readiness checklist&lt;/a&gt; handy so you know which financial statements to prepare.

Most commercial mortgage lenders require certain percentages for three important ratios: debt service coverage ratio (DSCR), loan to value ratio (LTV) and debt ratio. DSCR is the net operating income divided by the mortgage payments. LTV is the total loan amount divided by the fair market value of the property. Debt ratio is determined by dividing your monthly debt obligations by your monthly income.&lt;br /&gt;I recommend:&lt;br /&gt;Keep abreast of commercial loan rates and use the &lt;a href="http://www.work.com/rd/index.asp?bdcz=w.web.1.e&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;bdcf=2FA151D0-FCD5-46CC-AD51-02305190253B&amp;partner=bdc&amp;amp;bdcu=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.commercialbanc.com%2FDebtService.html" target="_blank"&gt;debt service calculator&lt;/a&gt; courtesy of CommercialBanc.com to estimate your DSCR. Shop for mortgage lendersThe commercial mortgage and commercial lending market is crowded with bankers and commercial mortgage brokers eager to place your loan. Choosing one requires careful consideration of rates, terms, duration, down payment and other conditions. Often the bank that handles your business checking accounts may be willing to offer you a commercial mortgage loan at an attractive rate or with favorable terms in order to get more of your business.&lt;br /&gt;I recommend:&lt;br /&gt;Among the big banks that offer commercial mortgage loans to small businesses are &lt;a href="http://www.work.com/rd/index.asp?bdcz=w.web.1.e&amp;bdcf=2FA151D0-FCD5-46CC-AD51-02305190253B&amp;amp;partner=bdc&amp;bdcu=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wellsfargo.com%2Fcom%2Frealestate_fin%2Fcmo%2F" target="_blank"&gt;Wells Fargo&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.work.com/rd/index.asp?bdcz=w.web.1.e&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;bdcf=2FA151D0-FCD5-46CC-AD51-02305190253B&amp;partner=bdc&amp;amp;bdcu=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.citibank.com%2Fus%2Fcitibusiness%2Fcredit.htm%3FProspectID%3D7B17E08A6EF8444787B26E18BECF7342%26BVE%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fweb%252Eda%252Dus%252Ecitibank%252Ecom%26BVP%3D%252Fcgi%252Dbin%252Fcitifi%252Fscripts%252F%26BV_UseBVCookie%3Dyes" target="_blank"&gt;Citibank&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.work.com/rd/index.asp?bdcz=w.web.1.e&amp;bdcf=2FA151D0-FCD5-46CC-AD51-02305190253B&amp;amp;partner=bdc&amp;bdcu=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wachovia.com%2Fsmall_biz%2Fpage%2F0%2C%2C441_560%2C00.html" target="_blank"&gt;Wachovia&lt;/a&gt;, which allows you to apply online.

Negotiate a deal and close the loan-Choose two or three lenders that seem to offer the best deals and most closely match what you need. Negotiate with each one, letting them know that you're shopping several other sources. Having options gives you at least some leverage in the negotiation process. Once you have decided on your top pick, proceed to finalizing your commercial mortgage loan. It's wise to use an attorney to review the loan documents and make sure your interests are served and protected. Your attorney can also help walk you through the closing.&lt;br /&gt;I recommend:&lt;br /&gt;The Capital Consortium offers a number of &lt;a href="http://www.work.com/rd/index.asp?bdcz=w.web.1.e&amp;bdcf=2FA151D0-FCD5-46CC-AD51-02305190253B&amp;amp;partner=bdc&amp;bdcu=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.capitalconsortium.org%2F" target="_blank"&gt;sample mortgage loan documents&lt;/a&gt; online for review.

