Sal Livoti and Misty Pace Fl Keys real estate services
We work mostly in the Upper Keys area selling Real Estate in Key Largo and Islamorada Real Estate, but also have listings in Marathon, Grassy Key and as far South as Sugarloaf Key.

We specialize in the sales of Waterfront Homes, which consists of homes that are open water Bay front Homes, Ocean front Homes and homes that are on Canals. Luxury and Estate Home listings are on this site and you can also check our Home Page Link to LuxuryHomes.com for more Luxury Homes.

An alternative waterfront home that we list for the lower price ranges are the Mobile Homes that are built in Single Family Subdivisions. These subdivisions have a mobile home zoning, and differ from Mobile Home Parks as they are not gated RV Parks. You own your land and the lot sizes are much larger, most with 40’ to 60’ of waterfront. These homes can also be removed from the property and new construction can be built, CBS Concrete, Wood Frame or Pre-fab’s are the current trend now in these neighborhoods.

We also have many Dry-lot homes for sale, this is a term used for homes that are not on the water. If you have a boat and need access to the water we will help you find a home in a subdivision with a home owner’s park that has a boat ramp. Fee’s for these home owner’s parks are usually under $100 per year.

We list Condominium and Town homes from the many complexes in the Upper Florida Keys. However the amenities of these complexes will differ so if you want to make your Florida Keys Real Estate investment into this type of property we can help you with the in and outs of the C/T market.

We try to keep these listings as current as possible, as “Top Listing” agents we usually carry between 20 to 30 Real Estate listings. We always have new listings coming in and like to offer them first to the Buyers that are in close contact with us. All our new listings are usually up on this site within 2 days.

STAGNATION!

A new word for Recession. Our Florida Keys Real Estate market is working it's way through this economic hardship. Whether it was inevitable or brought on and worsened by the Media, the fact of the matter is that a correction was needed. In many areas of our country, the prices of real estate went too high too fast. For the Sellers in today's market this is gonna hurt, but for the Buyers there is an abundance of opportunities.

But most of the Buyers are looking in the wrong places for this "Great Deal" that they want to make. They are taking the hard road searching through the short sales and the foreclosures looking for the best deal they can find.

The majority of these Buyers will find out in the end that all their time and effort yielded them nothing or no real gain, and maybe settled for a house that they didn't really want. Most of them won't be able to finalize a closing on these properties as most of their offers will be rejected. In the long run they will only have watched the prices and interest rates climb higher during the time that they wasted, and the home that they could have purchased will soon be priced out of their budget.

The fact of the matter is that our MLS is full of Listed Properties that are below market value with Sellers that are willing to negotiate lower than their list price. The smarter Buyers will come to realize this and be able to pick out the house that they really want and can negotiate their best deal.

This is a Great Time to Buy Florida Keys Real Estate! I will be posting some properties offered for sale at this time in the Florida Keys MLS.

Florida Keys Coastline Barrier info
Coastal Barrier ResourcesSystem Act (CBRS): Certain properties in Monroe County may be affected by the Federal Coastal Barrier Resources System Act or proposed amendments. For information contact the United States Department of the Interior, the Monroe County Planning Department or your legal representative. Property so designated is not eligible for federally subsidized flood insurance as well as other benefits.

Flood insurance in the keys
Flood Insurance: The buyer must determine the insurability of the property against flood damage by seeking the advice of a qualified insurance agent. Structures built before January 1, 1975 (pre-firm) are subject to rules governing substantial and non-substantial improvements to pre-firm structures which maylimit the reconstruction, rehabilitation or additionto the pre-firm structure. Structures built after January 1, 1975 that has enclosures below the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) are typically not habitable. The existence of habitable space below the BFE may require demolition or an increase in insurance premium. Buyers should contact the Monroe County Federal Emergency Management Coordinator or the City of Key West, City of Key Colony Beach, City of Layton, City of Islamorada and City of Marathon to ascertain how these rules may impact on theproperty of interest.

Buying a waterfront home in the Florida keys
Things to consider when buying any waterfront vacation home.
First off, congratulations at looking to the Keys for a possible vacation home. The good news about the Keys from an investment angle are:
There is only so much waterfront or Coastal property available.
The Keys have strict environmental laws that affect building permits. This means there are only so many homes and always will be a limited number of homes here. One big reason for this is there is just ONE Highway in and out of the Keys. (US1) If there is an emergency, people need to have the ability to leave quickly and so for this reason alone, the Keys will never be California. The other main environmental consideration is the water quality. The Keys main attraction are water sports and Monroe County is going to make sure that our waters are clean and usable.
To consider when purchasing any waterfront vacation home and how the Keys measure up:
Is there a view?Views really do matter. An unobstructed Ocean view adds as much as 60% to the value of a home per the Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics. Proximity to Golf courses or a park can add as much as 20% to a homes value. This is per an article by a much published author named Soren Anderson, a writer from Manchester College.
Consider the recreational activities…The What and the When. For example in a Ski resort area, your options are limited due to weather considerations and the total amount of activities available is definitely less.*In the Keys, about the only thing you cannot do year round are mountain climbing and white water rafting.
Boating access and controlling depth Is there direct boating access on the property? If so, how large a boat can you have behind the home? This is determined by what we in the Keys call controlling draft or depth. For example: If a boat is under 30ft in most cases 3 ft draft is OK. Draft means...what is the lowest water depth you have to go through to get to open or deep water.If you have a sailboat or 50 ft boat you will need deeper draft such as 5ft.Now ..obviously if you have a 50 ft sailboat behind your home, the canals or waterways have to provide you with turn-around room. If the access is deep draft, then expect prices to go up. If there is no water access at the home or the draft is for kayaks only, in most cases expect a drop in price. If there is no direct water access...how far is the nearest boat ramp or is there a boat slip available? If so, is it included and what is the draft out of the boat slip.So the boating issue has a very direct effect on pricing here. Neighborhoods with bigger canals and deep draft boating are generally home to the Million dollar and plus homes.
