The Veritas Real Estate Group, Inc.

Once again I have resolved to keep this blog updated on a regular basis. I will be presenting my views of the real estate market here in South Florida as well as news concerning tax changes, solar energy, oil on the beaches, legislative changes and anything else that I think would be interesting to the real estate buying public.

First thing on my list is to let everyone know that Fort Lauderdale is on the east coast of Florida and borders the  Atlantic Ocean and NOT the Gulf of Mexico. Our beaches are clean and beautiful. I will let you know if any tar balls appear on our coast but I believe the expectation is that the oil will be well dispersed if it loops around the Keys and starts to travel up the east coast. Of course, no one knows for sure at this point.

Secondly, hurricane season started June 1. The old analog portable televisions that lots of us own for emergencies will no longer work. You will need to go out and purchase digital portable, battery-operated TVs. If you like to shop online, Amazon.com has one for under $100. I believe Target.com also has an inexpensive one listed and I am sure an internet search will turn up other sites.

Lastly, if you are looking to snatch up some foreclosure properties at great prices, give me a call. Many of these are in terrific shape and are going for rock bottom prices. Two or three bedroom condos in really good shape for less than $60,000 are available. These are not ocean front properties, however. Those kept their value and are not selling that low. But let me know if I can help and stay tuned for more info. In the near future you will be able to subscribe to this blog as a RSS feed, but first I have to figure out how to set it up.

Have a great day in South Florida.
