FLORIDA #1 DESTINATION FOR INTERNATIONAL HOME BUYERS

 

A mid-2007 National Association of Realtors survey

found that Florida was the leader in foreign home buying

at 26% of all international purchases.

California was next at 16%, Texas third at 10%.

This includes purchase of mid-priced primary residences,

luxury vacation homes, investments to rent out,

and commercial properties.  Being a convenient

point of entry to the US from Europe and South America,

warm weather, recreational and cultural offerings

were cited as reason for a preference for Florida properties.

With the dollar weakness against the euro and British pound,

foreign buyers have more purchasing power compared to

home prices in other countries, e.g. the UK, Span and Ireland.

Florida has 31 major airports and 14 deepwater seaports.

According to the US census bureau, Florida gets more than

4-MM Visitors from 100+ countries in a year.  In a 2005 FAR survey,

15% of total home sales in Florida were by international buyers.

One-third of foreign buyers were from Latin America.

still view the economy with a wary eye,

confidence also improved in April, rebounding to 95.5

percent from a low of 87.7 in March

MARILYN SAYS:
Buy today at below market value, with a FAVORABLE mortgage plan that I will find for you. 
Important qualifying factors are credit, employment records, and documented proof
for the lender to determine your ability to pay.  However, if you can't meet these criteria,
email me and  Let me find you the best possible
program.  Email marilynfjacobs@gmail.com. 

THIS IS THE TIME TO BUY. 
I read, "market going up; market going down"; but as a Realtor,
I'm selling properties... at very good values... and as a Mortgage Broker
(with Iberia Mortgage Corp., Lic. Correspondent Lender), my clients are
getting very good deals with interest rates so low right now.  

Your BEST INVESTMENT is a home that will appreciate in equity value for you. 
Happy to be of help... and I can find you a great property as well as
a great mortgage plan.  There are many good values right now in southeast Florida. 

Some say that with a Presidential election looming up next fall,
"things will soon be going uphill," and if history repeats itself,
that is what will happen.  This MIGHT BE THE MARKET LOW, 
from now until summer (and during this period
inventories will start to dwindle and
the best properties will be bought up).

You can go to http://www.MarilynJacobs.com,
click on EXPLORE THE AREA, go to the area(s) you are considering, and
click on appropriate categories for photos and descriptions of communities. 

My affiliates include a PROVEN home inspector, title company,
home-owners insurer, and anything else you will need in the process
of buying your house - I'm a Real Estate Consultant - "one stop shopping." 
That takes the stress off of my buyers and sellers... as everything is well taken care of. 

My commitment, my knowledge, my dedication, my experience and my savvy
equal excellent results for my clients, and as "smooth a sailing"
as possible between the purchase contract and the closing.

LET MARILYN SHOW YOU HOW TO
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPORTUNITY!

NOW  IS THE TIME TO BUY!!!

...MORTGAGE INTEREST RATES ARE LOWER
THAN LAST YEAR  but with higher competitive rates
offered by foreign banks, e.g. in England and China,
lending rates may go up - this is a good time
to get a mortgage with low interest rates

...SOME SELLERS ARE RESILIENT AND STUBBORN,
not lowering their prices, resulting in many
expired, canceled and withdrawn listings,
so inventories may come down and ultimately
BUYERS WHO WAIT WILL PAY HIGHER PRICES FOR
INFERIOR PROPERTIES

...THERE ARE ALWAYS BUYERS IN THE MARKET
who will buy and the best properties will be gone
for those who waited too long...
the best time to buy may be
JUST BEFORE PRICES START TO CLIMB AGAIN  

...LET MARILYN FIND YOU PROPERTIES THAT ARE
PRICED WELL before some other savvy buyer
picks them up... according to your wants and needs..
