The soothsayer in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar issued his famous warning "Beware the Ides of March." Who knew that in 2020, around the middle of March, the world, as we knew it, would force such dramatic changes on us from the Coronavirus.
In America, it has brought our economy to its knees as we sheltered in place for over four months. During this time, changes have affected our lives and many of those changes could be permanent.
Previously, smaller homes were becoming the trend for not only efficiency but upkeep so owners would have more time to do things including travel. Now, travel is minimal and our world, in some respects, is reduced to our home.
For families with children, their home has become a school. With so many people working from home, it has become our office or store or studio. If there is more than one working adult in a home, it needs to have space for each party to work. The home fitness industry is experiencing record sales in exercise equipment so the home can become a gym.
Since we're all spending more time at home, it is also the place to recreate. We're cooking more; a larger kitchen and dining area would be nice. We want to enjoy the yard, garden, pool or balcony and our current home may not even have them or we'd like to upgrade.
People are wanting and needing more space to do all of these things at home. Many experts are anticipating that these changes we thought were temporary may be part of the new normal even after a vaccine and cure have been discovered.
If you have had any of these thoughts and would like to know more about how to buy or sell a home in our current market, we would love to tell you about the many options available while being responsible to stay safe. Whether it is buying for the first time, moving up or moving on, I would like to help.

Homeownership is a privilege and a responsibility. Even after decades of owning a home, you may still need some help to handle some of its challenges by focusing on the three "M"s of homeownership: maintenance, minimizing expenses and managing debt and risk.
While many people recognize the benefits of annual wellness, financial, vehicle and equipment maintenance visits, an important checkup that you may not have considered is an annual homeowner advisory or real estate review. Why would you treat the investment in your home with less care than you treat your car or your HVAC system?
Consider exploring the following:
Do you know the current value of your home? (You can, by obtaining a list of comparable sales in your immediate area, as well as what is currently on the market for sale.)
Have you compared your assessed value for tax purposes to the fair market value in order to possibly reduce your property taxes?
Even if you've refinanced in the last two years, can you save money and recapture the cost of refinancing in the length of time you plan to remain in your home?
Have you considered reducing your mortgage debt with low-earning cash reserves that will not be needed soon?
Do you have a record of the improvements you've made to your home since you purchased it? Do you know what items can be included?
Have you considered investing in rental homes in good neighborhoods to increase your yields and avoid the volatility of the stock market?
When was the last time you updated your home inventory of personal belongings? Do you have pictures as well as written documentation?
Do you need recommendations of repairmen and other service providers?
This service is part of my point of difference as a real estate professional to provide information to help homeowners not only when they buy and sell but all the years in between too. My goal is to create lifelong relationships with our customers as their "go to" person whenever they have a real estate question.
My strategy is to provide reliable, consumer-based information about homeownership on a regular basis through email and social networking. If it benefits you by helping you be a better homeowner, maybe you'll consider us your real estate professional.
When you don't know the answers to real estate questions, you know where to get them.
We're always here to serve your real estate needs. By helping you with the three "M"s of homeownership, we can earn your confidence and trust for the next time you move or a friend of yours needs a recommendation.

