The Real Estate housing market is poised for a big rebound in Brevard County Florida as is easily
evident by Search the Brevard County Florida MLS. Realtors can see exactly how real estate deals are
progressing in Melbourne, Palm Bay, Viera and other cities in Brevard County. Many Condos however
are still slow moving as they where some of Best Real Estate Values that became the worst.
• Foreclosures: The number of foreclosure filings in Palm Bay Florida
is being offset by the constant stream or Real Estate investors getting back in to the market at the
bottom. However recently interest rates have climbs a bit which may slow Real Estate sales slightly
if they continue to rise.
• Rising Real Estate mortgage rates will hopefully soon be over come by FED
programs for Real Estate in Brevard County and city around the USA. The average rate for a
30-year mortgage spiked from 5.29 percent last week to 5.59 percent this week, Freddie Mac said
Thursday. Yun acknowledged that rates above 6 percent would slow the recovery, but he predicted
rates will fall to 5.2 percent later this year. “
• High Real Estate Inventories: The number of Brevard County homes for
sale has fallen over the past year, but there remains a lot of homes on the market. Inventory “is
still much higher than it should be,” but it is moving along rather nicely.
• With first times buyer credits of $8000 the majority of the market right now is first time
buyers and investors. A first Time Home buyer in Brevard County can actually get county or state
money up to $10,000 and I believe still collect the Federal First Time Home Buyer $8,000 tax Credit.
• A sluggish high-end market: Although properties priced at under $200,000 are moving
quickly, the high-end market is “stagnant,” in part because of high rates for jumbo loans, said Rei
Mesa of Prudential Florida Realty.

Palm Bay Florida MLS Listings
When you know someone is coming by to tour your
MLS Listing, turn on all the indoor and outdoor lights – even during the day. At night, a lit
house gives a "homey" impression when viewed from the street. During the daytime, turning on the
lights prevents harsh shadows from sunlight and it brightens up any dim areas. Your
MLS Listing looks more homey and cheerful with the lights on.
Fragrances
Do not use scented sprays to prepare for visitors. It is too obvious and many people find the smells
of those sprays offensive, not to mention that some may be allergic. If you want to have a pleasant
aroma in your
MLS Listing, have a potpourri pot or something natural. Or turn on a stove burner for a moment
and put a drop of vanilla extract on it. It will smell like you have been cooking.
Pet Control
If you have pets, make sure your
MLS Listing agent puts a notice with your listing in the multiple listing service. The
last thing you want is to have your pet running out the front door and getting lost. If you know
someone is coming to your
MLS Listing, it would be best to try to take the pets with you while the homebuyers tour your
home. If you cannot do that, It is best to keep dogs in a penned area in the back yard. Try to keep
indoor cats in a specific room when you expect visitors, and put a sign on the door. Most of the
time, an indoor cat will hide when buyers come to view your property, but they may panic and try to
escape.
The Kitchen Trash
Especially if your kitchen trash can does not have a lid, make sure you empty it every time someone
comes to look at your home – even if your trash can is kept under the kitchen sink. Remember that
you want to send a positive image about every aspect of your
MLS Listing. Kitchen trash does not send a positive message. You may go through more plastic
bags than usual, but it will be worth it.
Keeping the House Tidy and Neat
Not everyone makes his or her bed every day, but when selling a home it is recommended that you
develop the habit. Pick up papers, do not leave empty glasses in the family room, keep everything
freshly dusted and vacuumed. Try your best to have it look like a model home – a
MLS Listing with furniture but nobody really lives there.

Luxury Homes
AFFLUENT BABY BOOMERS ARE NOT READY TO STAY IN THEIR
CURRENT HOMES FOREVER, ACCORDING TO A COLDWELL BANKER® STUDY
|
Survey of Coldwell Banker®Sales Associates
Indicates that Affluent Baby Boomer Customers Remain Upwardly
Mobile, Plan Future Home Purchases
PARSIPPANY, N.J. (April 27, 2005) -
Today's affluent Baby Boomers are not slowing down, and the
majority remains "on the move." The Coldwell Banker®
Baby Boomer Real Estate Survey, an online random sampling of
363 certified Coldwell Banker Previews International®
sales associates who market luxury homes, found that affluent
baby boomer homeowners (ages 40-58) remain an upwardly mobile
group.
In fact, more than half of the Baby Boomers (52 percent) who
purchased a luxury home through Coldwell Banker within
the last two years told their sales associate they plan to
spend fewer than five years in their current home. Eighty-six
percent of these homebuyers said they have purchased three or
more homes throughout their lifetimes. Almost half said they
have lived at their most recent residence for a period of only
one to five years.
It seems that size also matters to this group. The Coldwell
Banker Previews International sales associates indicated
that 65 percent of their Baby Boomer clients made their most
recent home purchases because they wanted bigger residences. A
mere 17 percent were looking to scale down, while another 15
percent were buying a second or vacation home.
The typical size of a recent luxury home purchased, according
to the surveyed Coldwell Banker Previews International
sales associates, was 4,500 square feet or less with four
bedrooms, three bathrooms and a backyard. The overwhelming
majority (88 percent) of these luxury homes cost approximately
$1 million, while only 12 percent of the sales associates
reported recent sales of homes costing more than $2 million.
The survey also indicated that 60 percent of these buyers
purchased existing single-family homes, while 21 percent opted
for new construction and 16 percent purchased
condos/townhouses.
"Our survey clearly shows that wealthy Baby Boomers want to
enjoy the rewards of their hard work," said Jim Gillespie,
president and chief executive officer of Coldwell Banker
Real Estate Corporation. "They want bigger and more
luxurious homes and want to remain active. They are in their
peak earning years, have benefited from many years of strong
stock market returns and have built tremendous equity and
appreciation in their homes. These factors, along with many
receiving inheritances from their parents, are allowing the
luxury home market to thrive and it should be robust for years
to come."
Know Exactly What They Want
The Coldwell Banker® survey shows Baby Boomers are very
particular about what they look for in a luxury home, the
types of improvements they want to make to the home and the
areas in which they choose to live.

associates reported that boomers were most interested in the
following home amenities:

Gillespie also pointed out that Baby Boomers are indeed the
driving force in the luxury home market. Nearly 60 percent of
the surveyed Coldwell Banker® sales associates reported
that those between 40 and 58 years old accounted for a large
majority of their luxury home sales over the last two years.
The study was commissioned by Coldwell Banker Previews
International, a leader in luxury home sales, and
conducted by Zoomerang Research in January 2005. Coldwell
Banker defines a luxury home as having a listing price of
at least $500,000, priced within the top 10 percent of its
market and of exceptional style and quality.
