Looking for Student Housing?

Tallahassee has great homes near Florida State University for sale and ready to occupy for the fall of 2011! Tired of looking at rentals? Rental prices are at a premium and time is running out for the arrival of the students to Tallahassee, FL.

I spent the last week looking for homes for families that prefer detached single family homes for their FSU students. Students often want larger spaces than apartments, dorms or rooming houses. Some students desire homes in quiet Tallahassee neighborhoods surrounding Tallahassee’s college town, midtown or even downtown areas. Roommates are fairly easy to find around the campus of Florida State University as students prepare for their arrival. Many have rooming plans that did not quite work out during enrollment, and there is a need for students to acquire housing. Roommate ads can be found on FSU’s student blackboards and posted around campus billboards.

Currently… here is a list of 101 homes for sale between $80,000 and $120,000 near FSU in Tallahassee. These are 32301, 32302, and 32303 zip codes. Want to search more specifically? Want to narrow your search by bedrooms, baths, neighborhoods, price and more?

Option 1

Let’s go FHA, 3.5% Down

3.5% down and a payment of $900 month

3 kids, $350/month Rent

Being a Realtor in the Tallahassee, FL area, a photography amateur, a live=long resident and history buff, I’ve always had a fascination for gates. Especially old gates. Tallahassee dates back to the Spanish settler days, could that be where the trend to have stone walls, and gated entrances originated? I’m not sure and should probably do a little digging to find out. None-the-less, I am still intrigued by gates, fences, at least the unique ones.

I’ve decided to post a few of these pictures I’ve been collecting along the way in “The Gates of Tallahassee Series.”

One of the first ones I wanted to post was in Los Robles. An historic community in the heart of Tallahassee. The very name sounds old, and it means “The Oaks.” One drive through there, and you will see those stately oaks and the historic homes carefully placed under their century year old branches. This gate impressed me, not for it’s size, it looked to be a mere 5′ tall at best, but because of the archways, the peep hole and iron hinges on the wooden slat door. It certainly fits the Spanish influenced neighborhood of Los Robles.

Not All Million Dollar homes are alike!

When I heard of the price tag on Osama BinLaden’s home or hideout, whichever it was, I was grateful for the safe, secure and beautiful locations and designs of million dollar home in the United States!

Housing prices are at a 40 year lows, there’s a pretty good chance you will get much more for your money right here in the wonderful ole’ USA!  Tallahassee has gorgeous luxury homes, many with designer features, showing like model homes straight from a showcase floor. None that I know of have mattresses scattered on concrete floors with rubbish and week old food lying around.

Yards of most million dollar homes in Tallahassee, FL are well planned and professionally landscaped, void of any concrete walls and burning trash  piles.  While some of these million dollar homes are in gated communities, none that I am aware of, are surrounded by armed guards.

Best of all, most of these million dollar homes were built with love, and house families who enjoy the freedoms of enjoyment and the ability to move back and forth, in and around the community of  Tallahassee, Florida without fear for their safety. Tallahassee citizens are thankful to the armed forces that protect our country, for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom, for the local civil service employees who protect our city, and to be a part of the pride of it’s citizens.

So, Which do you prefer?

Today’s the first day in about 6 weeks that I have not held an open house in Tallahassee. Partly it’s because I’m procrastinating and need to work on my taxes before the drop-deal deadline tomorrow, and partly because I needed a break. As I am preparing for next weekend’s open houses, I had a few thoughts to share on them. Preparing for open houses is time consuming and expensive. With the internet, the success of live bodies in open houses is not what it used to be.

How does your Realtor prepare for an open house? 

Realtors have had to get very creative in promoting open houses. Traditional means of signs and flyers are just not enough in today’s world. Postcards and print advertising are expensive and less productive than ever. Realtors have largely turned to the  Internet to reach more people and to exposure your listing to many more people than ever before. Conversations generated around social media postings, special events are proving to bring buyers to homes and to cause people to inquire about homes than ever before. Because people do search for homes on the Internet, why not offer them every opportunity to find out about your open house on the Internet as well. Advance notice of live virtual tours during open houses are helpful. Signs are also certainly helpful, and placing them out a few days in advance to generate local passer-bys. (IF your community allows that!) (more…)