Then apply again, perhaps with a different lender.&lt;br /&gt;Watch for balloons:&lt;br /&gt;Commercial mortgage loans are often for periods of 10 years or less, with the entire remaining amount due at the end of the term as a balloon payment. Be prepared to refinance or pay off the balance.&lt;br /&gt;Down payments required:&lt;br /&gt;Most lenders require at least a 20 percent down payment on a commercial loan.&lt;br /&gt;Look for hidden costs:&lt;br /&gt;Extra loan fees and costs can add up. Lower-interest loans can sometimes cost more because of extra fees and charges.&lt;br /&gt;Keep your credit clean:&lt;br /&gt;If you have other business credit lines, keep them up to date and out of trouble. Any bad credit marks can make mortgage lenders leery.&lt;br /&gt;Pay attention to restrictions:&lt;br /&gt;Mortgage lenders will sometimes impose restrictions on the use of your property as a condition of the loan. Be sure to ask about any restrictions and make sure that you agree with them. &lt;a name="prov"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Recommended Solution Providers:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.work.com/rd/index.asp?bdcu=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.key.com%2Fhtml%2FI-1.2.html&amp;amp;amp;amp;bdcf=2FA151D0-FCD5-46CC-AD51-02305190253B&amp;bdcr=1&amp;amp;partner=bdc&amp;bdcz=w.web.2.e&amp;amp;bdcs=D60D9FD6-0350-414E-834F-C552448F77EF2007541534978_worka" target="_blank"&gt;Key Small Business: Loans and Lines of Credit&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Offers small businesses term loans and lines of credit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.work.com/rd/index.asp?bdcu=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wachovia.com%2Fsmall_biz%2Fpage%2F0%2C%2C441%2C00.html&amp;amp;amp;bdcf=2FA151D0-FCD5-46CC-AD51-02305190253B&amp;bdcr=2&amp;amp;partner=bdc&amp;bdcz=w.web.2.e&amp;amp;bdcs=D60D9FD6-0350-414E-834F-C552448F77EF2007541534978_worka" target="_blank"&gt;Wachovia Small Business: Lending&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Small business credit options including commercial mortgage, business and construction loans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.work.com/rd/index.asp?bdcu=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.citibank.com%2Fus%2Frealestategroup%2Fproduct%2Fcmi.cgi&amp;bdcf=2FA151D0-FCD5-46CC-AD51-02305190253B&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;bdcr=3&amp;partner=bdc&amp;amp;bdcz=w.web.2.e&amp;bdcs=D60D9FD6-0350-414E-834F-C552448F77EF2007541534978_worka" target="_blank"&gt;Citibank Commercial Real Estate Group&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Includes lending options for retail, office and industrial uses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.work.com/rd/index.asp?bdcu=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.usbank.com%2Fcgi_w%2Fcfm%2Fsmall_business%2Fsub_global%2Fsmall_bus_info.cfm&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;bdcf=2FA151D0-FCD5-46CC-AD51-02305190253B&amp;bdcr=4&amp;amp;partner=bdc&amp;bdcz=w.web.2.e&amp;amp;bdcs=D60D9FD6-0350-414E-834F-C552448F77EF2007541534978_worka" target="_blank"&gt;US Bank: Small Business Services&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Includes commercial lending and commercial construction lending services.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.work.com/rd/index.asp?bdcu=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.businessfinance.com%2Fcommercial-mortgages.htm&amp;bdcf=2FA151D0-FCD5-46CC-AD51-02305190253B&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;bdcr=5&amp;partner=bdc&amp;amp;bdcz=w.web.2.e&amp;bdcs=D60D9FD6-0350-414E-834F-C552448F77EF2007541534978_worka" target="_blank"&gt;Business Finance: Commercial Mortgages&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Search commercial mortgage sources by capital type or funding category.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.work.com/rd/index.asp?bdcu=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lendingtree.com%2Fstm3%2Floans%2Fcommercial&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;bdcf=2FA151D0-FCD5-46CC-AD51-02305190253B&amp;bdcr=6&amp;amp;partner=bdc&amp;bdcz=w.web.2.e&amp;amp;bdcs=D60D9FD6-0350-414E-834F-C552448F77EF2007541534978_worka" target="_blank"&gt;LendingTree.com&lt;/a&gt;

But there's more going on.&lt;br /&gt;A sharp rise in equitable-divorce parenting setups has more fathers doing a juggling act. While custody setups in the past had children living with one parent and visiting the other on weekends, now the trend is toward shared parenting arrangements with kids splitting their living time between Mom and Dad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conquering the time- management challenge for these fathers takes serious negotiations and often, changes at work. As Father's Day approaches, I spoke with some divorced dads who balance the consuming demands of earning a paycheck with child care in an era in which Dad still is supposed to put his job first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are testing their employer's family-friendly policies, creating their own flexible arrangements and dealing with the emergencies that crop up with children.