It's a great time to buy real estate in the Florida Keys. Never try to time the bottom or top of a financial market. It is clear there are great opportunities to be had over the next 6 months and even over the next two to three years. This market correction creates great opportunity for building wealth over the next 5 to 10 years. |

What is Appraised Value?
It’s an objective opinion of value, but it’s not an exact science so appraisals may differ.
For buying and selling purposes, appraisals are usually based on market value—what the property could probably be sold for. Other types of value include insurance value, replacement value, and assessed value for property tax purposes.
Appraised value is not a constant number. Changes in market conditions can dramatically alter appraised value.
Appraised value doesn’t consider special considerations, like the need to sell rapidly.
Lenders usually use either the appraised value or the sale price, whichever is less, to determine the amount of the mortgage they will offer.
