WHAT'S SELLING AT THE BLUFFS                                                  October 2016       VOL 70
Pool or No Pool
Will adding a pool or hot tub increase my home's value?
This is one I wrestle with a lot since most communities in our area have a community pool available to residents.  It can be an asset or a liability; it depends on the buyer.  A pool/spa is a luxury item.  Along with all the fun and excitement people get from swimming in their own pool, it can be costly to a homeowner.  They are a big responsibility and require continual upkeep consuming both time and money.  Keep in mind that potential buyers are in various stages of their lives and a large percentage of buyers are only here a few months out of the year.  To some, a pool/spa could be a responsibility and financial drain they simply do not want.  To others, it may be a requirement to find a home with a pool and/or spa.  The most important thing to consider before you commit to this type of home improvement, is how much it will bring to your personal enjoyment.  Such improvement is likely to add value and ambiance to your home; however, in some cases it could take a little more time to find the right buyer. 
I hope you enjoy receiving my report, there is a monthly email version of this report available, just email me at  [email protected]  to be put on the list.  If you have any questions about the sold or listed properties here at the Bluffs or surrounding communities, please don't hesitate to contact us at 561-373-9653.

LEGAL CORNER with ANDREW PINEIRO, Esq.
Cioffi Logo
As a buyer of real estate in Florida, there are several pitfalls that can affect the outcome of your purchase transaction.  The top 4 snares that arise in my practice are:

1. Contract execution.  It seems so simple, yet, we come across countless disputes regarding when a contract is signed, what needs to be initialed, what happens when the contract is signed but changes are made simultaneously, what happens if a party omits signing a disclosure, and what happens if changes are not initialed by the other party.  While these issues may seem minor, they are often the basis for unwinding a transaction.

2. Contingencies.  There are several contingencies that can be included in the contract, including financing, inspections, due diligence, attorney review, sale of existing home, etc.  Some are straight forward; others are complex with several moving parts.  Financing contingencies can have built in closing date extensions if the lender needs additional time.  Know when to use a contingency to protect yourself and know your rights when a contingency exists.

3. Deadlines.  One of the contract forms frequently used in many Florida real estate transactions is the "As Is" Residential Contract For Sale And Purchase approved by the Florida Association of Realtors and the Florida Bar.  This contract contains numerous deadlines pertaining to things like deposits, financing, inspections, title evidence, title defects, and closing.  A missed deadline could mean you are waiving certain rights, or worse, it could mean you are in breach of contract.

4. Inspections.  The typical As Is Contract allows you to perform an inspection and cancel the contract for any reason within the inspection period.  Other contracts contain an intricate procedure for dealing with inspections and repairs that include time lines for inspections and taking curative actions.  Failure to follow the terms of your contract with regard to inspection time lines could mean that your inspection rights, curative rights, or rights to cancel the contract are waived.

These are just a few of the complexities that we regularly deal with in our residential real estate practice.  When it comes to one of the largest investments a person can make, it is always recommended to have a real estate attorney on your side.
