Today is sort of an odd affair.  We have been asked to evacuate certain areas of Palm Beach due to Tropical Storm Noel and yet we still put on our costumes and celebrate Halloween.  How odd to spend the day looking towards the sky through a mask.  So much like real estate, I have to blink.

The current property tax cession of the Florida Legislature closes tonight and Florida's legislature took full use of the daylight today.  The Florida Senate voted to approve a trimmed down compromise of the property tax relief package promised to be delivered this cession.  Hallelujah!  Finally something is done.  Or is it?

Fort Lauderdale loves to celebrate any holiday and Halloween is no exception.  There are all kinds of Halloween activities to participate in this week and next.  But do you really want to decorate your home with ghouls and goblins when you are trying to sell it?  Who says you can't decorate your home for the current holiday season, Halloween, just because you have it on the market?  We have talked about staging your home for the season to invite someone into your home.  Having some decorations out and placed strategically keeps your home current and up to date.  The trick is the season.

california_wildfires.jpgWith all the news coming out of California, we, on the East Coast are very grateful for a (so far) easy hurricane season.  Natural disasters are so hard to imagine much less live through.  Having to evacuate from your home while smelling fire must be horrifying.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to Southern California.  Thousands of homes have been lost to fire so far and the dollar amount of damage, I am sure, will be in the millions. 

Hundreds of thousands of Californians were evacuated to safer places such as Qualcomm Stadium.  I was pleased to see that there was law and order unlike Hurricane Katrina.  I was also encouraged to hear today that some of the evacuees have been allowed to return to their homes.  I am sure that homes and lives will be rebuilt soon enough.  I just hope that you will continue to remember our fellow Americans out there and do what you can to help. 

Here are some ways you can help them:

So keep plugging forward, California, and know that we are with you in whatever we can do for you.

TAlk to you later,

Christine

I have a confession to make.  This post has NOTHING to do with real estate.  Every once in a while I will give you a little taste of life outside Fort Lauderdale real estate and I hope you like it.  I just love trying to figure out whether all those emails ar etrue or not.  I just don't have the time.  But sometimes one catches my eye and I am interested in spending the time.  With all the media hype about MRSA and washing your hands, I found the recent story of a 4 year old little girl to be enlightening.
