A Message from Don...
By Don Bahash, Realtor
It’s February and the height of the snowbird season. I hope you are having an easy winter and staying warm if you are in the colder parts of the US. Here in Southwest Florida, it’s sunny and a little cool, but the real estate market offers great opportunities as inventory is quickly reducing as the home prices have adjusted downward.

For more information, visit www.DonBahash.com for real estate market information, featured properties, my blog, news items, mortgage calculators, and links to local sites. Our firm provides “Superior Service, Superior Results!” and I bring the very best of Southwest Florida to you.
Will the New Short Sale Rules
Help the Process?
By Peter Smith
Short sales are a tricky business. If a homeowner owes more money on his house than he can sell it for and is having trouble paying the mortgage, the bank will allow the house to be sold for less than is owed. That's a short sale in theory. In the real world, banks don’t like to do them. They do everything in their power to make the process drawn out and complicated. It's no wonder that only one in ten short sales is successfully completed... Read More
Energy Efficient Mortgages

From the saturated colors of fresh fruits and flowers to the neutral hues of pavers and fountains, the promise of new spring gardens can provide an endless source of decorating inspiration... Read More
What's Happening in Real Estate for 2010?
By Melissa A. Nykorchuk
The real estate market in 2010 has more promise than in the past few years. With house prices in some areas beginning to stabilize and historically low interest rates, the real estate market is perfect for buyers with good credit.

The Tax Credit is a Positive Incentive
With the $8,000 tax-credit incentive extended through April 2010, first time homebuyers are continuing to buy homes that they might not have bought without the incentive. Home purchases for first time homebuyers are expected to continue to rise until the tax-credit incentive ends.

Qualified Buyers Come Out Ahead Although lenders are keeping the debacle of the sub-prime ... Read More
How to Find a Roof Leak
By B. Conrad
A leaky roof is one of the most common challenges faced by homeowners. When the roof leaks, a variety of problems can follow, from infestations of mold and mildew to damaged foundations. Many times a roof leak can be repaired, with low expenses and minimal time commitment. The first step is to identify the source of the leak.

The first sign of a roof leak is often wet ceiling tiles. In this case, the source of the leak can be found by tracing the leak backwards to its source on the roof, keeping in mind that the source of the leak may be some distance away from where it is dripping into the home. There are a number of common places for roofs to leak, including... Read More
