 Dear Ken:
Our experience buying a home in Florida was outstanding thanks to you. We had the chance to meet you just in time to avoid buying the wrong one. Now we have a beautiful home, a great investment and hopefully a lifetime friendship. Thank you Ken, we will certainly refer to you all the friends that are willing to invest in Florida.

Hey Dude

 Great job on the home deal. Eagle Marsh is perfect for us, we just joined the golf course hopefully we finally get to play that game. Jensen Beach is everything you said it would be. All the entertainment is right on our door step. Anyone needing a real estate agent this is the man.

 Ken is the best and together we found exactly what we were looking for! We were referred to Ken from our friends Mike and Janet after their great experience. Shopping long distance for the perfect house was not easy but Ken had the patience and humor to make it all work. He was always available to show us whatever properties, wherever and whenever we wanted. He had a great understanding of what we wanted and wouldn’t stop until we found it. He was always quick to respond to questions and inquiries. Throughout the whole transaction, he did whatever it took to get it done! We love our new home! Thanks, Ken!!

“Ken Duncan would probably be excellent at any job, but lucky for you if you’re looking for a house in Port St Lucie area, his job is to help you and he certainly helped me. He’s competent, warm and committed to the Port St Lucie community, where he seems to know the area well. Despite his success and numerous clients, I always felt as though I was the only one on his schedule. He was available evenings and weekends – whenever I wanted to look at a house, and after we made a successful offer, whenever I had a question about the process Ken was there.

Ken introduced us to the neighborhood I ultimately chose. He held our hands through the offer process and several complications that arose prior to closing. And he continues to be a source of contacts and advice as we settle into our house.

Thank you Ken you found the perfect house for my daughter and me.”

“Your dedication and skills are an inspiration.”

To anyone buying property in the Port St. Lucie, Stuart, Jensen Beach and surrounding areas: Don’t waste your time with other realtors. Go to the best. KEN DUNCAN. After communicating with Ken for a few months, I (and a friend of mine)set a date to come from Mass to Florida to buy homes. We only had a few days to look and Ken surpassed all our expectations. Ken spent virtually four days and nights finding us both homes. This is not counting the time he spent prior to our arrival setting up appointments for us to see houses. Ken showed unfailing patiences and desire to find us the homes we now own. FYI: take his advise on mortgage companies, insurance and othe information. You can’t go wrong!

We called Ken from our home in Bavaria looking for an ocean front home near Stuart. Within a day we had a complete list of exactly what we were looking for. We have since recommended Ken to several of our friends here in Germany.

We contacted Ken Duncan realtor regarding an equestrian property in South Florida. As we are from Switzerland we figured this to be an extremly difficult transaction to complete. Though we have not yet proceded with the purchase Ken is still supplying us with properties and hopefully in the not to distant future we will go ahead with our purchase. Than you so much Ken for all your help and information on the area.

We had a great stay at your vacation rental in City Place.We were really unsure about staying there as there were quite a few cheaper condos available in other areas but everything you said was true.
Staying at City Place was like staying at a resort, everything we could have possibly wanted was right on our door step. To bad Disney could not build a park in the area and then a vacation rental in City Place would be heaven.
Thanks again

Ken
Thank you so much for selling my home in Stuart.
The next step in our lives has begun in Maine, we thought we would never get our home sold but you did it. I have passed your details onto several of my colleges who may require the services of a very good Jensen Beach realtor in the near future. If you are ever in Maine you know you are more than welcome to visit us.

Thanks again.

Pending Home Sales on a Record Roll

Pending home sales on a record roll 

WASHINGTON – Sept. 1, 2009 – Contract activity for pending home sales has risen for six straight months, a pattern not seen in the history of the index since it began in 2001, according to the National Association of Realtors® (NAR).

The Pending Home Sales Index, a forward-looking indicator based on contracts signed in July, increased 3.2 percent to 97.6 from a reading of 94.6 in June. It’s also 12.0 percent higher than July 2008 when it was at 87.1. The index is at its highest level since June 2007.

Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, says housing market momentum has clearly turned for the better. “The recovery is broad-based across many parts of the country. Housing affordability has been at record highs this year with the added stimulus of a first-time buyer tax credit.

“Other buyers are taking advantage of low home values before prices turn higher,” Yun says. “Nationally, the typical mortgage payment now takes less than 25 percent of a middle-income family’s monthly income to buy a median priced home, with payment percentages so far in 2009 being the lowest on record dating back to 1970. As long as home buyers stay within their budget, mortgage payments will be very manageable.”

NAR estimates that about 1.8 to 2.0 million first-time buyers will take advantage of the $8,000 tax credit this year, with approximately 350,000 additional sales that would not have taken place without the credit. Buyers have little time to act because they must complete the transaction by Nov. 30 to qualify for the credit. Unless extended, contracts signed but not completed by that date will not be eligible – it is taking approximately two months to complete home sales in the current market.

The Pending Home Sales Index in the Northeast declined 3.0 percent to 78.8 in July but is 4.7 percent higher than July 2008. In the Midwest, the index slipped 2.0 percent to 88.1 but is 8.1 percent above a year ago. In the South, pending home sales activity rose 3.1 percent to an index of 103.8 in July and is 12.0 percent above July 2008. In the West the index jumped 12.1 percent to 112.5 and is 20.0 percent above a year ago.

NAR President Charles McMillan says Congress needs to keep the momentum going. “Even with a good recovery taking place, the market is not yet back to normal. With a gradual absorption of inventory, we are on the cusp of a general stabilization in home prices,” he says. “To ensure that housing has a broad stimulus to the overall economy and stays on sound footing, we’re encouraging Congress to extend the tax credit into 2010, and to expand it to all buyers of primary residences. The faster we stabilize home prices, the fewer families will face foreclosure and the quicker the credit can be extended to other sectors of the economy.”

NAR’s Housing Affordability Index (HAI) stood at 158.5 in July – below the peak set in April but still 36.0 percentage points higher than a year ago. The HAI is a broad measure of housing affordability using consistent values and assumptions over time, which examines the relationship between home prices, mortgage interest rates and family income.

Yun expects existing-home sales to rise through the fourth quarter. “Unless the tax credit is extended, no one should be surprised to see home sales drop in the first quarter of next year,” he said. “However, the fundamentals of the housing market and the economy are trending up, and we expect home sales to generally pick up in the second quarter of 2010. The buyer psychology may be shifting from, ‘Why buy now when I can purchase later,’ to ‘I don’t want to miss out on a recovery.’”
