Kitchen Update Ideas for Nokomis FL

Some homes in Nokomis FL and the surrounding areas have small kitchens.  I'm working with an investor who is in the midst of a flip of a small home and I shared this idea with him.

Ideas for your Venice FL real estate flip
A white kitchen maximizes space with elevated breakfast bar
This picture comes to us via propertynews.com, a UK real estate website.  Our friends across the pond have lots of properties with small spaces, and this is a fine example of how to maximize space in a small kitchen.

I've been writing about using white in small spaces and this again shows why.  The elevated breakfast bar is a fantastic idea that is inexpensive and unexpected.  This would be what I call "a differentiator" for a property investor that wants to create a memorable space and minimize cost.

Nokomis FL Real Estate Update

How's the Nokomis FL real estate market doing?


Nokomis FL


I compared the last three months of sales for single family homes in Nokomis, versus the previous three months.  Here's the results:


Units sold:  Last 3 months 80,  Previous 3 months 26
Median sales price: Last 3 months $270,000  Previous 3 months $266,500
Median sold $/sq. ft.:  Last 3 months $156,  Previous 3 months $144
Median days on market:  Last 3 months 47,  Previous 3 months 78

The market in Nokomis was very active this past season and I expect the trend to continue.  We get a secondary buying season in the late spring and summer, when seasonal visitors who were here to look at real estate come back to make a purchase decision.

I'll be adding more specific Nokomis FL real estate sales data for individual neighborhoods in later posts.
