The normally quiet skies of Stuart will be noisy this weekend with supersonic fighters, World War II vintage planes flying in formation, aerial acrobatic displays and much more. The 19th annual Visiting Nurse Association, Veteran’s Day Weekend Air Show is this weekend at Stuart’s Witham Field.
This year the show is dedicated to Roberto Hernandez and Johnathan O’Neill, soldiers of the U.S. Army who were killed while serving our country in Afghanistan. There will be ‘Missing Man’ formation flown by the Shell Aerobatic team and this will be especially meaningful to one Martin County resident who was stationed in Afghanistan with the 549th MP Company, the same company as Hernandez and O’Neill. Charles Moon, U.S. Army Specialist 4th Class and son of Martin County Airport Director Mike Moon, was deployed overseas with the Company in April of 2008.
To view the schedule and information for this year’s event, please visit the VNA air show site here: http://vnaairshow.com/index.asp.
If you happen to be in or around Martin County this weekend, please stop by. I know you won’t regret it.

Absorption rates crept a little in October which is a normal seasonal fluctuation for Martin County. This will most likely continue through the early winter and then decrease further through our main season from March through August. If current trends continue we will be back to a balanced market by the summer and the average sales prices will start to increase. Current price trends have stabilized and we have seen modest increases in some segments of our market.
The Definition of Absorption Rate:
Number of weeks it takes to sell the current inventory at the present rate of sales. Knowing your area's Absorption Rate, helps to track trends. Understanding the market and where it is headed is part of our job as real estate professionals. Absorption rate is NOT an exact science. Figuring it is based on the premise that one will be looking for a TREND. It is advised to consistently do the numbers each month, to be able to track a trend.
For the first time in many years, even before the real estate 'bubble', Condo sales have increased in October. This is typically in the middle of our slow season. It seems that buyer confidence is up as the prices have dropped to a level that is just too good to pass up. Our inventory continues to drop and the quality units that are priced well are going fairly fast. If this trend continues, expect to see limited inventory (normal for Martin County) as well as rising prices.

On the beautiful and unspoiled portion of SouthHutchinsonIsland lies one of the best kept secrets in MartinCounty. Located on a pristine 37 acres that reaches from the Atlantic Ocean to the Indian River (Intracoastal Waterway).
Sandpebble Condos consist of 3 OceanFrontBuildings and 7 River Front buildings. A total of 5 heated pools (3 river side and 2 ocean side), along with deep water docks for 66 vessels. Docks are available to residents only on a first come first served basis and are available for lease at a very reasonable $1.50 per foot per month.
On the spacious grounds there is plenty of green space for outdoor activities, two hard court tennis courts and a fully equipped club house with kitchen and on-site management. Both Oceanside and riverside sections are gated for secured entry only. Residents have the use of both the river and Oceanside sections regardless of the location of their own units.
Construction of the Sandpebble complex began in 1982 and just recently all buildings were completely refurbished with metal roofs, Hardi-Plank replacement for exterior wood surfaces, complete concrete (re-bar) restoration, the installation of a bulkhead protecting and enhancing the river-side property and structures, updated landscaping and the painting of all the buildings.

Electric lighting accounts for 19 percent of the world's electricity use, producing almost as much greenhouse gas as half the cars on the planet. New light bulbs can help.
* CFLs: Compact fluorescent lamps use a third as much energy as incandescents. New styles contain much less mercury and have a pleasing light.
* New incandescents: Philips new Halogena line uses 30 percent less energy than traditional incandescents, enough to meet government standards that take effect in 2012.
* LEDs: The leading companies are fighting to release traditional-bulb-shaped LEDs (light emitting diodes) that last five to 10 times as long as CFLs, contain no mercury and use much less energy. They use 6 watts to match the output of a 60-watt incandescent.
Lemnis Lighting's Pharox bulb costs $50 online right now, but the price will come down in the future.

Whether you are looking to buy or sell Homes, Land or Condos in Stuart FL, Sewalls Point, Jensen Beach, Palm City, Hobe Sound, Hutchinson Island or Port Saint Lucie, Florida - My partner, Susan Maxwell and I, Gabe Sanders are the right choice!!
Gabe and Susan were the most professional and efficient agents I've ever had - AND I've had about 10 agents in the past 10 years. We had 4 agents try to sell our home for 2 years and Gabe and Susan sold it in two months. Darlene and Frank L. Jim and I began to search for our home in 2005. Our first agent was new to the business and was unable to handle our aggressive style. After a bad experience with her and her broker we decide to work with Susan and Gabe. Jim and I were hesitant at first because we were social acquaintances with Susan and we are difficult buyers with a long list of criteria. We are currently renovating our home. When we are done we will be looking for an investment property. We will be calling Susan since we now consider her 'Our Agent'. James & Lola C.

Susan was extremely persistent in our search for the ideal home. We viewed at least 10 homes on the market. She helped us narrow down exactly what we wanted. Susan was able to point out the hidden potential in our home and even gave us some Feng Shui tips. She helped us make the right decision for our family and a safe economic decision for the long term.

"I would like to commend you on your employee, Gabe Sanders. He has renewed my faith in real estate sales people.
If Gabe gives half the service to future customers that he gave to us, he will certainly compound the reputation of Premier Realty. A more honest, conscientious and diligent sales person I have never met. I am sure he will be one of your top performers in no time. I have already recommended him to friends and relatives.
We look forward to being part of the Martin County family Regards"