<img src="https://ci4.googleusercontent.com/proxy/F_LclHrlUqR7AXS7MZlknugxU477m6lno40n99srD8RKSaBOe-je3f0lGVZQWRLXPch7uW-1EOZ6NofRHJHQW2oBbclnJK7-D9Hl7lEfmGC-xP-olF_G2lyDzpZei_pAqWvW=s0-d-e1-ft#https://betterhomeowners.com/image.ashx/8cd47de3-9fba-4006-8308-18a3f80f6546.jpg" width="100%" height="auto" class="CToWUd a6T" tabindex="0" />
It takes a team of professionals to buy a home like the lender, the appraiser, the inspector, the property insurance agent, the title officer, and others but the real estate professional may play the most critical role.
Baking bread seems so simple. There are only four ingredients: flour, salt, yeast, and water; yet, there are steps that should be followed as well as a certain sequence to get the proper results. Some people mix all of the dry ingredients before adding the hot water to activate the yeast. Other people will activate the yeast in the warm water first to allow it to "bloom."
Both methods can achieve satisfactory results but one knowledgeable person needs to be in charge of the bread instead of having multiple people to be concerned with just their one ingredient or contribution like mixing, kneading, fermentation, benching, shaping, proofing or baking.
Similarly, in a home purchase, the buyer's agent can be the one who puts things in the proper order and sees that no steps are missed. The buyer's agent coordinates between the other professionals with the common goal of getting the home closed on time according to the terms agreed in the sales contract.
Even if a buyer has been through the process before and possibly, multiple times, the buyer's agent will most likely have far more experience because it is their job. They perform their job on a daily basis and are not personally or emotionally involved like a buyer is.
Your agent understands what and when the various steps should be done and by whom. They have worked with enough of the other professionals to know who is good at their job and can offer recommendations. They have seen the things that make a transaction go smoothly and what can derail one.
Experience is a great teacher, but the lesson does not have to be learned by going through it by yourself. Take the luxury of using your real estate professional's experience acquired through years of study and practice. Allow your agent to advise you and coordinate the efforts to achieve the results you are expecting and deserve.

<img src="https://assets.site-static.com/userfiles/329/image/blog_photos/Real_Estate.png" width="1200" height="628" alt="real estate after a hurricane" title="real estate after a hurricane" style="float: left;" />
How Real Estate Prices in Hurricane Prone Areas like Panama City Beach Continue to Rise.
One thing many homeowners will notice after a hurricane or other natural disaster is investors interested in buying damaged homes to rehabilitate or flip will saturate the market. In the case of Panama City Beach, the natural beauty will still continue to attract investors, vacationers, and regular home buyers because of its proximity to water. No matter what the property condition, the area will still offer tourism, commerce, and recreational activities.
Real Estate Investors Flock In
Often flippers and real estate investors are drawn to hurricane areas like bees to honey. These investors are looking for homeowners who do not want to tackle the repairs themselves or sellers who just want to move on.
They do this, because they are very aware that historically, property values increase after a major natural disaster.
These property investors will change the material age of the devastated area. In essence, the homes will have some similarities to a new property. Once repaired, you have a home that has a <a href="https://www.chadmiller.com/blog/need-roof-work/" title="need a new roof? read this first!">new roof</a>, new flooring potentially new appliances and new counter-tops. The structures may be built with <a href="https://www.npr.org/2018/10/17/658156093/after-michael-a-call-for-stricter-building-codes-in-floridas-panhandle" title="Panhandles new building codes after Michael">new building codes</a>, improved safety features, and updated appliances and other cosmetic features.
Home Buyers After a Storm
Hurricanes historically have deterred buyers from demand of <a href="https://www.panamacityhomesonline.com/panama-city-beach-real-estate/beachfront-properties/" title="beachfront homes for sale">beachfront homes for sale</a>. Real estate in areas that are often hit by hurricanes, fires, or other natural disasters still sell when they are in a desirable location. In 2010, 123.3 million people, or <a href="https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/population.html" title="population on the shoreline">39 percent of the nation's population</a> lived in counties directly on the shoreline.
<a href="https://www.panamacityhomesonline.com/buy/" title="buying a home in Panama City Beach FL">Home buyers</a> seem to be willing to accept the hazards of living in certain areas because of the natural beauty and the lifestyle benefits. They have weighed the pros and cons and the risks and rewards, and they still have chosen to buy a home in a particular area or neighborhood.
Selling a Home After a Hurricane
Because of the limited housing after a hurricane, the homes left in good condition will become desirable for families that need to find somewhere to buy. People who are looking to sell a home may find buyers quicker and the buyers will have fewer conditions because of the shrinking real estate market. In some cases, this can lead to a <a href="https://www.panamacityhomesonline.com/blog/what-is-a-bidding-war/" title="What is a bidding war?">bidding war</a> on high and dry homes.
Most homes are purchased with a mortgage and when getting a mortgage on a property, the home must be appraised. To get a particular home’s value, an appraiser will use “comps” or recently sold properties that are similar. Because home prices generally go up quickly, it becomes somewhat expected to see appraisals fall short of the sales price. This can limit some home purchasers to make up the difference in the homes sales price and the appraised value with cash.
The Long Term Effects to Real Estate
After a devastating <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/16/us/hurricane-michael-wxc/index.html" title="devastation of hurricane Michael">such as Michael</a>, we see a huge influx of insurance money as well as <a href="https://careersourceflorida.com/gov-scott-disaster-relief-employment-available-to-floridians-impacted-by-hurricane-michael/" title="available funds for Florida residents affected by the storm">federal and state money</a>. These funds help to rebuild the Panhandle’s infrastructure and historically have provided some insulation from the ebb and flow of nation-wide real estate trends. Expect to see improvements in many of the roads, public piers, retail stores and of course, the housing inventory.
It Can Be Hard to See
Many of the effects of Michael are terrible. Many families have lost their homes, some people have lost everything they own and needless to say...the <a href="https://weather.com/storms/hurricane/video/death-toll-in-florida-from-hurricane-michael-doubles" title="loss of life from hurricane Michael">loss of life is horrific</a>.
After any natural disaster, it is hard to believe that there could be any benefits. Neighborhoods recover, properties are rebuilt, and businesses get back on track. Many families and companies choose to leave the area, but this allows new people and new processes to come in, and this is the ebb and flow of <a href="https://www.panamacityhomesonline.com/communities/" title="panama city beach communities">Panama City Beach communities</a>. Panama City Beaches extend over 25 miles. This means there is plenty of sand and sun for families, businesses, and trade. It brings a quality of life that no hurricane can stop.

