West Broward Real Estate Watch

Want to know how the Elections went? Well here you go!!!

It seems there are plenty of people who have been cheating the systems. (What's new?) It looks like people who have moved away and have been renting out there homes. It makes sense with the inventory still so high to at least cover the cost of the mortgage.

Here is the problem. Since they moved away its no longer consider a Primary Residence. So you are to report when you move away and you will be taxed differently. This money is used as our school money and for fire and police for starters. So here we are losing money because they haven't updated there records.

So the property appraisers office is going through all the records and heading out to the homes and looking to see if people are still in there homes or if someone else is there.

The City of Sunrise was able to recover $181,000. It may not seem like alot of money, but when a school can put that money go back into the system that can cover alot!!

So if you have moved and haven't updated your address I suggest you do so now.

The other day I meet with some buyers. We set up to meet in Sunrise to view some HUD homes they were interested in.

I made my showings calls and all was set. We were viewing all the properties I had layed out for them. Things were going well. Once we were done with the list I had the husband asked if he coud drive me by a property they noticed the other day that was not on my list.

My reply, But of course! So we headed out to take a look and it was vacant. Perfect, and I noticed it was on Supra, Even better! Well I open my glovebox in my truck and pull out my Activekey and to my surprise DEAD. Dead as a door nail. I looked for my car charger that is usually in the glovebos as well and of course its not there.

Great now what do I do? I explained that my key is dead and my charger is not in the car. We walk around the outside of the house and peeped through the windows. It turns out the wife didn't like the house anyways because the Kitchen was to small.

Moral of the story? Make sure when you head out with buyers that your key is charged and make sure your back up is in the car. Even if none of the homes you are viewing are on Supra. You never know what you may run into!

How do you feel about Carnivals? Well the famous All Saint's Carivnal is in town. They are located in Sunrise, Fl on the corner of Oakland Park and Hiatus. They hold this carinval every year the weekend of Valentine's. I took my kids the weekend before to the carnival in Margate. They were so excited. I plan on taking them tonight to this one.

You can't go to the carnival without playing the games. I had the kids play some and boy they were thrilled. They each one a prize. Every game that the kids play now always wins a prize. They felt they were special to each win one.

Here is a picture of my kids with their prizes they won. Look how happy they are.

Now you can't go to a Carnival and not have there food. The famous Funnel Cake or also know as Elephant Ears. My kids took one look at it and wondered what it was, once they took a bit they were hooked. What can I say its a tradition.

Hope you make it to the carinval. If you take pictures while there come back and leave them in the comment section would love to see them.

The Wal-Mart on Oakland Park Blvd and Univeristy in Sunrise, Fl is finally set to open its doors again. Since back in 2004 after Wilma blew through South Florida it has been closed. There was major damage to the store and it has taken this long to get back to order.

As of 8am tomorrow the doors will be opening. I have been looking forward to this day for a long time and I am so excited to hear the news. It has been completly updated to stand up to the other walmarts that have opened up in the past to years. This particular Walmart has been at this spot since 1989. Its one of my favorite stores.

I'll be posting some updated pictures once I go through the store.
