I have been involved with this AYFL program for the last 3 years.  My husband coaches and my daughter is a cheerleader. This program is all about the kids.  I highly recommend it for your kids.  - Courtney

A proposal calling for 6 properties (5 homes and 1 vacant lot) on the north end of the lake calls for de-annexing those properties in favor of Wilton Manors.  This proposal comes after attempts to re-zone and re-develop Lazy Lake have failed.

One zoning proposal would let builders triple the village’s number of homes to about 45 single family homes.

Making this an issue at the state level will be setting a precedent encouraging other people in Broward unhappy with their cities to seek deannexation.

Lazy Lake is currently the smallest city in Broward County and the fifth smallest in Florida with 40 residents and 15 beautiful lakefront homes.  Call Courtney Silverman 954-292-0743  about buying in this intimate community by Wilton Manors, FL.

We are reverting back to stricter lending standards seen 20 years ago, as a result of the risky loans homebuyers took out to acquire properties they could otherwise not afford.  So this means new home buyers and those who choose to refinance should expect to pay a higher down payment and have a higher credit score than in the past.  The days of no document loans, asking for proof of employment and of income, are gone.

Even though the Federal Reserve has steadily cut rates to make it easier for borrowers to refinance their current interest-rate reset on their mortgages, there is still a reluctance to extend credit.  Companies that made second mortgages are now denying requests to take a secondary status in the event of a foreclosure, especially in markets that have been declining.  Conventional lenders have removed 30% to 40% of the borrowers who could have qualified in recent years.

The Feds made another drop in short terms rates yesterday.  The Fed is desperately working to turn the nations economy around.  The threat of recession continues to be driven by the poor national housing market. 

Here in the Broward County markets of Fort Lauderdale, Weston, Davie and Plantation areas, we continue to have one of the best housing markets in the country.  It is not the market that we enjoyed 2 years ago, but homes are still selling that are priced properly in the market.  The average time on the market here is about 115 days.  Courtney Silverman’s inventory are on the market less than 68 days before receiving a contract.  There is around 18 months of total home inventory in the Fort Lauderdale, Weston, Davie and Plantation areas.  Home price are sliding slowly.

Now is a great time to buy residential real estate.
