Just recently these condos in St. Pete beach have taken a huge price hit.

Seminole Isle condos and townhomes in Seminole Saint Petersburg

Seminole Isle is a very nice community here in Seminole Florida. It is located right on Park Blvd between Seminole Blvd and Park Street, in the middle of Seminole across the street from the huge Seminole park. It is only minutes away from the beaches of Madeira and Redington. Seminole Isle is a gated community with 6 condo complexes a total of 180 units and a lot of townhomes. Nearly all units have a great view onto Lake Seminole and the nature preserve. The complex is right on the water and has a nice dock and its own little beach. Seminole Isle features a nice clubhouse and tennis courts, a heated swimming pool and a long walk way around the community with beautiful direct waterfront places were you can just hang out or fish or watch the birds.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Location, Location, Location, it does not matter where you need to go in St. Petersburg, Seminole Isle is10 minutes or less from everything. There is a Publix and a Sweet bay within 5 minutes, a Home depot within 3 minutes, shops and restaurants even the Seminole Mall is less than 5 minutes away. It will take you 30 minutes to Tampa airport and about 15 minutes to the downtown Saint Petersburg waterfront. Seminole itself has a lot to offer, it is an up and coming community with lots of energy and lots of fun things to do. Seminole Isle was built some 4 years ago by Beazer, one of the nicest projects they ever did. Unfortunately the real estate market changed over night and Beazer stopped constructions on other projects that were planned for Seminole Isle. So, right now there is a lot of vacant land within the community. If you do not know about the developer stopping the project, you would not realize that it was supposed to have a lot more buildings. In the beginning of 2008 the developer turned the condo affairs over to the Seminole Isle association and the complex is now managed by the Leland Management Company.                                                                                          They have an onsite property manager that takes care of everything. Ok Let’s talk about the condos in Seminole Isle, like I said there are about 180 units and the have 3 different floor plans. The condos are either 2 or 3 bedroom between 1500 and 2100 heated square feet. Each condo has an assigned parking space underneath the building and tons of parking outside. Also, each condo has a very nice size screened in balcony, open floor plan and high ceilings. The townhomes are a little over 2000 sf. also available in 3 different floor plans and they have a big oversized two car garage/ bonus room downstairs. You have your kitchen, living room area on the second floor and the bedrooms on the third floor. I kind of like the condos better, that might be because I am too lazy to walk up and down the steps in a townhome. In the beginning of 2008 Beazer sold their last units in Seminole Isle and now everything that is or comes on the market is a resale. People paid a lot of money for these condos when they were brand new.                                                                                              Well, like I said before, in the meantime the market has changed and the sales prices in Seminole Isle went down dramatically. We are talking about prices that dropped by $150,000 within a 2 years period. Well this is good news for all the buyers out there, once in a while you can find that unbelievable deal in Seminole Isle. Just a few month ago,  a 2100 Sf. condo sold for $270,000. The seller had paid way over $400,000 for it about 2 years ago. According to public records it looks like there might be more short sales coming up in Seminole Isle.

I got a Notice of default from my bank, should I begin the short sale process or just wait?

Do not wait, if you qualify for a short sale, you need to contact us ASAP. We work in the Saint Petersburg Pinellas county area and a NOD ( Notice of Default) is a wake up call that you need to take serious. The banks can issue a Notice of default 16 days after you missed a payment. Usually we do not see it that early, but some banks take action that soon. If you have received this notice, you only have a limited time left to complete a successful short sale. If you miss this time frame, you will most likely be foreclosed on.

No reason to panik, but you need to act.

 

Anne Hensel, Realtor, CSP, Short Sale Professional, working with homeowners and buyers to successfully close a short sale transaction in Pinellas County Florida.

A lot of people here in the Saint Petersburg, Seminole area are facing a short sale situation, Waterfront properties on Saint Pete Beach or Treasure Island  as well as little homes in Seminole or Gulfport. Give me a call today and find out what your options are. Your short sale consultation is free of charge and confidential.

 

 

Do I have to move out of my home when it is in a short sale process?

No, you can still live in your home and you should.

There are a lot of reasons but I want to point out 2 reasons why you should stay in your home.

 

You are still responsible for your home; you want to make sure it is kept up nicely so you can get the best sales price for it.

While you still live in your home, you do not have to pay rent anywhere else.

Think about it, with a short sale or foreclosure situation here in Saint Petersburg, the ones that have the best chance to sell, are the ones that are owner occupied. The properties are still cared for and kept up nicely and will get better offers and eventually a better sales price. The “abandoned” houses and condos usually look very sad, they are dirty and do not show nice. A lot of people think that banks want them to move out ASAP. That is just not true. In a Short sale situation or foreclosure, the bank as in interest in keeping the home as nice as possible and the easiest way is to have the home owner live in it. We see properties, where the seller has moved out, the grass is growing, the weeds are growing, the electricity is off etc. These homes are just not attractive to buyers and you will receive low ball offers if any.

Can I do a short sale on my Saint Petersburg home?

This is a question that can only be answered if I have a lot of information from you and your bank. Every bank has different guidelines and in today’s world, things change by the minute.

But to give you some kind of an idea, I will give you two examples

Projected sales of your house or condo is $300,000

One mortgage of $ 350,000

Unpaid property taxes $ 7000

Closing cost of $20,000

     Yes, you have a very good chance that the bank will agree to a short sale.

But to give you some kind of an idea, I will give you two examples

Projected sales of your house or condo is $300,000

First mortgage of         $ 280,000

Second mortgage        $ 50,000

Home equity line of    $ 50,000

Unpaid property taxes $ 7000

Closing cost of $20,000

So. long story short, talk to us, we will help you determine if a short sale is right for you or if you have other options.