Panama City Drives Recovery
Panama City Beach will be the driving force behind much of the Florida Panhandle's rebuilding process. Panama City Beach will still have transportation, <a href="http://www.captaintroywetzel.com/" title="charter fishing">fishing</a>, and the boating trade to rely on. In addition to outdoor activities, the area is also be reinvesting in healthcare, technology, and education. Traditional businesses will recover, and new trades, insurance companies, and rehabilitation centers will get the opportunity to highlight their skills.
Where to Go From Here
Homeowners and buyers will undoubtedly have questions after the hurricane. Be sure to seek the advice of a professional <a href="https://g.co/kgs/DfzygB" title="Panama City Beach Realtor">Panama City Beach Realtor</a>, as the market will be in flux for a while. It can still be an excellent opportunity for home sellers, buyers, and investors in Panama City Beach.2018-10-19T09:53:00-07:002018-10-19T15:46:25-07:00Miller Admintag:panamacityhomesonline.com,2012-09-20:7078Getting Your Home Ready For Sale!

One of the biggest misconceptions of homeowners who are trying to sell their property is that they need a ton of money to improve its appeal to potential buyers. The truth is some ways can help <a href="https://www.hgtv.com/design/real-estate/15-easy-ways-to-prep-your-house-for-a-sale">make your home look better</a>, and not harm the bank at all. Here are some ideas that can improve your chances when your home goes on the market:
Achieve a Stronger Curb Appeal
They say that first impressions last, and just like everything else, you only get one chance when selling a house. Potential <a href="https://www.panamacityhomesonline.com/blog/3-questions-to-ask-before-buying-your-dream-home/">buyers looking for their dream home</a> typically give an average of 50 seconds for the home to impress them. Enhancing your curb appeal does sound like an expensive activity. It involves things like adding fresh mulch, decluttering your landscape, painting the front door, and changing light fixtures. <a href="https://www.panamacityhomesonline.com/blog/fall-property-maintenance/">With the right plan</a> though, you can perform these to-dos to increase the appeal of your home from the outside – and they cost from $0 to $199: Sweep the area, especially the front part of the house. Add a nice doormat at the home’s entryway. Make sure that entry light does not hang loose and look dirty. Paint the front door and caulk it if necessary. Remove all the weeds in your yard. If there are bald spots in the lawn, use a seed patch mix. If your mulch or rock areas appear messy and dirty, spruce them up by purchasing a few bags to match the existing material. <a href="https://www.panamacityhomesonline.com/">Real estate agents</a> have identified <a href="https://www.zillow.com/blog/5-tips-for-home-sellers-this-spring-149416/">curb appeal</a> as one of the top factors affecting a buyer’s decision. It is crucial to tidy up every part of the house. Buyers hope to see green grass, weeded flower beds, and a clean entryway. It’s subtle touches like this that help convince the buyer they’re choosing a good home.
Cleaning and Decluttering – Like You Have Never Done Before
Home staging involves cleaning, and it is a no-brainer that a dirty home will not please anyone. It also suggests that you have not taken proper care of the entire property. You surely do not want them to think that way, so clean and declutter as much as you can. Now, we don’t mean that everything has to go; you just have to clear the mess in our kitchen cabinets, closets, and pantry. These hidden sections are some of the places the buyers like to check. Cleanliness is vital because the buyers will see the home is well-cared for. Who would not want to see spotless and shiny doorways, ceilings, and floor corners? Plus, decluttering and cleaning the house can make the rooms look more spacious.
De-Personalize the Place
