Island Estates Florida
How we prepare for Christmas in Clearwater Beach Florida
December 13th, 2011 Categories: Clearwater Beach Florida, Island Estates Florida
Clearwater Beach Florida – This past weekend was the annual Island Estates Yacht Club Holiday Boat Parade. This parade is held along the Clearwater Beach intercoastal waterways and starts at the Island Estates Yacht Club and weaves it’s way up and down the waterfront Island Estates homes and condos then also past Coachman Park. The parade is always held a week or two before Christmas and is a memorial to members of the Island Estates Yacht Club that died in the last year.
This is one of my favorite things about living in Clearwater Beach FL in December
– Hope you enjoyed the video of this year’s Clearwater Beach Florida boat parade - we had a great vantage point from Belle Harbor Condos boat slips. What a beautiful night it was with a full moon and all. If you have any photos or pictures I’d love to share them here too – email them to cyndee at sandbarstosunsets dot com – What’s your favorite thing to do to prepare for Christmas??

Clearwater Beach Real Estate | If I Buy a Clearwater Beach Condo Can I Rent it Out Weekly?
June 10th, 2008 Categories: Clearwater Beach Florida, Condos for Sale, Island Estates Florida, Sand Key Florida



Clearwater Beach Condos – Great for Vacations…How about for Rentals?
![]()
Clearwater Beach Florida – Buyers looking for great Clearwater Beach Real Estate purchases often want to know what their options are to rent them out when they are not using it. What many people don’t realize is the City of Clearwater’s code’s default is a minimum of 30 day rentals which means if no other rules apply Clearwater Beach Condos or other property must be rented for at least 30 days or longer.
Now while 30 days is the default for minimum rental most condominium associations set their own rules (This is why you have to read that big stack of condo docs and know what you’re agreeing to). Everything from allowing 7 day rentals to mandating no rentals allowed the first 2 years of ownership. Yikes!
Today I had client looking to purchase a Clearwater Beach condo as their vacation home. They also wanted to be able to rent it out weekly when it’s not being used. Sounds simple enough, right? The Clearwater Beach area rental facts below may surprise you.
This is another good reason why you want to work with Clearwater Beach experts who know this kind of info about the various Clearwater Beach condos (also things like are pets allowed, how to calculate property taxes, etc. – topics for another day) because….
Which Sand Key, Island Estates & Clearwater Beach condos allow Short Term Rentals?
Get the Facts:
- ALL Island Estates condos must be rented for over 60 days and most require a 90 days minimum or longer;
- On Sand Key there are only 2 condominium complexes that allow you to rent for a minimum of 14 days;
- Sand Key has no condos that allow 7 day rentals;
- Only 4 Sand Key beachfront condos allow 30 day rentals – the rest require that you rent their Sand Key Condos for 90 days or more;
The good news is that their are actually 7 Clearwater beach condos that allow 7 day rentals – quirky how that number matched. 5 of these short term rental condos have amazing inter-coastal waterviews (and you can walk across the street to Clearwater Beach) and there are two gulf-front Clearwater beach condo complexes directly on Clearwater Beach with sugar white sand at your backdoor.
You might wonder why rental periods vary so greatly – many reasons but one of the reasons many have a 180 day minimum rental period is to avoid the extra 12% bed tax (like at hotels) that is charged on all rentals in Pinellas County for rentals of less than 6 months. It’s something to consider when making your plans.
If you are looking to purchase Clearwater Beach Real Estate any time soon – give us a call at (727) 710-8035 and let us know what your rental goals are and we are happy to share with you which Island Estates, Clearwater Beach and Sand Key Condos match your requirements.

Clearwater Beach Real Estate Bargains Update – Waterfront Condos for Sale Under $200,000 on Island Estates
January 15th, 2008 Categories: Clearwater Beach Florida, Condos for Sale, Island Estates Florida
Clearwater Beach Real Estate Bargains
Clearwater Beach Florida – Today I was over on Island Estates in Clearwater looking at bargain waterfront condos.
One of our readers had contacted us wanting to see some Clearwater condos on the water – and he was beginning the process of looking for a Clearwater condo bargain. We got together to check some out and I realized that other readers might be interested in learning more about Clearwater Beach area properties that are for sale under $200,000.
So as of today, January 15 2008 there are five –1 bedroom / 1 bath Clearwater condos @750 sq ft on Island Estates for sale under $200,000. These Clearwater condos ranged in price from $159,000–$189,000 for waterfront condos with no age restrictions – there were also three Island Estates Condos for sale under $200,000 for 55+ adults.
The important thing for all buyers to realize in that in this “buyers” market – the Tampa MLS asking price is just that – the seller is asking for $xxx,xxxx amount – the real estate market pressures and current sales are determining what the SOLD price will be.
We love being your advocate and always work only for YOU to get you the best deal on any Clearwater Beach Real Estate – so think of the asking price as a starting point not an end point!
Clearwater Boat Slips are Prime Real Estate
Many of these Clearwater beach condo complexes on the water also have boat slips. They are either owned by the waterfront condo complex and may be rented first come first serve or they are a “for sale” – which you may be surprised but it is a valuable piece of Clearwater real estate.
Ironically right now there are seven boat slips for sale on Island Estates and they are asking $139,000 to just under $250,000! That’s just to own the boat slip itself.
In Florida boat slips are a limited resource and will always be in demand – it just makes you pause to think you can own a condo or a slip for your boat for the same price.

