Another weekend is here and I am in my football mode. Flipping (no pun intended) through the channels to warm up my remote control I noticed real estate related infomercial.

Hey, it is the weekend. A lot of folks that work hard all week are home and seeing how easy it is to get rich in real estate. Get rich quick in real estate- sign me up!

I did a search on this system...tax certificate sales. Some folks are not happy with this program. Some are according to the infomercial's web site If this is the way to get rich why am I working with buyers and sellers in Viera and Rockledge, Florida??? Who is the dummy?

Oh well, the ball games are coming on... Which ones to watch today? Michigan vs Wisconsin, Alabama vs Georgia, Free Shoes U [FSU] vs Colorado. Heck, there are almost as many choices in games as there are houses for sale in any Viera neighborhood![Some of these sellers are more competitive than any football game on TV today!]

Lets see...which option will be more productive and fun? FOOTBALL WINS - guess I will be poor for another day!!!!

I listed a town house for sale yesterday. The price is very, very attractive. The price is less than the competing (albeit newer) properties nearby. Actually my property is listed only $7 thousand dollars more than the 1 bedroom with 530 less square feet down the street! Still, the price is very attractive. The price is necessary.

In the Viera and Rockledge market within 2 miles of my new listing there are 65 properties for sale that are either short sales or REO/ bank owned properties. That is a lot of competition.

In order to compete, although my listing is not a short sale, the price had to be awfully attractive.

If you are selling your home, town house or condo in the Rockledge and Viera area, prepare yourself to compete with short sales and REO - bank owned listings. That is just the reality of the market!

Until the inventory of short sale and REO homes is reduced in the Rockledge and Viera market this will be the case.

I noticed a bicycle in the neighbor's yard this afternoon. Not sure which neighborhood kid is the owner but it brought to mind my very first bike. Actually it was my brother's bike as well.

I must have been about 10 years old and my father paid my uncle five bucks for my cousin's used bike. I wanted a new bike. Back then the kids were riding these bikes with bananna seats. Mine was like a cruiser - traditional, a little bit of rust, red and not made for speed!

Sometimes in the real estate market a buyer has to "get a five dollar bike." Sure, that newer and more modern, in style home is on the "want" list but not in the budget! Perhaps something smaller will do. Perhaps something a little bit "used" will do. At some point in time you can move up to that new, sleek bicycle.

As for me.... I used that bike for years. It served its purpose. If you are a first time buyer, perhaps you should look at a resale that is functional and in your budget. Thinking back on my $5 bike I remember something my brother told me - "a rusty ride beats a well dressed walk!"

If you are looking for a home in the Rockledge, Viera or Suntree area of Brevard County, Florida, I would be honored if you gave me a chance to discuss how I may assist you.
