Florida Keys Real Estate News

Founder's Park in Islamorada, Florida Keys held another community event.  Island Fest, an annual Islamorada Chamber of Commerce event, is held in April.  The road parallel to the beach was lined with talented artists selling their masterpieces.   Local musicians filled the air with tunes for every age.  A sand castle was built by a professional and then the children were invited to sculpt their own creations! Lets not forget the tasty treats that the Chefs created from the local restaurants.  The Taste of Islamorada was held on Sunday - mouth watering, appetizer size portions were the talk of the town.  It is astonishing the number of events hosted by these island chains. You can find yourself having a new experience almost every weekend throughout the Florida Keys.  

If you own a home in the Village of Islamorada in the Florida Keys there is no cost to enter the park (unless there is an event being held there charges an entrance fee).  The park has many different aspects - soccer and baseball / soft fields, olympic size swimming pool that is temperature controlled, tennis courts, outdoor work out equipment, the path around the park is exactly one mile, playground, dog park, beach, boat ramp and marina.  To gain entrance to the pool is a small fee.

Bedrooms come in all different shapes and sizes.  This is often a place where we can go to retreat and unwind.  When it comes to selling your home, the master bedroom is scrutinized the most because the Master(s) is making the purchase!  Whether the bedroom is on the smaller size, on a grand scale or a child's room, try and make the most of your space. Clearing clutter and organizing can make a room appear larger.  If you are on a budget, there are ways to freshen up a room without breaking the bank.  Many discount stores on the mainland can help with your project.  Keep it simple and clean.  



Larger bedrooms have an opportunity to take advantage of the space and create intimate sitting areas.  Again, keeping it more on the simplistic side.  We want Buyers to envision their furniture fitting into the home.  When you freshen up the walls with a coat of paint, don't necessarily hang all your pictures again.  Leave most of the walls untouched.  Buyers can imagine decorating the room with their personal items.  



Children's rooms can be a bit more challenging.  When you have decided to sell your home there is some preparation that needs to take place.  This is a great opportunity to have your child clear out their clutter or put most of it in boxes for storage.  The less they have to keep clean and organized, the less frustrating it will be on them and you.  When they unpack in their new home, it will be a great surprise to see all the toys they had put out of their minds. Which will make the unpacking on the other end a bit more exciting!