Clearwater Beach Real Estate – The Future’s So Bright I Gotta Wear Shades
January 2nd, 2008 Categories: Clearwater Beach Florida, Clearwater Florida, Island Estates Florida, Luxury Real Estate, Real Estate Market Reports, Real Estate News, Sand Key Florida, Tampa Bay, Tampa Bay FL Luxury Real Estate, Tampa Beach Living, Tierra Verde Florida
Clearwater Beach Florida – Maybe you remember the 80′s hit from the group named Timbuk3 titled “The Futures So Bright (I Gotta Wear Shades)”. Here is the link if you want to see & hear the video.
That song reminds me of what our local Clearwater Florida real estate market for home and condo resales should look like in 2008 and beyond as local Tampa Florida real estate market conditions continue to improve.
National Association of Realtors reports that in this market, our Tampa Bay economy is adding jobs, mortgage rates remain in our favor, our second home market is healthy, our location near the beach continues to be attractive, and further production cuts in new home construction should lower supply all of which should lead to an increase in home prices and lower inventory in 2008. (Email us to request full report supplied by National Association of REALTORS )
So, if you are in the market to buy a first or second home in the Tampa
Bay area check out what some of our real estate customers are saying, then call us to find the right home for you.
Clearwater Florida Real Estate - Homes & Condos

Clearwater Beach Real Estate | Oh Christmas Tree!
December 17th, 2007 Categories: Clearwater Beach Florida, Clearwater Florida, Island Estates Florida, Luxury Real Estate, Real Estate News, Sand Key Florida, Tampa Bay, Tampa Bay FL Luxury Real Estate, Waterfront Living
Clearwater Beach Buyer’s Agent shares Traditions
Clearwater Beach Florida – Did you know that the Christmas Tree was a big deal in Germany in the 1800′s and came to the USA with the Germans who migrated here (thanks goes out to my Great-Great-Grandfather…a minister from Germany)…LOL. By the way, these German immigrants also brought carols, stockings, and more to our culture.
That reminds me of the things that Clearwater Beach Buyer’s Agents like Cyndee and me bring to our real estate culture. As you may know, Cyndee and I built our Clearwater real estate business on helping buyers get good deals in Clearwater, on Clearwater Beach, Island Estates, and Sand Key.
Our contribution to the Clearwater Beach real estate tradition started out with a belief that since the Home and Condo Buyer writes the check, the Buyer should have representation in each real estate transaction. As you may know, I do not have a law degree, but I do respect the laws of our land and the spirit of these laws, and in some cases, I am inspired by our laws.
Clearwater Beach Florida Buyers get Trust and Confidence
Last week I wrote an article on how Dual Agency is Illegal in Florida and the lively conversation that followed reminded me of one of my favorite statements that comes from Florida Real Estate Law. This was one of the key factors that led Cyndee and me to focus on helping Luxury Home and Condo Buyers purchase their dream home here in the Clearwater Beach Florida area.
It is this simple phrase (Florida Law Describes “Fiduciary”): “A broker in a relationship of trust and confidence between that broker as agent and the seller or buyer as principal….” Hmmmm, trust and confidence, I thought!
This simple phrase is by itself a definition, but when combined with the relationship most Clearwater Beach Listing Agents have with Buyers, Transaction Broker, it paints a more complete picture of why you need to call us:
“…A transaction broker provides a limited form of representation to a buyer, a seller, or both in a real estate transaction but does not represent either in a fiduciary capacity….” Hmmmmmm….,
..limited representation and not a fiduciary relationship, Hmmmm…
If you want trust and confidence to be at the core of your relationship with your Clearwater Florida Realtor, then give us a call because we are focused on what our Clearwater Beach Buyers want, and we work only for you, and not the Home or Condo Seller!
Clearwater Florida Real Estate – Your Dedicated Buyer’s Agents