&lt;br /&gt;''There used to be a presumption against joint custody, but the reality today is more and more fathers are wanting and getting it,'' said Robert Merlin, a Coral Gables family lawyer. ``That may mean they have to change the way they live their lives.''&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One Miami father has done just that. &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Bradley Arnowitz's&lt;/span&gt; twin daughters are toddlers, the age when child-care issues often interrupt work schedules. Just a year ago, Arnowitz faced the working mom's nightmare -- a nanny crisis. When his nanny didn't show up one morning, Arnowitz resorted to bringing his girls with him to show a home to a potential buyer. ''Now I call them my deal closers,'' he says.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Arnowitz&lt;/span&gt; knows he's fortunate. As a real estate agent who sets his own schedule, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Arnowitz &lt;/span&gt;can zip home at lunchtime to pick his twins up from preschool or leave mid-afternoon to take them to gymnastics. He can lug the 2-year-olds along on a work appointment without repercussions to his advancement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MAJOR CHANGES&lt;br /&gt;Still, the 37-year-old &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Arnowitz&lt;/span&gt; says he has made major changes post-divorce, settling into a life in which his daughters are with him three days a week and every other weekend. To cope, he teamed up with his former competitor, gave up his side job as a spinning instructor and moved his real estate company's main office closer to his home in Aventura. He employs a full-time nanny to assure coverage for days when the girls are in his care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;''I have foregone income and made sacrifices personally and professionally, but I fought hard for this arrangement,'' says &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Arnowitz&lt;/span&gt;, principal of International Realty Trust Group. To be sure, divorced mothers make similar sacrifices and are three times as likely to have primary custody of children under 18. However, more than 1 million divorced fathers have children who live with them more than part time, and that number rises each year, according to Census figures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PROMOTION SACRIFICED&lt;br /&gt;But even in today's family-friendly workplaces, it can be tough for a dad who needs to pick a child up from after-school care by dinner time. One divorced dad told me he sacrificed a promotion because he leaves work at 5 p.m. two days a week to pick up his sons from school. Managers at his company, he says, are expected to work late.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About two out of five single fathers believe they will jeopardize job advancement by using flexible work arrangements, a 2002 survey by the Families and Work Institute shows. Men are less willing to take that risk, the survey shows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;David Sacks, chief of anesthesiology at Plantation General Hospital, says he tries to accommodate requests from divorced fathers who have their kids specific days of the week. He himself is a divorced father who shares custody of his two daughters with his ex- wife, Lisa.&lt;br /&gt;Sacks says he has set up a support system that includes Lisa and a nanny/baby sitter who drives the girls to school on the mornings they are with him and he starts work at 7 a.m. While it can be challenging blending schedules with his job and his ex-wife, Sacks says shared custody pays off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;''I feel like I'm a major player in bringing up my kids versus an observer,'' he says.&lt;br /&gt;David Levy, CEO of Children's Rights Council, says most states, including Florida, now encourage shared parenting. ``There is evidence that kids tend to have better relationships with both parents, are less involved in crime and drugs, finish high school and go on to college.''&lt;br /&gt;Now, the burden of bringing workplaces up-to-date seems to rest on dads themselves. &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;So far, Arnowitz, clients and staff are understanding: ``I can be at the park with my BlackBerry and my Bluetooth. I can make it work, because in the end, it's all about the kids.''&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;Arnowitz &amp;amp; Associates, Taking Over The Market, One Property At A Time...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visit us on the web&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.ArnowitzProperties.com"&gt;www.ArnowitzProperties.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5508023263970640152-8845710097623502831?l=arnowitzproperties.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://arnowitzproperties.blogspot.com/feeds/8845710097623502831/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5508023263970640152&amp;postID=8845710097623502831' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5508023263970640152/posts/default/8845710097623502831'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5508023263970640152/posts/default/8845710097623502831'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://arnowitzproperties.blogspot.com/2007/04/dads-in-charge.html' title='Dad&apos;s In Charge'/><author><name>Bradley E.
