If you think real estate can't be sexy, think again. I would like take this opportunity to congratulate Woody Wolden, owner of Top 10 Properties, on ranking in 2nd place as Pensacola's sexiest man. You can read about it at the Pensacola News Journal . I hope they keep this the link alive, but it not, sorry. Blame the PNJ.
Now I'm not one to determine if Woody is really that sexy, but apparently many of his female agents think he is. I only know Woody through meeting him at local real estate investors meetings. From what I've learned of him, Woody is a man of excellent character who is always looking to help the other guy, serve his community and further the success of those who work with him.
Woody and his buddy Jim Greeley (who is not quite as sexy as Woody) formed a Pensacola real estate investors club several years ago. Since its formation, Jim and Woody have worked to help new and experienced investors in Pensacola by providing superb educational and networking opportunities. If you are interested in investing in real estate in Pensacola, I highly recommend that you attend a Real Estate Navigators meeting. Details are on their web site at http://www.renavigators.com.
Pensacola isn't the only place where sex and real estate are making the news. A real estate agent in Orlando recently created a video full of scantily clad female models, and asked "can sex sell real estate?". Apparently his broker was not too pleased, and he was given the option to remove the video, or go work somewhere else. From the reports I've read, he chose to go work elsewhere and leave the video online. You can read more about this story and see the video at the Future Of Real Estate Marketing.

This article provides an overview of the Pensacola real estate market report on the Mayfair subdivision.
Mayfair is called by several different names depending on where you look, including Mayfair, Oakcrest, and Carriage Hills. This report includes the area delineated on the map, since it is not clearly defined as to where one area starts and another ends.
Mayfair is located west Pensacola. It is accessible from the major highways Fairfield Drive and Mobile Highway. It is convenient to the Pensacola Naval Air Station, Saufley Field Naval Base, and downtown Pensacola. Most other popular Pensacola locations can be reached in a relatively short amount of time from Mayfair.
Mayfair is full of very affordable homes. Many homes are the older cinder block style homes built in the 1950s and 1960s. Mayfair has beautifully remodeled homes, homes in poor condition just waiting for a handyman homeowner or investor to come in and add some value, and homes that would be great for the first time home buyer, just as they are.
A full market report on Mayfair is up on my blog at Pensacola Real Estate News - Mayfair Subdivision. I hope you find this information useful, especially if you are looking to buy a home in Pensacola, and Mayfair is in your price range.
Weekly Update For Residential Listings
In Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties
The table shows that the number of homes on the market in Pensacola Florida is starting to increase a little, reversing what was a downward trend toward the end of 2007. I checked again today and the number is even higher, currently at 6385 listings active. The homes sold the past week also remains very low, but is up a little from the previous week.
Notice that I have added a new column for Expired and Withdrawn listings. You can see that the end of 2007 and beginning of the new year are times when many sellers will allow their listing agreements with real estate agents to expire or the sellers take their homes off the market. Most of these are overpriced homes, so it is good for the market overall when they are taken off the market.
- The table shows the weekly market data for Pensacola residential property.
- These numbers include only residential homes and condominiums in Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties that are listed in the Pensacola MLS.
- They do not include vacant land or lots, mobile homes or manufactured homes or Pensacola FSBOs.
- The numbers above are created using data from the Pensacola MLS and are deemed reliable but not guaranteed

The data show a typical start to a new year in Pensacola. Many new listings came on the market, because sellers often wait to list their homes until after the holiday season.
The "Homes Sold" figure is the bad news for the Pensacola market. When I looked early in the week, the number of homes sold was very low, but I expected that it would rise considerably as more agents added their sold listings to the MLS.

The table shows the numbers for the previous week in Pensacola real estate. Note that the total active listings have dropped again. I expect that they will be up a little bit in next week's report because many people choose to list their homes with the start of the new year.

Thank you for dropping by and checking out my profile and wanting to know a little bit more about me. My name is Karl Burger and I am affiliated with a local Pensacola real estate agency named ERA Beach Ball Realty. I also provide a local real estate blog at Pensacola Real Estate News to keep the Pensacola community informed of what is going on in the Pensacola real estate market. I hope you find the information I provide helpful and interesting.
If you want to contact me, you can go to my Contact Page and send me an email, or call me at 850-512-2587.
I have a passion for helping people and thus real estate suits my personality very well. I love what I do, helping people buy and sell real estate in the Pensacola Florida area. I know that buying or selling a home can be a stressful experience. Thus my goal with each and every client is to make their real estate experience as simple and pleasurable as possible. I do this by handling all of the details that go into a real estate transaction, and frequently communicating with each client to ensure they are fully informed about every step of the process.
I have lived in Pensacola all of my life. I know the area, the people, and the Pensacola real estate market very well.
I attended Pensacola Junior College and the University of West Florida, where I obtained a BA in Accounting and Information Systems. After graduation I spent many years building and supporting computer networks and the users who rely on them to get their jobs done. This background has given me extensive experience in both technology, and customer service. And that is how I approach my real estate business, by providing old fashioned customer service combined with integration of current technology.
Outside of my real estate career, my interests are centered around my family. I am a devoted husband and father, and I believe we make our world a better place by raising our children with strong moral values, and by getting involved and serving the local community.
I am an avid animal lover of all kinds of animals. When I see a note in the Pensacola MLS that a home has a friendly pet, I often want to see the home just to meet the pet.
One of my favorite places in Pensacola is Bayview Park in East Hill. This park has something for everyone, from walking paths to tennis courts to dog parks to children's play areas, not to mention a spectacular view of the bayou.
I also have a passion for surfing. There seems to be a common misconception that there is no surf in Pensacola. However, nothing could be further from the truth. That's me in the picture on a really good Pensacola wave.
I love Pensacola and believe strongly in giving back to the community. If you are involved in any community service projects in the Pensacola area, please contact me and give me some details. I will be happy to write an article promoting anything that makes our beautiful city a better place for everyone.