Island Estates Homes |Clearwater Florida Real Estate Market Update with Graphs
December 15th, 2007 Categories: Clearwater Florida, Island Estates Florida, Luxury Real Estate, Real Estate Market Reports, Real Estate News, Tampa Bay FL Luxury Real Estate, Waterfront Living
Island Estates Florida | Clearwater Waterfront Homes – Real Estate Market Report
Waterfront Living – Here is an update on what’s happening in Island Estates, Florida – Clearwater’s premier deep water waterfront neighborhood. Many people lately have asked me for an update on what’s happening in that neighborhood since we’ve all heard reports of it being a “strong home buyer’s market.”
We’ve included graphs of how long it’s currently taking for Island Estates, Florida homes to sell. When we look at the graph for 2007 it can be a little confusing when you realize that only 1 to 3 Island Estates homes have sold each month this past year – it’s easy to see how a single home could skew the graphs. We all have known homes to be on the market for sale at the “if someone offered me this I would move” price. We also gave you a 2 year view of Island Estates Home Sales to get a feel for what’s happened in the big picture.


We can see that when we were in a strong “home sellers market” homes in Island Estates, Florida were selling in under 30 days in January of 2006.
We have seen the time it takes to sell take longer over this past year. In addition when you are dealing with high end luxury waterfront homes in Clearwater you are marketing to a smaller group of potential buyers.

With a limited number of sales each month buyers need a local Clearwater Beach Real Estate expert to research and analyze the various homes for sale to get up-to-date information so you’re not over-paying for your Clearwater luxury home.
If you are trying to sell your waterfront luxury home in Island Estates pricing it right is the single most important factor in selling in today’s Clearwater Beach real estate market.

Island Estates Homes | Waterfront Neighborhood – Calling all Boaters
What’s the good news – the median price on Island Estates Homes on the water is almost the same as it was 1 year ago. We seen some home buyers have purchased Island Estate Homes for a good value however, it’s easy to see why these highly desirable waterfront homes have a median value approaching $1.5 million.
If you would like to know what your Island Estates Home is worth today – just ask – we’re happy to do a complimentary analysis for you.
If you are looking to buy your Island Estates home with deep water for your power boat or sailboat out back – hear what our past Clearwater home buyers have to say and if we sound like the kind of REALTOR you want helping you give us a call.
Want more info feel free to call us at (727) 422–8901.
Island Estates Real Estate – Waterfront Living
The City of Clearwater Florida is a unique area. Most people don’t realize in Clearwater Florida we have the mainland and Clearwater also includes Clearwater Beach | Sand Key |Island Estates area on the inter-coastal canals and Clearwater Harbor waterways.
Are you looking to buy a Island Estates Florida Luxury Condo or Home or Island Estates Waterfront Home or Condo with a boat slip and easy access to the deep Gulf waters where you can enjoy fishing, diving or just cruising? Here’s what some of our past clients have to say about how we helped them….

Clearwater Florida Real Estate | It’s all about Curb Appeal
December 12th, 2007 Categories: Clearwater Florida, Home Seller Tips, Island Estates Florida, Luxury Real Estate, Pinellas County, Tampa Bay, Waterfront Living
Are you in Need of a Clearwater Florida Face Lift?
Since 80 percent of Pinellas County homes were built before 1980, it just makes sense to know what remodeling projects are worth doing.
In Pinellas county, for example, it is hard to find land or an empty lot to build a new home, so in Clearwater, St Petersburg, Dunedin, Safety Harbor to name a few of our local cities you will most likely be purchasing a home or town home that has been renovated or you will be doing the updating.
Do Clearwater Home Improvements Add Value?
Most of you will not be surprised to learn that the home renovations that
Pinellas County Buyers like the most are on the exterior of the home. For example, new siding replacement will return 88% of cost, and a wood deck returns 85% of cost.
Outdoor kitchens have proven popular in our area with luxury waterfront and pool home owners.
The main message here is that before you start remodeling your Clearwater outdoor kitchen, putting in new windows or renovating your home, condo, villa and town home in the Tampa Bay area, it is wise to consider how the projects you choose will be viewed by potential Tampa Bay Home Buyers.
Realize that you may not get much credit for fixing things that are broken and that you need to make your home competitive with the competition – yes, YOUR Tampa Bay neighbors home! If you want more details, then check out The National Association of Realtors’ 2007 Remodeling Cost vs. Value Report
And, for Clearwater Beach FL, Sand Key FL and Island Estates Florida, call us to learn more about how to get more for your home.
If you are looking for the best home remodelers in Tampa Bay we can help you find the reputable, reliable Remodeling and Construction companies. We also recommend Renee Mott, Owner of RM Renovations LLC, St Petersburg, Florida – check out what their past clients have to say.
Clearwater Florida Real Estate – Renovate & Update
Are you looking to buy a fixer upper in the Clearwater FL area or thinking of selling your home in Clearwater Florida or the Tampa Bay area we can help.
