Best deals in canal front homes

I am sorry that it has been a while since my last post; it has been so busy! Thank you so much to the people who have found me through my blog, are reading it and decided to work with me. I put a lot of work into this blog; but what I enjoy the most is actually finding the perfect property for my customers.
In the current market it is especially important that you work with a Realtor who works in his/her profession full time and knows what is new on a daily basis.
Even when I do not write a new post, I do update my site every day with all new listings, price reductions, solds and pendings. You find that information on the right hand side of this blog; I update every morning between 7 and 8 AM.
If you are wondering why you do not see a lot of pendings if there is so much activity: Most agents wait until all contingenies have been removed in a contract before they change the status to pending. (Most often those are financing contingencies and they take ca. 30 days to be removed). You will see a lot of properties going pending in the next few weeks.
The current best sellers are low priced canal front homes and low priced dry lot single family homes.

These are all canal front homes currently listed under 500K: Click here

Great tool to keep you up to date!

Hello everybody!
Did you know that I can set you up to receive automatic e-mails when something new that fits your criteria comes on the market, has a price reduction, sold or went pending? I check every day what activity there has been in the Real Estate market over the past 24 hours and I post it here for you to follow but I must admit: The computer automatic e-mail alert is fantastic! I receive a copy of whatever alert was sent to you; that way I am alerted as well.
Please e-mail or call me if you'd like me to set you up to receive these automatic alerts; you will be send a link to the property so you can actually view the property and more info about it. If you like, you can copy these questions into an e-mail, answer them and I will set you up:
Mile Marker to and from or Island you prefer
Price range (The top number is more important, I always search from 0 to)
Condo or House
How many bedrooms?
Are views essential?
Bay or Ocean side or both?
Dockage Yes or no and if yes, how large is the boat?
Canal front, Bay front, Ocean Front or dry lot?
Construction: CBS (Concrete Block) or Frame or is either ok?
Is rentability important?
If there is other criteria you'd like to add just let me know.
If you'd prefer to tell me on the phone what you are looking for you can call me anytime at 305-393-0923 or e-mail me. If you'd prefer I can e-mail you the above list or you can just copy it into your e-mail and answer the questions.
My e-mail is Wiebkewestedt@aol.com
Thanks for reading my blog!
