Gulf Coast Housing Market

IMG_0024The new year brought about new predictions regarding the US Housing Market. Among those were rising home prices, decreasing inventory due to stalled construction and growing ease between lenders and loans.

Now that we are a quarter of the way through with 2014, it is time to reflect and potentially regroup on the status of the market.

Clear Capital®, the premium providers of data and solutions for real estate asset valuation and collateral risk, recently released its market report with data through March 2014. As a whole the data indicates that housing prices remained steady and the keys for continued stability will lie within the transition from investor to traditional home buyer demand.

What does this mean for real estate in Alabama and Florida? Well, keeping in line with the national averages, the area market suggests higher median prices that are becoming steadier. However, something to be noted is that the struggle for inventory, be it for investment purposes or traditional home buying, is more stable than the national average with a solid number of new listings, according to the latest housing data released by Florida Realtors®.

All About Your Homeowner’s Insurance

floodWhen we hear the word “insurance” we are left dwelling on the potentially negative thoughts of what COULD happen, and while not as exciting as living in your Northwest Florida home, it is important to safeguard it.

Luckily, here on the Gulf Coast, we do not typically have to deal with freezing rain and ice storms, however, we do have a significant storm season that should come into play when it comes to protecting your home. If disaster strikes, the last thing you should have to worry about is money. Your focus should be on reclaiming home security and mental stability.

That being said, there are some things you should know about your homeowner’s insurance. First of all you should know what it covers, and for that matter what it does not. In the event of certain storms, fire and vandalism, a typical policy will pay for damages. What is not covered depends on the area and the agency supplying your insurance. A general policy seems to exclude earth movements (landslides and earthquakes), faulty zoning and flooding.

Given our location’s attraction to hurricanes and flooding seeking supplemental insurance is the best way to ensure your homes safety in the event of a disaster.

While it may seem pessimistic to harp on, it is important to protect yourself and your investment from some of life’s biggest surprises.
