Is Climate Change Beginning To Affect The Value of Your Florida Home?

Real Estate Survival Guide with Terry Story

Terry Story joined us once more for our weekly round-up of everything related to the real estate market. The section began with a talk about rising water levels and how these have been impacting on real estate prices in some parts of the country. Terry noted that the biggest falls have been Ocean City, New Jersey, followed by Miami Beach. She commented that it’s not a massive problem, but nonetheless, one that has impacted on the housing market.

Rules and Regulations

A listener sent in an interesting question regarding dogs, having seemingly agreed to all regulations regarding his pet dog, but then later having been told that it wasn’t allowed due to its size. Terry observed that this is a frequent problem, with new legislation and documents being drawn up all of the time in the housing industry. Both Steve and Terry agreed that this is where a good realtor can come in handy, and also emphasized that buyers should try to get hold of all documents related to a property and make this a priority.
