ORLANDO, Fla. – March 23, 2010 – Florida’s existing home sales rose in February, which means that sales activity has increased in the year-to-year comparison for the past year and a half (18 months), according to the latest housing data released by Florida Realtors®. Golf Homes in Tesoro Port St Lucie
Existing home sales in South Florida increased 21 percent last month with a total of 11,890 homes sold statewide compared to 9,867 homes sold in February 2009, according to Florida Realtors. Statewide existing home sales last month increased 13.6 percent over statewide sales activity in January.

Florida Realtors also reported a 59 percent increase in statewide sales of existing condos in February compared to the previous year’s sales figure; statewide existing condo sales last month rose 9.8 percent over the total units sold in January.Golf Homes in Tesoro Port St Lucie
“Homebuyers should take advantage of favorable conditions in the current housing market,” said 2010 Florida Realtors® President Wendell Davis, a broker with Watson Realty Corp. in Jacksonville. “Mortgage rates remain near historic lows at just under 5 percent, but they won’t stay at that level forever. Plus, only six weeks are left before the extended and expanded homebuyer tax credit expires. First-time buyers and current homeowners who want to buy their next home in time to use the tax credit must have a purchase contract signed before the April 30 deadline – then they’ll have until June 30 to close the transaction.”
Seventeen of Florida’s metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) reported increased existing home sales in January, while all but one MSA had higher condo sales. A majority of the state’s MSAs have reported increased sales for 20 consecutive months. Golf Homes in Tesoro Port St Lucie

Florida’s median sales price for existing homes last month was $131,300; a year ago, it was $141,800 for a 7 percent decrease. Analysts with the National Association of Realtors® (NAR) note that sales of foreclosures and other distressed properties continue to downwardly distort the median price because they generally sell at a discount relative to traditional homes. The median is the midpoint; half the homes sold for more, half for less. Golf Homes in Tesoro Port St Lucie
The national median sales price for existing single-family homes in January 2010 was $163,600, down 0.4 percent from a year earlier, according to NAR. In Massachusetts, the statewide median resales price was $300,000 in January; in California, it was $287,440; in New York, it was $242,750; and in Maryland, it was $234,894.
NAR’s latest outlook predicts a surge in late spring home sales. “Activity should be picking up strongly in late spring as buyers take advantage of the tax credit, which is critical to absorb distressed properties reaching the market and to continually chip away at inventory levels,” said NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun. “If there is sufficient job creation, housing can become self-sustaining with stable to modestly rising home price Golf Homes in Tesoro Port St Lucie

In Florida’s year-to-year comparison for condos, 5,085 units sold statewide last month compared to 3,190 units in February 2009 for an increase of 59 percent. The statewide existing condo median sales price last month was $92,200; in February 2009 it was $109,100 for a 15 percent decrease. The national median existing condo price was $172,400 in January, according to NAR. Golf Homes in Tesoro Port St Lucie
Interest rates for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 4.99 percent last month, even lower than the average rate of 5.13 percent in February 2009, according to Freddie Mac. Florida Realtors’ sales figures reflect closings, which typically occur 30 to 90 days after sales contracts are written.

The market’s existing home median sales price last month was $96,600, slightly higher than the year-ago median price of $96,400. A total of 43 condos sold in the MSA in February compared to 33 units sold the same month a year earlier for an increase of 30 percent.

The Buriano estate, near Volterra, Tuscany
A 12th century estate close to Montecatini Val di Cecina and Volterra is being sensitively converted into panoramic apartments full of historic charm.
The ancient palazzo looms large over graceful cypresses, gnarled olive trees and a sea of fragile vines. At its feet, the rolling hills of Tuscany are a mosaic of green and umber splashed red with poppies. Montecatini val di Cecina is an extraordinary estate which captures the essence of the Tuscan dream. Italian luxury villa Tuscany farmhouse Tuscan apartment.
Buriano’s cream and dull red buildings have been standing proud on a hilltop close to Volterra since the 12th century. A turreted palazzo soaring high over the surrounding woodland is the architectural heart of the estate, but the stone and brick homes of the borgo, sprinkled with heraldic crests, shields and engravings, are equally pretty.Italian property and Italian real estate for sale in Italy, where to buy your Tuscan home,
Once home to Italian aristocrats, bishops and wealthy merchants, the complex is now being sensitively converted into 55 apartments under the guidance of Professor Nicoletta Novelli of the University of Florence.
Professor Novelli is an expert in sensitive restoration and in blending contemporary design with historic architecture. She intends to remain true to Buriano’s spirit and original feel while creating opulent second home with every comfort. So vaulted ceilings and period details will go hand in hand with swimming pools and spas, while windows will frame far-reaching views across lush fields, verdant vineyards and the village of Montecatini Val di Cecina.

Professor Novelli and her team also strive to reduce the development’s environmental impact by introducing eco-friendly conveniences such as solar panels to produce hot water—all this wrapped in the lush embrace of 43 hectares of olive groves and forests that have been left untouched for centuries. Italian luxury villa Tuscany farmhouse Tuscan apartment
“Bringing new life to an architectural jewel such as Buriano is for me an experience of great interest,” says Professor Novelli. “I believe that Buriano really has the potential to become one of the most sought-after and exclusive retreats in Tuscany.” Italian luxury villa Tuscany farmhouse Tuscan apartment
Renovation work has already begun on the Gatehouse, Buriano’s outermost building, which will be turned into eleven to fifteen apartments, depending on buyers’ specifications. The stone houses and old chapel of Borgo will be converted next, while the glamorous palazzo will be developed from October 2009. The project will be completed by late 2010, and owners will be able to join a managed rental scheme. Italian luxury villa Tuscany farmhouse Tuscan apartment
