We went to Carlin Park in Jupiter Florida today to celebrate our grandson's first birthday.
While we were there, Nestor and I took a walk along the beach taking some great photos when we noticed that there were a lot of surfers in the water.

Then we heard music and more people showing up.
We decided to go and check it out.

That is when we met Mike Bloom the President of the Western Atlantic PRO Surf Series.
Mike gave us an overview of the surf contest event. Mike took time out of his busy day with this event to stop and talk with us about some of the highlights.

There were a lot of surfers and onlookers at this event.
Our son loves to surf so we checked out the Kids Surf camps for next summer!
This will be a great way for him to get some good surfing instruction. I love to watch surfing but you won't see me on a surfboard!
I lived in Hawaii for 5 years and watching surfers surf at North Shore was one of my favorite events.

Kona Brewing Company is one of the main sponsors of this event along with many other companies.

Tomorrow morning, Sunday at 7 a.m. the competition resumes with great surfing talent on display.

From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. there is a FREE Surf Camp for kids hosted and sponsored by the Brandollini Foundation and Blue Water School of Surfing.

Do Not Use Twitter - by Todd Barnard

Do not Tweet during a fire. You'd think that'd be obvious, not just in London, huh? - Learn more about dialing 999.

Internet Booth at Heathrow Airport. The Web 2.0 needs of today. Help yourself!

Everyone does preach on Twitter. To me, that's the beauty of Twitter: people bare their souls on there. You get to know them and build powerful relationships that turn into beautiful personal and business opportunities.

Ft Lauderdale Real Estate Market Conditions - Are Happy Days Here Again?

With all the stimulus dollars floating in the markets, there is some measured good news on the real estate horizon.

Nationally, pending home sales rose again, marking eight consecutive monthly gains - the longest streak since measurement began in 2001, according to the National Association of Realtors® (NAR).

The Pending Home Sales Index, a forward-looking indicator based on contracts signed in September, rose 6.1 percent to 110.1 from a reading of 103.8 in August, and is 21.2 percent higher than September 2008 when it stood at 90.9. The gain from a year ago is the largest annual increase on record, and the index is at the highest level since December 2006 when it was 112.8.

Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, said the momentum is understandable. "What we're witnessing is a rush of first-time buyers trying to beat the expiration of the tax credit at the end of this month," he says. "Home values will stabilize sooner rather than over-correcting. That, in turn, will mean wealth stabilization for the vast number of middle-class families and lay the foundation for a durable economic recovery."

NAR estimates approximately 3 million renters are now financially well-qualified to buy a median-priced home.

Locally in Greater Ft Lauderdale and the surrounding areas, statistics are getting better as well. As of November 1st, there is a 7+ month supply of single family homes on the market and an 11+ supply of multi-family dwellings in the listings. This is the beginning of an equalization in the market place. It is no longer a buyer's market. Anytime inventory supply exceeds 12 months, it's an indication of a buyer's market. We're certainly some distance from a Seller's market where inventory is typically lower than 6 months supply. However, in certain price ranges multiple offers more the norm these days.

Are happy days here again? I think it's still too soon to call. But, I think we're heading in the right direction!

"Thank You - Sneak Peek Saturdays Open House: Homes for Sale - Ted Tyndall"

Thanks to the local rsidents for a "1st" Sneak Peek Saturday in Palencia.

We had the Sneak Peek Saturday from 1pm till 4pm sponsored by Davidson Realty Inc. today and I want to thank everyone that attended or wanted to attend. We feel it was a total success due to the local residents.

Sneak Peak Saturdays Open House: Homes for Sale - Ted Tyndall

We had 4 Models and three specs built by ICI Homes on the tour. There were 3 agents on site with myself as a "floater". I realize number of customers is relative to the area and what you are use to as an average. For us it was a great day. ICI Homes has a phenomenal reputation and I feel this contributed to the turn out.

We had 8 families or couples attend without an agent. We had another five couples with an agent attend. For 13 families in a three hour period it was great for our area.

I especially want to thank Carol vonRabenstein, Judy Kashou, Carly and Bruce Weedle for their help in putting this together and helping work the locations. I want to thank ICI HOmes for their attention to detail in preparing the landscaping and properties for the event.
