What is the Difference between HO 6 and HO 3 insurance
Homeowners policy unit owners form 6 (HO 6)
Diana Sames See some recommended Agents and Agencies
Homeowners policy unit owners form 6 (HO 6)
Part of the Insurance Services Office, Inc. (ISO), homeowners forms portfolio, the HO 6 form covers the real property interest and the personal property of insureds who own a unit in a condominium or share an ownership interest in a cooperative building. It also provides personal liability coverage and medical payments coverage.
This form is similar to the HO 3 in many ways but provides less real propertycoverage since it is designed to coordinate coverage with a master policy covering the structure and common areas that the condominium or cooperative association purchases.

Economic Out look for 2018: Erosion of Housing affordability Video
2018 Prediction: Erosion of Housing Affordability
Describes my experience in the last 6 months
Interest Rates forecast it will rise as much as a percent.
Home price rising 6% but lower price rising is 15% up,
This is a killer for those Millennials looking to buy their first home.
The last few years in South Pinellas County behind the Beaches and Downtown St Petersburg have been a great time to buy low CASH in UP and COMING areas and make a killing.
Retirees, single ladies, Millennial's are looking to buy, they also want to buy "updated".
Cash investors have been naturally taking advantage of these up and coming areas and renourishing
communities by buying low, rehabbing then flipping homes that should not normally appraise but with enough cash down to make it not matter. Lack of inventory and Demand rule right?
I have seen this in the summer and fall normally off season and a good time for any buyers, especially young people looking to get their foot into the American Dream. The affordable reasonably updated, small home, housing market in Pinellas Florida is booming, causing multiple offers to come in on the best home in the worst, but ok neighborhoods.
This demand pushes the once affordable home locations to shrink and so do the opportunities for first home buyers with their hope of 3% down FHA loans finding themselves just
out of a the market.
Listen to Core Logic Dec 2017, eloquently sum up this trend Erosion of Housing affordability

"We couldn’t ask for a better neighborhood! The neighbors adore watching our kids help in the yard, decorate for holiday seasons and care enough to watch over the house while we are on vacation. One neighbor in particular pet sits for us and comes over for dinner on the holidays. I think you will find living in this area is friendly and peaceful."

1. Pasadena Fundamental Elementary School- Great Schools rating 9/10. Pinellas County grade-A

3. St. Petersburg Collegiate High School- Great Schools rating 10/10. Pinellas County grade-A

Good things are happening on St Pete Beach today
The Beautiful Historic Don Cesar Beach Hotel was built in 1920,
It has been for me the heart of St Pete Beach since moving here in 1997.
My attempt to paint a memorable moment at DonCesar Beach Hotel. This evening I was walking down to the water on the beach, the sky was a grey and I thought there was too many grey flat clouds on the horizon and that it most certainly would not be much of a sun set, then I turned around and the contrast nearly made me trip backwards! There was a man siting by the water on his beach chair hoping for the sun to come out through the grey water and sky over the Gulf, well, he saw my shock as I looked around and jumped up off his chair too as the voluminous clouds poured upward into the sky with tremendous shocking colors light up the sky to the East all around the Pink Beach Hotel .
My First Samsung Phone took this Picture long before Apple phone and i- tunes.
Now we all have cameras every angle is magnificent.

Tampa Bay Luxury Home Market June 2017 is it UP or Down
Tampa Bay Luxury Residential Home Market,
Is it UP or is it Down?
Let's look at a few Locations.
TAMPA FLORIDA
Firstly, let's look at Tampa Bay Business Journal Article linked below.
1403 Pass-A-Grille Way Recently Sold at $2,537,500
This stunning restoration of its 1925 original Mediterranean Architecture.
Listed 6 months earlier $1,600,000 higher, as at that time it marketed as 1 Pass-A-Grille Compound so to speak but with 2 homes. The Sellers were happy to separate and return it back into 2 homes, keep their original cottage for occasional visits. Hence the $1,600,000 price reduction is put into perspective. It is hard to leave this unique historical St Pete Beach Island location.
2707 Pass-A-Grille Way was listed at $5,595,000 SOLD for $5,395,000. Built in 1952 and was the former estate of Anheuser-Bush on over half an acre or a full block on the water in Pass-A-Grille with 9 bedroom and 9 bathrooms over 6000 sq ft. It was ON and OFF the market for 5 or 6 years, over 2000 days. However this time, the Market was READY for it, despite St Pete Beach' 2 long years road reconstruction that left the Estate at its worst, dusty, curbless and with yes, literally "no curb" appeal. Yes, the timing was right as it recently JUNE 2017 the Estate Sold.

