Let me just say it in one simple word" CRAZY"

For the last 2 weeks I have been putting offers in Windemere, scouring the MLS a hundred times a day to find new homes but to no avail. Buyers are getting frustrated because since the month of April, the market has taken a 360 degree turn. Inventory is at its lowest and demand is high, especially in the price range of 500K to under 900K. New homes communities are getting are closing out and people are making a mad dash for them.
In the resale market in Windemere, a lot of short sales and distressed properties that have pending for months, are now closing.Current inventory is getting offers over asking price.Just in the month of June, the properties closing are at an average of 99% of list price.The Bank owned homes are going into contract for over asking price.
Builders are holding very tight on prices and I can already see prices creeping up.There have been camp outs of people waiting for days outside sales offices, ready to grab the houses that are released ! If you are a seller and have been thinking of selling your home, NOW is the time. There is a heavy demand and very low inventory in the market. Please email Rama for a private consultation.

Dealing with buyers and sellers of diversity, it becomes a great learning ground for me on the orientation of the house. If a South Asian buyer does not want a South Facing home, then the Oriental buyer looks for the same ! Builders had no clue when they started construction, but very soon our buyers made them smart n these aspects and now the desirable lots have a premium ! So I thought, let me put together some interesting facts that I found.
5 Feng Shui Concepts to Help a Home Sell
To put the best face on a listing and appeal to buyers who follow feng shui principles, keep these tips in mind.
1. Pay special attention to the front door, which is considered the "mouth of chi" (chi is the "life force" of all things) and one of the most powerful aspects of the entire property. Abundance, blessings, opportunities, and good fortune enter through the front door. It's also the first impression buyers have of how well the sellers have taken care of the rest of the property. Make sure the area around the front door is swept clean, free of cobwebs and clutter. Make sure all lighting is straight and properly hung. Better yet, light the path leading up to the front door to create an inviting atmosphere.
2. Chi energy can be flushed away wherever there are drains in the home. To keep the good forces of a home in, always keep the toilet seats down and close the doors to bathrooms.
3. The master bed should be in a place of honor, power, and protection, which is farthest from and facing toward the entryway of the room. It's even better if you can place the bed diagonally in the farthest corner. Paint the room in colors that promote serenity, relaxation, and romance, such as soft tones of green, blue, and lavender.
4. The dining room symbolizes the energy and power of family togetherness. Make sure the table is clear and uncluttered during showings. Use an attractive tablecloth to enhance the look of the table while also softening sharp corners.
5. The windows are considered to be the eyes of the home. Getting the windows professionally cleaned will make the home sparkle and ensure that the view will be optimally displayed.

VASTU TIPS FOR REAL ESTATE PURCHASE
According to vaastu consultants, before you buy a plot /building check:
Yellow colour soil is good for business class.
Rocky, non cultivable land is not good.
Plots/buildings sold by rich people for reasons other then misfortune & poverty is good. Sale by distressed, unfortunate people should be avoided.
Rectangular plot with long north to south is better then long east to west.
Wider front gate & narrow end is not good. Narrow front with wide back is good.
A small sized plot between two bigger plots is not good.
Reject any site with well towards North or East.
If your plot is not rectangular see that at least South East and South West Corners have a 90 degrees angle.
Except in North East, if your land is elongated towards any other side it is not good.
Never buy a plot which is cut on the North East corner.
If North East corner of the plot is extended it is very good.
The plots should not be in the neighbourhood of any religious place, public places, like marriage halls, hospitals, courts, factories and burial or cremation grounds.
The South or West of the plot must be higher than North and East. If it is not, you should be able to make it so by filling and putting more earth on the same. If it is not possible you should not buy the plot.
If you are making an underground tank for water storage in your house, locate it in the North Eastern corner of your house. Muncipal water supply should also start from North East direction of the house.
Sourthern side road is not considered to be very good.
Northern side road is good.
A road on the Western side is reasonable.
Roads surrounding plots :-
A square plot surrounded by roads on all four sides is excellent. Buy it even at a higher cost.
If a road ends in your house from the North Eastern corner it is considered very good.
Roads on South is not good (can be good in some cases).
Road on North or east is good. Roads in East and North is good.
Road on West is ok, Roads in north and west is ok.
Land surrounded by roads on 3 sides.
Roads on East, West & North - not good, also roads on North, West & South is not good.
A road ending in the house is very bad. Never buy a plot in which road comes like a dagger provided it is not coming from North East directorion.
There should not be anything blocking your main gate (like electric and telephone pole or a tree or some other pillar), it is very bad.
A stream of filthy water in front of your house, factory or office is a clear loss of wealth. Even stationary dirty water is bad.
Do not use any material from an old building in a new building.
Circular, oval, triangular plots are not good.
Gate of the plot on the North, North East or the East is very good.
Did your jaw just drop open? Sure ladies and gentleman, I deal with this EVERYDAY !! SO I wanted you to have fun !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I love blogging but only when I have a point to make or with something substantial and I am excited today.
If your mortgage holder is Wachovia or their affiliates and you are in a hardship sitation, you have a solution now and do not ignore it.
Just got out of a meeting with Wachovia an hour ago and they amazed me at their willingness to negotiate a Short Sale.If you need to short sell your home, please do not wait another minute.If you have been served a Notice of Default or are very close to foreclosure, you can still be helped.
If you fall under the category of a Hardship, I am confident( and have been given the assurance by Wachovia) I can:
I am convinced that Wachovia is 100% on board with trying to help their customers and I want to help too. There were some other very exciting things that I learnt today and will be sharing them with all the readers soon.But if you or a friend you know who is in a hardship/ have a loan with Wachovia and want to short sell, do not wait. Pass on the message and we will leave no stone unturned to get it done!!