Take down your collection of movie posters, Russian dolls, and family photographs. As much as possible, aim to make the house a blank slate so that the potential purchasers can imagine themselves living there. Selling a house means you are ready to give it up, so keep everything neutral and remove yourself from the picture. During the showing, you may want to leave for a few minutes… and be sure to take your pets with you!
Painting the Walls
If your house has walls with bold colors, it could help to tone them down to a soft neutral color such as a light or medium beige. Paint can be your best friend when making your home’s interiors appealing to the buyers, but it’s got to look nice and neat. It’s not necessary to paint each wall if you don’t want to, especially if it’s in good condition. Just be sure it looks appropriate once you’ve finished painting the other walls. If you have wallpaper, either remove it, or paint over it.
Stage Your Rooms
Home staging is crucial in which you highlight the best features of your house and downplay the faults if they have any. Both cleaning and decluttering are a part of this technique, along with adding some fresh flowers in the dining room and a bowl of fruit on the kitchen table.
Here are more ways for home staging:
Upgrade the towels in the bathrooms. Put new linens on the bed. Edit your furniture pieces and rearrange them, along with the items in your room to give the space a defined purpose. If your bedroom looks like storage, it’s time to remove unneeded items. Work on the smell of your home as well, which means you should put in the effort to eliminate odors of pet, cooking, and others. There are many professionals who specialize in home staging. There’s probably someone right in your area! If you have questions about home staging, or for recommendations, talk with your Realtor first. He or she will know who does a good job and who doesn’t. Rely on their experience to help make selling your home a winning experience.
Rearrange Your Closets and Cabinets
Don’t be surprised if buyers look in your closets. They want to see the size, not your stacked boxes. Be careful not to hide anything in your closet that you don’t want to be seen, or things crammed in so that they come crashing out once the door is opened. Buyers are likely to open every door, so make sure your home is prepared for it. If everything is neat and organized, it shows that you take care of the house too.
Tidy Up Spaces
Clean up and organize your spice cabinet and pantry, and don’t forget the space under the sink. . Stack dishes as neatly as you can. Coffee cup handles should face in the same direction. All the shirts in your closet should be hanged together, with their buttons closed, and are facing one direction. Shoes should be put away, or lined up in a designated spot. “Less is more” for serious buyers, which is why your home for sale should not be cluttered or full. Lighten the load and get things into a storage unit. Scale down to the basics and make each room look as clean and attractive as possible.
If you have a lot of books, get them boxed up and in storage early. Books can make for heavy lifting, and you don’t want to do that all at once. Spread it out a little. Leave just enough items in each room for showings, and make sure buyers have space to move around. Put away keepsakes and trinkets.
Remove anything likely to distract the buyer away from the home. Also be sure the floor is clean and clear, so buyers find it easy to to navigate from one room to another. And if you have pets, don’t let your buyers and their Realtor get stuck behind a locked doggie gate they’re not able to easily open.
You can always seek the help of an expert to help show your home and get it ready for the potential buyer rush. Your <a href="http://longbeachsales.com/" target="_blank">neighborhood Realtor</a> should be a good source of referrals for any professional home-improvement related help. However, if you genuinely want to save, you can do all this cleaning and decluttering on your own, or with the help of family and friends, saving yourself potentially thousands of dollars, and all while increasing your home’s value. Now you're ready to sell!.

