Reports show that Sarasota Florida is the best buy in the Western World ! The report, published today in www.GlobalEdge.co.uk ranks popular resort and second home locations around the world reveals the cheapest western holiday home destination is Sarasota, Florida , which is little surprise given how much the market has fallen over the past two years and the number of agents currently selling distressed property to foreigners in the sunshine state. Among the surprises: Apartments in Warsaw , Poland are selling for higher prices than Dubai . Manhattan and Paris are running neck in neck, but Moscow makes them both look cheap. Little wonder that the Russians are on an international buying spree, with Hong Kong residents close behind them. With China now officially the hottest residential market in the world, US properties are practically an impulse buy. International estate agency group Savills has published a list of best-value destinations in 35 countries across the globe

Premium Properties Sarasota: SAR Monthly Statistics Released for May 2010 - Sales Again At Highest Level in Almost Five Years!

Sarasota real estate market at highest level since 2005 Property sales in May 2010 in the Sarasota market once again hit the highest total since 2005 and median sale prices continued the steady pace observed in recent months. The 766 sales were the highest for the year, topping the April 2010 total of 757, and were the highest total since December 2005, and 51.3 percent higher than the May 2009 total of 506 sales. Pending sales were once again strong, hitting 857, but were slower than April 2010. The March and April pending sales figures both topped 1,000, and reflected a last minute rush to beat the federal homebuyer tax credit deadline. "The May 2010 statistics continued to show that the Sarasota real estate market is continuing a steady recovery," said 2010 SAR President Erick Shumway. "We saw a slight dip in the pending sales, which will likely be reflected in the sales numbers over the next 30 to 60 days. But median sale prices are higher

Walking away from a mortgage you can still afford to pay has consequences; everyone knows that. Your credit score is shot and it can be impossible to get credit.Some homeowners, no doubt, believe that the credit score hit is worth getting out from a deeply underwater mortgage. They may owe, say, $500,000 when their house value is only valued at $350,000. And, they figure, there's no way it will ever be worth what they owe so it's better to get out from underneath the burden. After default, they reason, they can raise their FICO scores by paying all their bills on time and eventually finance another home purchase. Don't count on it. While homeowners who default due to economic hardship, such as a job loss or divorce, normally must wait two to five years before buying a home again, walkaways may face double that time. "It could be well over seven or eight years before [walkaways] are able to obtain a mortgage to buy a home again," said Jay Brink
