Florida Keys Real Estate
Florida Real Estate – The Sunshine State
Florida real estate is definitely worth a look if sun and fun is your ticket. Florida real estate, even close to the beach, is a very good deal. Florida Florida is a well-known haven for people living through winter storms in the northeast. Sun and warm water are an obviously attraction, but there is much more to Florida. Orlando seems to be one giant theme park with Disney World, while Miami offers entertainment of a distinct adult variety with a legendary nightlife. Throw in the Florida Keys, tons of college and professional sports teams, the Kennedy Space Center and you have a state with a lot to do besides loaf on the beach. Then again, loafing on the beach should never be denigrated! .
Anna Nicole Smith Bombshell: Pretty Much Everything You Suspected ...
TMZ.com has scored a major find in the Anna Nicole Smith three-ring tragedy circus: A sworn declaration by a woman named Laurie Payne, who befriended Smith in 2005 in the Florida Keys when they were introduced through a common acquaintance, Smith's friend-with-benefits G. Ben Thompson, a real estate developer from South Carolina. The declaration contains several bombshell revelations, among them that Larry Birkhead is indeed the father of Dannielynn, and that Payne had witnessed Smith take "a rather high dose" of Xanax, in addition to having herself "personally administered" Anna Nicole pills from a bottle unsubtly marked "Methadone" during the pregnancy. An e-mail allegedly sent from Smith to Payne also came attached to the declaration: In an e-mail Smith sent to Payne, which is attached to Payne's declaration, Anna Nicole seems to say she had sex a total of three times with only two people during the time of conception: "well one of two people once in dec and twice in jan............you do the math but I hear someone cant do what has been done." TMZ has confirmed Thompson told Anna Nicole last May that he couldn't be the father because he had a vasectomy, thus the comment, "someone cant do what has been done." As for Howard K.
'Value-range pricing' another way to find potential buyers
So DeFrisco decided to try a pricing strategy that brokers in some parts of the country swear by: He listed the house at a range of $439,900 to $469,900. Within two weeks, he had a contract for $450,000. The success sold DeFrisco, owner of Exit Realty Premier Properties, on the strategy known as value-range pricing. The concept has been around for years but remains a novelty in most parts of the country. In San Diego, the majority of listings are sold through value-range pricing. Brokers there say the tactic helps homes sell faster and for more money. With the housing market in full-fledged slowdown in Palm Beach County and on the Treasure Coast, the price range is just another way to drum up interest among buyers. However, Tim Allen, a real estate professor at Florida Atlantic University, co-authored a study on value-range pricing that finds the strategy has no effect on how quickly a home sells or for how much.
