Florida Realtors kicks off military phone card program

Florida Realtors kicks off military phone card program

Orlando, Fla. – May XX, 2010 – “To us, home is where we prop our feet up after a rough day” says Wendell Davis, Florida Realtors® president. “If ‘home’ to our service sons and daughters is a short phone call, then we, as Florida Realtors, should help them find ‘home,’ just as we help Florida buyers find a home.”

To honor our troops, Florida Realtors is donating money for phone calling cards that the USO will distribute to U.S. active duty troops. The USO has set up a dedicated webpage for credit card donations.

“When your son is in Iraq or Afghanistan, he’s physically 7,000 miles away, but the distance is much, much farther emotionally,” says Patti Fitzgerald, Florida Realtors president elect. “Comfort is a single phone call home. That’s it – a single phone call.”

“I was able to talk to my wife and family from Afghanistan, thanks to the phone cards donated by patriotic individuals, such as Realtors,” says LCpl Joseph Fitzgerald, U.S. Marine Corps and son of Patti Fitzgerald, Florida Realtors president elect.

Program details

• The USO will customize the calling cards with Florida Realtors® logo, so every soldier knows who paid for the call.
• The USO receives and tracks all donations. Checks sent to Florida Realtors headquarters will be forwarded to the USO.
• Everyone is encouraged to donate – not just Realtors.
• Deadline for donations: Aug. 15, 2010.

Florida Realtors has dedicated a website page for the initiative. It includes downloadable fliers with donation information about the program and how to donate by check; downloadable cards that can be handed out; and a link to the USO’s Florida Realtors credit card donation page: http://www.floridarealtors.org/supportourtroops.

Florida’s existing home, condo sales up in 2Q 2010

ORLANDO, Fla. – Aug. 11, 2010 – Sales of existing single-family homes in Florida rose 21 percent in second quarter 2010 compared to the same period a year earlier, according to the latest housing statistics from Florida Realtors®. A total of 51,564 existing homes sold statewide in 2Q 2010; during the same period the year before, a total of 42,604 existing homes sold. It marks the eighth consecutive quarter that Florida has seen higher existing year-to-year home sales, according to the state association.

Statewide sales of existing condominiums in the second quarter rose 45 percent compared to the same time the previous year. This marks the seventh consecutive quarter for increased statewide sales in both the existing home and condo markets compared to year-ago levels.

Statewide sales activity in 2Q 2010 also increased over 1Q 2010’s sales figure in both the existing home and existing condo markets, Florida Realtors’ records show. For 2Q 2010, statewide sales of existing homes rose 32.7 percent over the 1Q 2010 figure; statewide existing condo sales in 2Q 2010 increased 24.2 percent over the 1Q 2010 level.

Looking forward, the University of Florida’s Bergstrom Center for Real Estate Studies’ latest quarterly survey of real estate trends reported that job growth and the BP oil spill were cited as top concerns for the future outlook of the state’s real estate industry. The survey polls market research economists, industry executives, real estate scholars and other experts.

The center’s director, Timothy Becker, noted in the report that the oil spill has created “a cloud of uncertainty that is affecting all markets across the state. Our respondents indicate that the effect of the oil spill is being felt across Florida despite the fact that oil is only showing up on some beaches in the Panhandle.”

The survey reported the outlook for investment in industrial properties continues to brighten and is becoming increasingly positive.

Seventeen of Florida’s metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) reported increased sales of existing homes in 2Q 2010 compared to the same three-month period a year earlier; 18 of the MSAs showed gains in condo sales.

The statewide existing-home median sales price was $141,300 in 2Q 2010; a year earlier, it was $143,000 for a decrease of 1 percent. The 2Q 2010 statewide existing-home median sales price was 5.6 percent higher than the statewide existing-home median sales price of $133,800 in 1Q 2010. According to industry analysts with the National Association of Realtors® (NAR), sales of foreclosures and other distressed properties continue to downwardly distort the median price because they generally sell at a discount relative to traditional homes. The median is a typical market price where half the homes sold for more, half for less.

In the year-to-year quarterly comparison for condo sales, 20,986 units sold statewide for the quarter compared to 14,430 in 2Q 2009 for a 45 percent increase. The statewide existing-condo median sales price was $98,900 for the three-month period; in 2Q 2009, it was $110,300 for a decrease of 10 percent. The 2Q 2010 statewide existing-condo median sales price was 3.2 percent higher than the 1Q 2010 statewide existing-condo median sales price of $95,800.

Low mortgage rates remain another favorable influence on the housing sector. According to Freddie Mac, the national commitment rate for a 30-year conventional fixed-rate mortgage averaged 4.91 percent in 2Q 2010; one year earlier, it averaged 5.03 percent.
