Clearwater Beach Florida - Aqualea condos are in full swing and on target to meet their December soft opening.Here’s a glimpse into the spectacular views you’ll be getting from the 16th floor of the Aqualea Condos and Hotel.

The photo on the right is how it looks today (Sept 2007)- just south of Pier 60.What Clearwater Beach looked like before Aqualea

As you can see Aqualea Condo Hotel is in the very beginning stages of it’s construction phase.

The look of Clearwater Beach is changing dramatically with the on-going development of Beach walk and all the new luxury condos being built.

Aqualea is located on South Gulfview Blvd on Clearwater Beach and is considered the centerpiece of Clearwater’s new Beach Walk. It will be managed by Hyatt’s resort Management.

The Aqualea Resort Hotel and Aqualea Condominium Residences will be almost 1 million square feet of pure luxury when it’s complete. They are planning for the building to be completed by the end of 2009.

Aqualea will be made up of:

* Hotel rooms;
* Condo Hotel units - to be managed by Hyatt’s resort management program and can be rented when not in use;
* Luxury Condominium Residences - available for full-time residence;

Aqualea 4 Star Resort Planned Amenities:

* (2) large landscaped swimming pools including kids only section - on the 8th and 16th floors;
* Beachside towel and beverage service;
* The White Orchid Spa and Fitness Center;
* Private air-conditioned poolside cabanas.
* Library;
* Media room;

* a $5.4 million penthouse;

None of the residential units have been sold yet. They plan to begin selling these in 16 months (around the 1 quarter of 2009) when they can actually walk people through the building.

Clearwater beach walk celebrates condo developments at Pier 60 Aqualea was one of nine new luxury beach condo development projects announced for Clearwater Beach since early 2005.

Clearwater Beach Beachwalk kickoff at Pier 60

This is a picture I took this Spring at Pier 60 when the City was celebrating Clearwater Beach Walk - the castle was not done when I took the photo but what a shame that Indigo Beach has already been canceled.

Clearwater Community News - Forget The Laundry Room — WonderWash Makes Countertop Laundry A Reality.

The WonderWash washes 3 pairs of jeans on your countertopClearwater Beach Florida - We all know that beach condos can have limited space. Today most owners want the ability to do laundry in Clearwater Beach Condos.  It looks like a propane tank, but this device is a washing machine, if you can believe it.

Pictured at right is the WonderWash, an environmentally- and budget-friendly laundry product that fits on a countertop and washes with even less water than hand-washing.

As we all look for ways to conserve water and be environmentally friendly this may be a great alternative. Check out the Laundry Alternative, the WonderWash washes 5 pounds of clothes in just a few minutes with a couple of turns on the crank.  Its internal pressure system forces detergent through clothes at very high speeds — up to 100 times faster than by a machine.

WonderWash is safe for delicates, too.

So how much is 5 pounds worth of clothes?  It’s 10 t-shirts, 30 pairs of socks, or 2 pairs of jeans — the kind of stuff that needs a frequent wash and sometimes in a hurry.  It’s great for camping and RV trips, too.

WonderWash comes with a 1-year warranty and a 30-day, money-back policy.  It costs $42.95.

Now if you’re looking for that Clearwater Beach Condo to put it in…that’s where we can help!!

Sell Your Clearwater Home For 40% More, 17% Faster This Spring

Clearwater Florida Home Sellers are preparing for Spring Home Selling Season

Clearwater Florida - I was talking with my friend Gayle Wade who is a Clearwater  home stager and has been helping sellers in Pinellas County get there home ready to be sold in this “buyers real estate market” and realized this may be a topic our home sellers need to hear more about.

YouTube Preview Image

Super Bowl Weekend has ended and what a great game we had here in Tampa Florida - however it reminds me that this traditionally marks the start of the Spring Buying Season in real estate.  Anecdotally, Clearwater real estate agents will tell you that buyer activity tends to tick higher at this time of the year.

Meanwhile, with mortgage rates still trolling near all-time lows and Congress debating a first-time homebuyer tax credit, 2009 may bring out even more buyers than we’ve seen in the past.

Just having your Clearwater home on the market may not be enough to attract an offer, though — the house has to have appeal.  That brings us to home staging — the process by which a homeowner re-organizes and re-presents his home to appeal to as many potential buyers as possible.

Home staging is part-science, part-art, and part-psychology.  Clearwater Homebuyers tend to judge homes within the first 8 seconds of seeing them so making a quality first impression can mean the difference between getting multiple bids, and just getting a lot of foot traffic.

The 4-minute video gives some quick-and-easy tips, including:

Even though home inventories are falling, supplies are still higher than in previous years.  Home sellers wanting to stand out in a crowd may want to consider staging their homes to help them sell more quickly.