Should You Use a Professional Mover?
Whether you are <a href="https://www.panamacityhomesonline.com/hwy-30a-real-estate/">buying a new home on the 30A highway</a> or selling your family home you may be able to relate to the stress having to pack up all your belongings and get them to the new house, now might be the time to call in a professional moving company.
<a href="https://www.realtor.com/advice/guides/first-time-home-buyer/">Realtor.com’s First Time Home Buying Guide</a> says that making the decision between a moving company and renting a truck to move yourself are two of the most common choices people have to make when moving. At first glance, renting a moving truck may seem like the best way to save money however, it’s important to consider the added stress and exertion, and while the initial cost may seem like you are saving money there are many hidden costs you could be overlooking.
People look at the daily rental cost and think that they are getting a bargain but forget to include things like toll costs, the cost of fuel, packing boxes and materials, and most importantly, the cost of their time. When taken into account, renting a moving truck isn’t always the best bargain.
Packing is More Challenging Than You Realize
Packing and moving a home full of stuff is labor-intensive if you decide against hiring a moving company, you are going to need some help. This means calling in favors from friends and family. If you don’t have too many belongings and nothing is particularly valuable or fragile you can probably trust your friends to do the job. However, if you have a house full of irreplaceable or breakable items to transport, you might think twice before getting your friends to do the job.
Good friends are not necessarily good movers and are not insured for damages that are during a move. If your best friend drops your flat screen TV, chances are you are not going to sue them to replace it. A professional moving company can save you a lot of stress and you might even be surprised at how affordable they can be.
A professional moving company will give you a free estimate, and carefully analyze each room of the house to give you an accurate assessment of what it will cost to move you to the new house. The moving company will provide the boxes, the truck, and more importantly, the muscle.
Safely Moving Your Belongings Takes an Expert
A professional moving crew will know exactly how to pack your most precious belonging and put them carefully in the moving truck so that every piece supports the next. Each item is carefully positioned so it can not move and it allows the pieces next to it enough space to stay locked in position during the ride to the new house. <a href="https://www.angieslist.com/articles/7-reasons-hire-professional-movers.htm">Angie’s List </a>recommends hiring a moving company because provides insurance too, so if anything does accidentally break, they replace it.
A professional moving company will bring a team of experts to your home to carefully pack your belongings, load everything into the truck, and have it ready at your new home the day you close with the <a href="http://www.realestatelawnv.com/" title="real estate attorney">real estate attorney</a>.
Advantages of Hiring a Moving Company
Here are a few reasons to hire a moving company according to <a href="https://www.mymove.com/moving/top-10-reasons-to-hire-a-professional-mover/">MyMove.com</a>:
Peace of Mind
Reliability
Accountability
Efficiency
No Heavy Lifting
Professional Inventory
Experience
Experience counts in moving. An experienced mover will be able to address any concerns that you have and provide a safe, fast and efficient move.
Leave the moving to the experts, says <a href="http://www.wisebread.com/6-reasons-you-should-always-hire-a-moving-company">WiseBread </a>and focus on those pressing details that are going to need to be taken care of between the day the realty contract is signed to the day of the closing. Once you get your check at closing, you simply make your way to the new residence where the moving crew has already begun unpacking your belongings for you.
Ultimately, whether or not you hire a moving company will depend on how much stuff you are moving and where you are moving. If your inventory isn’t very big like the contents of a one-bedroom apartment, you and your friends will most likely be able to handle the job. If you are moving close by and can perform your move within a day, a rental truck may be the perfect choice for you.
However, if your inventory is bigger than that or your new home isn’t within a one day distance, hiring a moving company who is better equipped and prepared to handle your move is probably your best choice.

