(Now you are saying “what is she talking about”)

Well here is the deal, a post is supposed to have between 300 and 500 words to catch the reader’s attention AND I have no idea how to come up with some many words about comparable properties for Seminole isle. I do not think there are any and I challenge everybody to correct me and give me a good comparable.

At this point you can buy a 1500 square feet condo in Seminole Isle between $160,000 to $180,000. The condo and townhouses are 6 years old, high ceilings, open floor plans, granite countertops, lot of architectural details, nice size balconies, a master bathroom to die for and on goes the list……in a gated waterfront community with a pool, tennis courts, gym, fishing dock, boat dock and a little private beach right on the lake and close to the beaches and only 30 minutes away from Tampabay airport. (I am at 183 words right now)

Everything else you can get is either 20 years older or 20 minutes farther from the beaches or has hardly any amenities or is much smaller or doesn’t have cover parking or has no balconies or isn’t gated or is age restricted or or or (236 words by now) so as much as I would love to give you at least 300 word or a bunch of good comparable properties, I am sorry but both won’t happen in this post.

Seminole Isle | Seminole Isle Short Sales | Realtors who are doing Short Sales

Realtors who are going Short Sales, are becoming more and more available. However, when you are choosing a Short Sale specialist for your Short Sale in Seminole Isle, it is important, to ask them, if they are familiar with the complex!

Not every Short Sale agent will be able to catch up with a complex like Seminole Isle! You have to know the market and the complex in order to represent you properly.

Here is why we think this is so important. A town home in Seminole Isle got listed by an Agent, who might be a short sale specialist but seems to know nothing about Seminole Isle. We actually talked to that agent and he was super surprised, that within an hour after listing that particular townhome, the agent received an offer sight unseen! The Agent was all excited and couldn’t believe it.

Here is the question we posed: “wouldn’t  you buy something sight unseen $60,000 below today’s market value?”

The reason why this is upsetting is, because

a)      ALL lenders do a BPO (a brokers price opinion or appraisal) prior to issuing approval

b)      How will this sale be approved by ANY lender $60,000 below market value?

c)       If the buyer wasn’t educated by their Agent, can you imagine his or her reaction in getting a counter offer?

d)      It makes Seminole Isle look cheap and less what it’s worth

e)      It makes every buyers agent job that much harder to convince buyers to put in offers, that are based on market value

We could go on and on with the list of things what this doing to the market, the current sellers and the Realtors, who have been Seminole Isle condos and townhomes for years!

Seminole Isle | Market update for  Seminole Isle

Here is another market update for Seminole Isle condos and townhomes as of today. It amazes us, with what speed, this beautiful gated subdivision is picking up speed as far as the market activity is concerned.

condo front Seminole Isle

7391 Islamorada Cir, 3/2.5 townhome was li

sted on February 2^nd. After 2 days on the market it is under contract!

7025 Conch Blvd, also a townhome was listed early January. The current status is under contract!

7076 Islamorada Cir under contract after 9 days!

7139 Islamorada Cir under contract after 2 days!

7368 Islamorada Cir under contract after 1 day!

7070 Key Haven Rd # 402, a 1,700 sq ft 2/2  condo with bonus room and great water views is under contract after 25 days of being listed!

7070 Key Haven Rd #504, a 1,500 sq ft 2/2 condo with a bonus room went under contract after 9 days!

7296 Marathon Dr #504, a 1,700 sq ft 2/2 with a bonus room went under contract after 35 days after it was listed!

10002 Key Haven Rd #203, a 1,500 2/2 condo with the extra large balcony was listed as a short sale, the contract fell through and was listed again in early January. After only 14 days it went under contract again and is now sold!

Those are super encouraging numbers and a drastic reduction of days on the market in Seminole Isle. We often get asked, why is Seminole Isle picking up in market activity so dramatically? The answer is fairly simple.

All buyers have a “wish list” of things they want in their new place such as high ceilings, granite counter tops, large kitchen with lots of storage, high end appliances, large master suites, large bathrooms, nice size balconies, utilities that are not just “stuffed” into a hallway closet, dining room, space for an office, nice flooring and on and on goes the list. And that is just for the inside of the condos.

Now add the amenities you are getting in Seminole Isle such as it being a gated community, having a 24/7 guard, tennis courts, walking trails, gym, pool, club house, lake access, screened in BBQ huts, private beach area and much more.

All those facts convince every buyer who still was on the fence so to speak. On top of it, Seminole Isle welcomes Pets!