As a Realtor, a Real Estate agent who is affiliated with a professional organization and it's Code of Ethics, I am starting to see and experience this trend where sellers will not touch an offer that is contingent on the sale of a home no matter how "good" it looks that means even if you have an offer in place. Sellers prefer you wait until all contingencies on the buyer's property are met.

Sellers Market in 33711 and 33712
Here is experts from the Article in the Tampa Bay Times June 3rd

Gated, Secured, Pet-Friendly, People friendly with lovely grounds and amenities.
MORE on the News Article Below.
"Arguably, no part of the bay area has drawn more real estate attention in the past few years than St. Petersburg with its suddenly exciting downtown. That helped two ZIPs south of Central Avenue — 33711 and 33712 — record among the highest rates of price growth in Tampa Bay.
Covering Lakewood Estates and Pinellas Point, 33712 "was historically lower value but that's where people are shopping now because the rest of the ZIPS have increased in value so much," says agent Peter Chicouris. In the first three months of this year, the median sale price of a house in 33712 shot up 79 percent, to $172,000
As for 33711, which includes the waterfront community of Maximo Moorings and part of Gulfport, "there's that proximity to the interstate and the beaches and they have renovated a lot of those strip shopping centers," Chicouris says. "It makes it more desirable to live in those areas."
During the first quarter, the median sale price in 33711 soared 94 percent to $147,500.
Like all of the agents interviewed for this story, Chicouris sees no sign that Tampa Bay's real estate market is slowing down. Demand continues to outpace the supply of available homes. Newcomers continue to pour into the area, while many current residents are looking to upgrade, downsize, change scenery or move somewhere more convenient for what they want or need.
"It's definitely a seller's market," Chicouris says. "There's just not that many homes to ...o

Belle Vista Community Pass-A-Grlle Road reconstruction meeting April 2017
Belle Vista Community meeting April 15th our first meeting this Season.
Alan, our mayor introduced Wayne Saunders as locals are all anxious to know how things were going with the road work in our historical Pass-A-Grille road re-construction project.
Wayne Saunders - City Manager and Alan Johnson Mayor
Bringing a plate to share and enjoy the end of the day discussions with our
commissioner
Ward Friszolowski Vice Mayor, District 3 And Volunteers
They answered our questions and I went away excited and proud to be a part of our St Pete Beach City.
My biggest takeaway was that the project was only running 2% above budget ( BIG BUDGET!!!) Also that the 2 recent also how 2 recent HOTEL sales will bring lots of $ to our Tax Base but will give other developers confidence. The Sugar Sands Project particularly was negotiated as a win-win for the city sewers and infrastructures as well as the developers.
Trade Winds Purchase of Coral Reef is a win win for St Pete Beach Sugar Sands Resort approved March 2017
The TradeWinds Beach Resort Purchase of Coral Reef is a win win for St Pete Beach Sugar Sands Resort approved March 2017
Sugar-Sands-Resort-St-Pete-Beach Approved
.March 21st St Pete Beach City Agenda: DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT – An Agreement between the City of St. Pete Beach, Florida, authorized by Sections 163.3220-163.3243, Florida Statutes and the City’s Land Development Code, Section 45.1-45.12, and the RIA Coral Reef, Inc., will be considered for the improvement of the City’s wastewater system.
The City Manager and Committee came to a mutual " WIN-WIN" agreement. In a nutshell:
They Approved this new Development called SUGAR SANDS RESORT March 2017 on the Site opposite our Remax Preferred Office At 5801 Gulf Blvd St Pete Beach Fl 33706 which the Trade Winds has owned since 2004. Building plans are under way simultaneously as the City Plans to redo the ST PETE BEACH Sewers with a loan from the HOTEL! I think that is a sweet deal for all.
