MY VENICE FL REAL ESTATE BLOG

Starting your real estate search? Most people will use a search engine and look for "venice florida real estate" or some version of that. There's another option.. Search for your current neighborhood or condo, and see who comes up. Chances are, you'll find me in the results and my website, www.davidbarrhomes.com Wouldn't you rather have a local experienced agent instead of someone who paid a big real estate website for exposure and relies on the same AI everyone else is usi

I've been saying for a while that real estate isn't getting any easier, and here's the latest example of this. Home buyers are "ghosting" offers and contracts. What does this mean?

I've been a Realtor in FL for 23 years and one of the most frequent questions I get is "Where would you live?" if you had a choice. Follow my blog for my new "Where would you live?" series if you're interested in Sarasota, Venice, or Nokomis FL real estate. I look forward to sharing my opinions. Remember, I'm writing this series based more on emotion than on BR/BA and square footage. I'd start by adding Aldea Mar in Venice FL to my "want to live there" list, especially the

As the old saying goes, and as I've mentioned in several previous posts and in my social media, all real estate is local. A good example of that is the small neighborhoods in Venice FL. These upscale neighborhoods in Venice are close to Venice Beach, but vary greatly in sold median sales price for single family homes.
