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

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.

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

Some Useful Information on Golf
February 23, 2010 by kenduncan
Filed under News / Comments
Compliments of Ken Duncan Realtor and The R and A
Golf Etiquette Rule One of the Rules of Golf is all about etiquette, but what is it?
Etiquette is the basic rights that apply to you and your fellow golfers, whether playing or watching. You can find out more with the R&A’s video guide to etiquette by clicking here
Playing Golf – Before You Start
1. Be ready to play your shot when it is your turn. Have your club, ball, gloves and tee ready to go – it will speed the game up.
2. Turn mobile phones off – most golf courses do not allow them on the course or in the clubhouse anyway.
3. Stand still and stay quiet when others are playing and make sure your shadow is not across their line of vision.
4. Wait until the group in front is out of range before playing.
5. Stand facing the person playing, but behind the line of the ball – you are not in the way and it is the safest place to be.
6. Check the local rules on the back of the scorecard or winter rules with the club pro before teeing-off. They may be useful later on.
7. Keep golf trolleys and buggys off tees and greens. Golf buggies cause serious damage to the golf course, keep your buggies on the designated path when possible, and keep buggies a minimum of 30 yards from the green at all times, no exceptions.
8. In strokeplay competitions, the teeing off order on each hole is determined by the best score on the previous hole. The person with best score has the ‘honour’ and goes first followed by the 2nd best score and so on. In matchplay, the person or pair who win a hole have the honour on the next tee
Playing Golf – On The Course
1. After the tee shots, the player furthest from the hole plays first
.2. Put your divots back, repair pitch marks on the green and rake bunkers after you have extracted yourself from them.
3. On the green, avoid standing on another player’s line of putt.
4. When approaching a green, see where the next tee is and leave your clubs on that side of the green while you putt.
5. In matchplay, conceding putts usually happens when the ball is ‘within the leather’. That means the distance between the hole and the ball is less that the distance between the putter head and the bottom of the grip. Mind you, if it is a crucial putt then it is OK to see if they can handle the pressure!
6. Mark your score card on the next tee whilst it is not your turn to play, not on the green. The score won’t change (unfortunately!).
7. If you think you have lost your golf ball, play a second ‘provisional’ ball from the same spot to save you walking back if you do lose the first one. It doesn’t cost anything.
8. If you hit a ball into the rough, pick a spot on line with that point where you last saw the ball and walk directly to it. Hopefully you will find it more easily and it will also speed up your game.
9. If you accidentally hit your ball in the direction of another person, warn them by shouting ‘Fore!’ Hold your arm up as another warning, particularly if you are shouting against the wind or lack the vocal capacity of a foghorn. Never hit a ball in the direction of other golfers if there is a chance of hitting them. A golf ball can cause serious injury.
Fellow Golfers
Golf is all about companionship and getting on with the people you are playing with. Follow these etiquette steps and you’ll always have someone to tee it up with.
1. You hit a shocker, it happens – keep the toys in the pram. Do not swear, test the flight capabilities of your club or appeal loudly to mystical bodies. Your partners are trying to enjoy their day, even if you aren’t. Losing your cool means losing the game.
2. Do not scream and do a lap of honour if you play a career shot – others may be concentrating on doing the same near by.
3. If your group falls more than one hole behind the group in front and there is another group behind, you must let them play through. Two-ball groups have priority on the course over all others. If you are holding them up then let them through – someone will return the favour to you one day.
4. If you are looking for a lost ball you have 5 minutes to find it. If there is a group behind, wave them through while you are looking rather than hold them up.
5. Let faster players through. The golf course has 18 holes, 1 slow group can cause a lot of problems.
6. If you are being held up, do not hit your ball into the group in front to speed them up, even if they deserve it. Lawyers are doing well enough these days without defending your next personal liability case.
7. If playing in a fourball better ball game it is usual to change the order of teeing off between you and your partner at the 10th tee.
8. When playing foursomes, the non-playing partner should walk ahead in anticipation of the playing partner’s shot. It is meant to be a quick game so get moving!
9. After your round, shake hands with your partners, “Well played, Better luck next time, etc..”, and take off your hat as you do so. It’s what golf is all about.
Watching Golf
Watching the pro’s at tournaments is great fun, but remember their round is just as important as yours when you play so observe the following etiquette for watching golf and be amazed at what they can do.
1. Do not take any device with a camera to tournaments during the actual days of competition. If your trigger finger cannot survive a day without a lens, some tournaments have cameras at the practice ground for you to take pictures of the players. Alternatively take your camera along on a practice day as they are usually tolerated then.
2. Turn your mobile phone off – you are out watching golf and nothing should interrupt something as enjoyable as that!
3. Do not make any noise when players are setting up to play or making a stroke.
4. Appreciate good play not bad play. If they yip it from two feet then sympathise rather than celebrate.
5. Think of the people watching behind you. Kneel down if you are at the front and keep an umbrella low if you are using one.

Whether the Port St Lucie or Martin County real estate that is for sale is a primary residence or one that has been used as an actual investment to generate positive cash flow, there are some steps that will need to be taken before the house is ready for the local Port St Lucie real estate market.
Selling a home in the Martin County or Port St Lucie area for the first time can be just as troubling and just as difficult as purchasing a new home.
While the experienced real estate investor may or may not have a regular realtor and enough experience to make the process easier to live with, it is never actually easy. For anybody who does not buy and sell real estate in the Treasure Coast on a regular basis, care should be taken not to fall into any common traps.
We can help you price your Port St Lucie or Martin County home by supplying you with an up to date market analysis of properties in your area that are on the market or that have just sold. While the real estate can be prepared to whatever extent the current homeowner wishes, better prepping will often lead to faster home sales for more money
