Desperate Homeowners Get Creative To Cash In
JACKSONVILLE, FL -- It's a buyer's market and sellers are offering creative incentives to reel potential homeowners in.
Take a ride through almost any neighborhood in Jacksonville and you'll see "For Sale" signs on plenty of streets.
"Sellers are now becoming a little more creative, so they're trying to lure buyers in," said local realtor Anita Vining.
One home in Neptune Beach is going for $2.8 million. The seller is throwing in a $200,000 boat if the asking price is paid. Another house in San Marco valued at $300,000 is offering a brand new Hyundai to whoever pays their asking price.
Incentives are the name of the buying game and one of the most interesting out there right now is "Molly" the dog, going for $2.9 million. The owner's four bedroom, four bath house on the river comes with "Molly."
"You'll see some sellers paying closing costs.
Second-half goals sink Saints
Two opportunistic goals in the second half from Hibs' international striker Andrew Cohen landed the Paolites an expected win that lifted them into third place on 18 points at the end of the first round. With some four weeks of inactivity, coach Robert Gatt had ample time to re-think his strategies and tactics as he seeks to put his side back in the championship hunt following two consecutive defeats that had derailed the side's positive march. Knocked out from the first round of the FA Trophy and flirting with relegation, St George's only hope for a positive result yesterday at Corradino rested on the tenacity of Suleiman Hammad, until he was on the pitch, and the steady Renato Conceicao in the centre of defence. The Saints were missing Edoardo Do Nascimento who skipped the match through suspension.

RISMEDIA, October 26, 2006�(MCT)�The Florida state attorney general opened a criminal investigation Monday into inflated real estate transactions in Pinellas and Hillsborough counties, it was reported yesterday in the Tampa Tribune.

Attorney General Charlie Crist said the economic crime division, based in Tampa, will look into 36 sales by Tampa real estate agent Dawn L. Molen.
The Tribune story showed that Molen's sales had recorded sales prices of an average of $60,000 above the original list price.
The unaccounted money -- at least $2 million collectively -- was paid to companies associated with Molen.
