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?

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.

airline.jpgI love to see people come and visit my fair city of Fort Lauderdale.  I love it even more when you decide to stay and I can help you find a new home to relocate to.  But how do you get here?  The Sun-Sentinel had a great article on Sunday about the best and worst airlines to South Florida.  Here are the results:

I love unique homes.  I thought I would share that enjoyment with you and show you some of the most unusual homes I can find.  Most of these homes will not be located in my beautiful Fort Lauderdale, but you will enjoy them none the less.

unusual_1.jpgThe first home I have for you reminds me of a beautiful castle that would be made of tile.  The turret looks like so much fun.  I just imagine walking up to the front door and falling down the rabbit hole from "Alice in Wonderland". 

 

 

 

 

 

unusual_home_2.jpgThe second home I have for you is another fable found in the woods.  This Hansel and Gretyl Cottage home looks like a fairy tale come to life.  The home is located in Olalla, WAshington, and was sold for around $360,000.

 

 

 

unusual_home_3.jpgThe third home reminds me that you shouldn't necessarily keep people from enjoying the beach.  The house, designed by Michael Jantzen in 1997, was to avoid blocking the view of the Pacific Ocean by putting TV screens on the front of hte home to reflect a sceen from the ocean.

 

 

 

Hope you liked the homes I chose today.  Let me know and we will show more unusual architecture next week.

Talk to you later,
Christine
