Flood of TV Home Improvement Ads is a Signal

The Home-Remodeling market is improving. The Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University identified three areas of home improvement growth.: remodeling rentals, remodeling to reduce energy costs and improve the environment (“going green” ) and foreign homeowners as the most active remodelers.

This Harvard Housing Study caught my attention. Continued growth in home improvement spending by foreign-born homeowners — their spending levels have grown almost 13% per year since 2000- is well in excess of the 7% growth by native-born households.

If you live abroad and want to buy property in Palm Coast, you should work with a realtor who will also act as your personal property manager and take care of fixing up the place after you buy it.  Most bargain priced property will need repairs and upgrading; especially foreclosures, short sales and bank owned properties.  You need someone knowledgeable and trustworthy to help get the best prices and insure the quality of the work. Someone who knows our local handymen and subcontractors and can get your upgrades and repairs done well. The Home Inspection Report is your Blueprint; your real estate agent can be your Home Improvements Manager…Talk To Ted!.

IT SEEMS NOW-OR CLOSE TO NOW-IS THE BEST TIME TO BUY IN PALM COAST’S DEPRESSED HOUSING MARKET. Our inventory levels indicate we may have hit bottom. Canadians, Russians, Germans and South Americans are especially active in our market at this time. Send me a referral so I can start a dialog with them about their dream home in Florida, USA.

If you have a friend or relative living abroad who should be taking advantage of our bargain prices and weak dollar-Talk To Ted!   I can document I am honest and trustworthy and I will find your overseas friend or relative the right investment and follow through to make improvements after the sale. I work with my language translation assistants to be sure we communicate accurately and completely.

Are your friends and relatives planning to visit Palm Coast now? Want a free consultation about how to buy their lot or their vacation/investment home? The time is right!  Talk To Ted!
