What do you do to get your positive energy back? Bodysurfing in Treasure Island.

I had one of these days yesterday, trapped in the office all day long, 3 contracts falling apart, nobody returning my phone calls, appointments not showing up on time, every e mail I opened had more bad news............. you know what I mean. At about 4 pm I have had it and decided to call it a day and go home. As you can imagine, I was in a really bad mood and ready to bit someone's head off.  So, now what to do? How do you snap out of this mood? Go shopping? Get drunk? Walk on the beach? Complain to a good friend?  I remembered that I live in Treasure Island and that we have beautiful beaches and that I am going for a long and relaxing swim, this usually takes my mind off things and relaxes me. (But had a feeling that it just might not be enough today) On my way to the beach I realized that we have a hurricane in the Gulf and that the waves are probably too high to swim (I call this more bad news) Since I had just called a friend that lives right on the beach and told him that I was coming over, I went anyway. We got in the water and of course it was too rough to swim BUT the waves were beautiful and we body surfed. AWESOME this was exactly want I needed. 10 waves later and I felt like a new day had just started, all the energy was back, all the bad stuff was forgotten, I was ready to face the world again.

So, what do you do to get your energy back after a really bad day?

Beach Games are Back! Treasure Island

Oilspill Florida. Hands arcoss the sand.SOME OF US WILL BE BEHIND THE BILMAR IN TREASURE ISLAND. 

I was here some 15 years ago when we had the oil spill. Treasure Island and the other beach towns felt like ghost towns, all the tourists left within a day or two, I will never forget how sad it was to see all the dead birds and fish on the beach, businesses had to close down, restaurants were empty, black oil everywhere in the white sand. You could not walk on the beach anymore.................I hope I never have to see this again. There are lots of other ways to get energy. We are in Florida, the sunshine state for crying out loud EVERY HOME SHOULD HAVE SOLAR PANELS ON THE ROOF.

You've probably heard about ‘Hands Across the Sand' - an effort to raise awareness of efforts to drill for oil off our coast.  It is a coordinated effort throughout the entire state, with people lining up on the beaches to show opposition to drilling efforts.  Check out the details at www.handsacrossthesand.com.

There are groups organizing on all of our Gulf Beaches.  Just wanted to let you know that there will be a group out on Madeira Beach at 134^th Ave. and the official Madeira Beach group will be at Archibald Park, but hopefully the line will stretch between the two and beyond!  There will also be groups at Clearwater Beach/Pier 60, Upham Beach, TradeWinds Island Grand and TradeWinds Sandpiper Suites, Indian Rocks Beach, Ft. DeSoto Park - North Beach Bird Sanctuary, Belleair Beach - Morgan Street Access Park, Gulfport Casino, Lassing Park Beach - Tampa Bay, Pass-a-Grille, Redington Shores Beach Access County Park, St. Petersburg: Clam Bayou/Bermuda Bay, Treasure Island - St. Petersburg Municipal Beach and Tarpon Springs - Fred Howard Park.  Check out the website for more details!

Fish restaurants in Treasure Island, St. Pete Beach, Madeira beach and St. Pete.

Well, where do I go for dinner tonight? Our little beach towns have lot of places, something for every taste and every mood. Let' start with fish since we are surround by water. A really nice upscale fish restaurant is the "Mad Fish" on St. Pete Beach. Service and food are very good, perfect place for a nice date. I always recommend "PJ'S" on St. Pete beach for the everyday seafood dinner. I am in love with their Chicago oysters, they are absolutely wonderful.  Bonefish Grill on Tyrone Blvd. has a huge selection of fish and I would kill for their Bang Bang Shrimp. You can get "all you can eat" crab legs on Tuesday and Thursdays in Treasure Island at the R Bar. (Be there early otherwise they might be sold out)

To find Theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese best Lobster bisque you have to go to The Perl in Treasure Island. Their food is always great but the Lobster Bisque is out of this world.

 Are they really that ugly?  You decide.

Here is what happens when you go to an animal shelter and you tell yourself you just want to "look"

You end up with 2 new roommates and you feel so sorry for these little creatures that you spend the next few days at home trying to make them comfortable.  Since they are supposed to have immediate contact with the people that are always around them I invited my girlfriend to come over and meet them.

She walked in the door. Starred at my two precious cats and declared loud an d clear

Oh Anne, "they are sooooooooooooo ugly, they are cute again"

Are they really that ugly?  You decide.

SANDING Ovations in Treasure Island Tampabay (no typo)

Treasure Island is a very active little beach town here in Tampabay. Last weekend we had a big event, the Sanding Ovations, a sand sculpture contest with artist coming from all over the US to participate.

This was my favorite Sand Sculpture, just because it was actually a Sand Castle in the truest sense of the word.

I am originally from Germany and came to the US 17 years ago. In my first year I was amazed, surprised and sometimes confused about all the differences between the US and Europe. By now I have gotten used to it but every now and then I see something that triggers the thought  "Only in America" in this case Treasure Island

We had the annual Sand Sculptor contest last weekend and our normally just sandy beach here in Treasure Island turned into this festival site.

So, only in America will you find a portable ATM machine right on the beach in the sand.

How much should I pay for a condo in Sunset Vistas in Treasure Island Tampabay on Gulf Blvd.

You do not need to be a Realtor or an appraiser to find the right price for these condos. All it takes it common sense. All of the units are the same, same size, same year built, same color, same floors, same kitchen, same furniture same everything BUT the view.

There are 13 units in a row going all the way from the street to the beach angled so each unit has a view of the water. The building has five floors above parking. The units have 3 digit numbers the first number is the floor and the other two are the position on the floor. It starts with 1 at the street site and goes up to 13 which is closest to the beach.

So, right now unit units in Sunset Vista Treasure Island

408 is listed for $299,000

302 is listed for $306,000

403 is listed for $309,900

Now here we have unit 201 listed for $399,000. I hope the seller does not wonder why it has been on the market for 1132 days. This unit is on the lowest floor and the furthers from the beach.

 All this said, one last thing.   Don't just "stumble" into the Real Estate market, do your homework first, be prepared find a good Listing agent  or selling agent that knows Treasure Island, someone that does a lot of online advertising and marketing for a listing and comparative market analysis for a sale, check out his or her testimonials, "Google" the name.  

I hope I gave you a good answer to your question.  How much should I pay for a condo in Sunset Vistas in Treasure Island Tampabay on Gulf Blvd.

Selling/ listing my home or condo in Treasure Island, how do I find the right asking price?

The answer to that is very easy, have your Realtor (make sure it is a local real estate expert) do a comparable market analysis for you or get and official appraisal. (From an appraiser that knows the area well) Yes, that's how easy it is. No if's and but's, no guess work. Keep in mind we homeowners all think that our house or condo is so much NICER that the neighbors. Our children are so much smarter than the others and on we go. It is impossible for a home owner to be unbiased or objective about their own property. There are too many emotions involved and we simply cannot see a clear picture. Talking to your friends and neighors won't help either, they are not experts and they do not want to "hurt your feelings"

Keep in mind, in this kind of market is it more important than ever to ask the right price for your home or condo. If you are priced wrong, nobody will make an offer and you will sit on your listing forever.

I am a Realtor in Treasure Island and also a homeowner in Treasure Island, if I want to know what I could sell my home for, I would ask one of my fellow Realtor here in Treasure Island. I can do the comparable market analysis for ever home or condo in Treasure Island BUT for my own. I simply can't see it objectively.
