A Humidistat how it can help with Florida Living?
Does a Humidistats help in Florida Living?
I asked my neighbor how it can help with Florida Living? Judi was so enthusiastic about the use of Humidistats in her homes so i asked her to explain how a Humidistat works for her,
She kindly did so in this Video.
"Do you want to know how to keep away mold and save on electric bills."
I find that even Spell check does not know what a Humidistat is or a Dehumidistat for that matter which is what Tri County calls it below. I have been helping buyers landlords for years and on my own property with getting quotes for new systems I have never had any mention, offer to add an inexpensive Humidistat to their quote, to help with humidity. Not one person even bothered to explain its purpose or benefits. I found when I later asked of professional AC company owners or their representatives, the most common response was "people just don't know how to use them, so we don't bother,".
Andy at Tri County Air Conditioning tells us how to use a Dehumidistat
Moving from Australia to the USA and firstly NY State was our first experience with Air conditioners and Thermostats. Later we moved from Northern California (an awesome dry climate) to Florida and found humidity was a shock to my family. It was July my first memory of Florida was unpacking our UHAUL trailer into storage unit in the middle of the day and how we were all dripping wet from the humidity in minutes. Luckily we moved to the beaches so we were all very happy to return to our condo and run into the Gulf of Mexico for a its warm but refreshing water and breezes. St Pete Beach soon became our Florida beach home. It was years before we found out about a Humidistat and how it works even though we saw many of them, we began to think they had become redundant.
We did hear that most popular Air Conditioner type was called a heat pump.
Here is another Humidistat Tip from a young lady at HomeTech
Its the Little things in life that we learn that can be so trivial but helpful to pass on Did you know what keeps and makes a Garbage Disposal Happy?
The answer is Crunching on Ice CUBES!

Do you have some interesting practical home tips that you have found helpful in moving to Florida?

I love the way Judi explains "that it is really the Humidity that causes people to be warm"

Good Press Prices are Up in St Petersburg and Pinellas
Good Press: Prices are Up in St Petersburg and Pinellas
16.1 percent increase from February 2015 to February 2016
Today's Tampa Bay times showed some good press with this gorgeous Snell Isle home being our largest sale.
Check out the article. Prices are up 16.1 percent increase from February 2015 to February 2016 Susan Taylor Martin Times Corespondent stated
"Tampa Bay homes prices soared again in February, continuing a robust start to the year driven by the meager supply of homes on the market.
The median price of a single family home jumped to $180,000, a 16.1 percent increase from the same month a year ago. That follows January's year-over-year price jump of nearly 20 percent.
February's biggest gains were in Pinellas County, where prices shot up 21.6 percent to $189,700 on a modest 3.2 percent increase in sales. "

Grenada Place an historical St Pete Neighborhood Video looking to Snell Isle.
I know we all dream of buying or selling a multi-million dollar home or even living in and around Snell Isle or anywhere in our amazing historical downtown St Petersburg, walking area. Possibly you like this one mapped here 6 Brightwaters circle St Petersburg FL 33704
Check this Brightwaters Snell Isle home: click Its is FOR SALE at $3,550,000

We had obvious general Confidence to begin 2016. There has been plenty of bad press but happily our area started the year with some Good Press:
In January St Pete times stated Home prices soared 20%
The down town market has hardly suffered over the past decade, it has been quite consistent.
Back to www.mystpetebeachhome.com
However across the many little markets of subdivisions in the Southern part of South Pinellas County and its Beaches some have more inventory than others. If your favorite is in a subdivision that has many for sale that would be a good indication for you the buyer of opportunity and to buy now the best, If you do not see what you are looking for within your budget, it i unlikely you will find something by waiting for next year.
Sure nothing is perfect bar a Snell Isle home or a Gulf Front home like the ones seen in the video of Northern part Don Cesar Place
There is only 4 gulf front homes north of 3700 El Centro on St Pete Beach Fl 33706.
This little Gulf front or Beach front Non-commercial Use strip on the north of Don Cesar Place consists of 4 homes. They have a unique boundary line that goes way out into the beach. I can show you the Survey as I SOLD one of them at the beginning of 2009 for $5,250,000. There has not been one build quite like that one FOR SALE since then. He was a happy buyer. Now the seller was reluctant as he wanted over $7,900,000 in 2007 then he Listed it at $6,900,000 in 2009 when i sold it. So Value is in the eye of the Seller initially and the Buyer makes the final opinion on value. Click here for a Instant Market Snapshot around your home see the trends - I can help you see what your home is worth ?
Again my advice for people buying a home on the beaches is the same now as i have given in the boom and the bust and this market!. "Buy now, if you see something that fits your lifestyle grab it. Call your realtor and make and make your offer today. We never have a lot of inventory on our narrow barrier islands. If a seller is willing to sell and you are ready to buy, then you can buy now and i can help you rent it, as it is a landlord's market. In the bust it was a tenant's market.
Now is the time to buy as this Tampa bay Times article shows prices are not going down.

Lack of inventory has always been a problem on the barrier islands or beaches of Pinellas County.
My advice is if someone is selling something you like for a price you can afford
buy it you can always create and make it your home.
click the video and come for an end of the day stroll on the sand with me.