With this boom in new community developments and in single family homes, sales continue to move quickly as construction becomes complete. With the announcement from Freddie Mac on Thursday that interest rates have dropped to its lowest level since last November, considering that home purchase now may be just a good time as any.
Currently, such new proposed construction projects include 40 new homes in the newest community of Whisper Dunes located just off Back Beach Road at Sand Oak Blvd. This deed restricted community offers all the amenities for comfortable Florida living. They only have a few home sites left. Or, if you are looking for a beachfront condo, Calypso III Tower is a 250-unit, 20-story condo complex which adds to the grandeur of the Calypso Towers development. This new construction project is the first high rise condominium complex built since 2008. Furthermore, Moonraker is a proposed 85-lot single-family subdivision located just off Alf Coleman Road and Middle Beach Road. This new expansion has been approved and expected to start construction soon. Additionally, the Waterfall community, the Chaudry Residential community, and Golfer’s Paradise at Hombre are all under preconstruction approval.
With this boom in new construction scattered throughout Panama City Beach, which includes condos, golf course homes, and single-family home sites, now is a vital time to contact one of our agents who can supply you with further information about one of these proposed developments.

Other events include the Iron Man Triathlon, the 4th of July Festival, the Seabreeze Jazz Festival, the Winter Residents events, and the Summer Concert Series.

There is such a wide array of choices. Trip Advisor has ranked the top local restaurants to visit while in PCB by categories of Fine Dining, and Cheap Eats. ‘Fine Dining’ includes- Fire Fly, Salt Water Grill, Captain Anderson’s, and Dolce 101. ‘Cheap Eats’ includes- David’s Snow Balls, Eat My Pasty, Finns Italian Style Grub, and Diego’s Burrito Factory as just a few. Many local favorites are also available throughout the beach so your choices are never ending.
For shopping and pleasure why not visit the famous Pier Park which is always rapidly expanding. Also, for more fun and variety visit Ripley’s Believe it or Not, Wonder Works, Gulf World, or Zoo World all different and worth the trip. Play some miniature golf, ride go carts, or visit one of the many arcade facilities found up and down the strip.
Finally, for the not too out of the way day trip why not take a ride to one of our many surrounding natural springs/state parks? Just a short drive away you can visit the Florida Caverns, Wakulla Springs, Vortex Springs, Ponce De Leon Springs, Eco Fina, and Eden Gardens to name a few. Everything from the tallest waterfall in Florida, beach camping, to crystal clear natural springs and cave diving are some of the natural surrounding sites you can visit.

With spacious oversized balconies and with large wall length windows, one can enjoy the beautiful Florida sunsets right out your window or door.
As Long Beach Resort is centrally located on Front Beach Road, it is thus close to prime entertainment destinations such as Pier Park and other such beachside shopping and dining.

If you are contemplating purchasing a home, condo, or even a business venture and would like to finance your investment then now may be the time to go ahead and consider making this decision. Last week, Freddie Mac announced that the average rate on a 30- year fixed home loan increased from 3.97% to 4.03%. As of Thursday, the rate decreased slightly to 4.02% which has since remained the same. On a 15- year mortgage home loan the rate rose from 3.23% to 3.27%. The good news is, though, that according to the National Association of Realtors existing home sales jumped 4.4% in March “to their highest pace in over 10 years.” This sales increase is 5.9% higher than a year ago and the strongest since 2007. In Bay County, home sales rose 13.1% in April alone, compared to this time last year. With an average sale price this past month of $211,971, up 4.54% since April 2016, planning on investing in the real estate market is a wise choice. Since Panama City Beach is known for the ‘World’s Most Beautiful Beaches’, and since new home and luxury condominium construction is fairly recent and continues to grow, this area is the perfect destination to acquire real estate as either your primary residence or your vacation home. With an upper momentum in the housing market, and as mortgage rates currently hold steady, now is the perfect opportunity to make that decision.
