I am happy to say my Company is having a unique problem. We are running out of homes in our Inventory to sell. Usually this time of year we experience a lull in sales due to people getting their children back in school and focusing on that. Contrary to years past that isn’t the case this year. The showings have picked up and the few Residential Listings we have left should be under contract within the next few days. We have active buyers in the $130,000 to $295,000 range and we could use more homes in that range for sure.
Trim notices from the county have been mailed out and I received several phone calls from people who were concerned that their property values had plummeted as indicated by the assessed value. I advised them not to panic. It’s great that indicated values are reduced and you will be paying less in taxes than last year. You should understand that the value the county has indicated is not necessarily what your home would bring on the open market. A true value can be determined by A Real Estate Professional by performing a Comparative Market Analysis dealing with your home specifically.

Impact Fees Polk County Florida
Effective August 01, 2010 Polk County Commissioners in an effort to spur construction and create jobs enacted a moratorium on Impact Fees. This effort will greatly decrease the cost factor on new construction in the county. To read up on this in depth follow directions below:
The information is located on web page www.polk-county.net – on the home page look for Most Popular – there will be two columns, click in column one Building/Construction when that page comes up there is a column on the left, select item Impact Fee Rate Schedule
This will give you the impact fees for residential and non residential, and the Ordinance explaining the moratorium.
What many don’t realize that is that your Realtor can assist you the process of working with the many fine builders that work in Polk County. Much like buying a pre-owned home there is no cost to you the buyer for their services. When you work with a Realtor they will share with you their knowledge and experience and can help you select the builder that best suits your needs and requirements. This way you’re not limited to any one builder. I might also add that there are many find building sites available for purchase. We have several vacant land sites in our inventory.