Staged homes sell for as much as 17% more money and as much as 40% faster than non-staged ones.Post

Clearwater Beach Florida -Sandpearl Condos

to gets some boat docks built on city of Clearwater owned land in the inlet just east

build boat docks on city-owned submerged land in the inlet shown in
this picture which is near the Clearwater Beach Recreation Center.

This
would be for boaters buying condominiums at the Sandpearl
Residences. The deal would allow the Sandpearl Resort to get 27 boat
docks while they would build 15 more for Public use.

Some local Clearwater Beach residents
say giving JMC Developer, Mike Cheezem, this priviledge for $5000 a year
is too much of a perk at the expense of local homeowners, Clearwater beach
residents and Clearwater taxpayers.

Dans Island Condos - Inside Clearwater Beach Real Estate Condos - Sand Key FL 33767

 

Clearwater
Beach
Florida - Recently I was showing Clearwater Beach Real Estate on exclusive Sand Key to a couple
looking to purchase their own piece of beach paradise.  They really liked much of
what Dans Island Condos, an upscale
luxury waterfront complex on our award winning beaches had to offer and I thought I would take
time to put the spotlight on Sand Key Condos in one of our best beach communities.

History of Sand Key and Dans Island Condo

Sand key FL Gulf of Mexico view from Dans Island Condos So whered the name ˜Dans Island come from? As history tells it Dans Island, the southern most oceanfront community on Sand
Key is named after the original settler of Sand Key island, a mariner named Dan
Anderson back in the early 1900s.

Back when Sand Key FL was
only accessible by boat be started a fishing camp and as locals learned about
this piece of paradise it was only a matter of time before it was developed -
in the 1920s the first bridge was built to Sand Key and the rest as they say
is history¦Sand Key is still just as popular today and Dans Island condos are the first condos youll see on the
beachside as you enter Sand Key from Belleair Beach.

Clearwater Beach Real Estate | Dans Island Condos

Dans Island Condos distinctive designs continue to offer residents
some of the most amazing views of the Gulf of Mexico and Clearwater Harbor
not to mention you get great water access for fishing, boating or just relaxing.

Close to many restaurants and shops and along the Jolley Trolley Route for easy access to Clearwater Beach and Island Estates.  

Dans Island I (Northern most Bldg) was built in 1986 and is
located at 1600 Gulf Blvd
Clearwater Beach Florida
33767 and is a 12
story buildings of 86 condo units on the Gulf of Mexico.
 

Dans Island II (Southern most Bldg)
was built in 1982. Dans Island II is located at 1660 Gulf Blvd Clearwater Beach
Florida 33767

Clearwater Florida Real Estate | Property Tax Portability - How to Calculate Your Benefit

Clearwater Florida Election Results are In - Real Estate a Big Winner!

Vote Yes on Florida Tax Amendment 1Clearwater Florida - Pinellas County is reporting a 37% voter turnout - which tops even the 2000 and 2004 Presidential Primaries.

Amendment 1 did pass so for many of my Clearwater Florida real estate clients looking to buy a second home or condo in the Clearwater or Tampa Bay area - theyll be happy to know that the 10% per year tax cap passed for all non-homestead owners Clearwater home owners!

Many of us think it should have been 5% but our thought is half a loaf is better than no loaf - especially in this Clearwater Florida real estate market! Were making progress and the journeys not over but I believe its moving in the right direction.

Ive included full detail how to calculate your new Save Our Homes Tax Equity and Portability. 

Pack your bags - Pinellas County Property Tax Portability Passes

We also have friends and neighbors who have wanted to move into a larger Clearwater home or downsize into a smaller one - all have been stuck in their home as our Florida Governor, Charlie Crist said today - now home owners are no longer ‘trapped in their home’.

Im happy those people can now make their personal decisions to benefit their own family and not be faced with having to pay a huge property tax penalty. I have shared with many of you that when Jack and I sold a beach house 3 years ago and bought one 1/2 as expensive our taxes doubled - so do the math that was a 4 times increase FOREVER - it was huge and Im glad others will not have the same experience we did! So what are some of the highlights of todays election results on a local level¦.

Calculating Florida Property Tax Portability Benefit

Step 1: Take a copy of your property tax record (its also available online) and find the two values:

See Related articles on how to calculate these items:

  • Clearwater Florida Home Buyers Guide to Pinellas Property Tax Values - Part 1

  • Clearwater Florida Real Estate Guide to What Your Property Taxes Will Be | Part 2

  • Step 2: Subtract the Just Market Value from Assessed Value to get your new ‘Tax Equity’

    Step 3: If it is more than $500,000 - then change the number or use the number $500,000 (this is the maximum currently allowed under the new amendment) Step 4: Determine your potential new homes assessed value If your new homes just market value is equal to or greater than your current home use this formula to find new assessed value:

    If your new homes market value is less than your current home then you must first calculate your prorated tax equity using this formula:

    Then calculate your new homes assessed value using this formula:
