Election Day Humor

11.02.15 by

I received this in my email the other day and thought it would be a good one to share with everyone just before election day:

While walking down the street one day a Corrupt Senator (that may be redundant) was tragically hit by a car and died.
His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.

“Welcome to heaven,” says St.. Peter.. “Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we’re not sure what to do with you..”

“No problem, just let me in,” says the Senator.

“Well, I’d like to, but I have orders from the higher ups. What we’ll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity.”

“Really?, I’ve made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,” says the Senator.

“I’m sorry, but we have our rules.”

And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.

The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course.

In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.

Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people.

They played a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and the finest wines and champagne.

Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who is having a good time dancing and telling jokes.

They are all having such a good time that before the Senator realizes it, it is time to go.

Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises.

The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens in heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him, “Now it’s time to visit heaven…”

So, 24 hours passed with the Senator joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.

“Well, then, you’ve spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose
your eternity.”

The Senator reflects for a minute, then he answers: “Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell.”

So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to
hell…

Now the doors of the elevator open and he’s in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage.

He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls to the ground.

The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulders.

“I don’t understand,” stammers the Senator. “Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there’s just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?”

The devil smiles at him and says,

“Yesterday we were campaigning,

Today, you voted..”

Vote wisely tomorrow!!

Palm Beach County September 2015 Market Report

“Although the number of Palm Beach County home sales increased only 1% for August, we are back to a double-digit gain for September with 13% year-over-year. However, this market indicator may dip slightly for October if a substantial number of closings are delayed due to recent closing procedure changes which affect borrowers. We recommend that borrowers work closely with their lenders and title companies, who are well-prepared for these changes, to prevent potential closing delays. For more information about these changes, a helpful infographic can be downloaded from www.SouthFloridaPropertyMatch.com,” said Matt Halperin, 2015 President of the Realtors® Association of the Palm Beaches (RAPB).

“Since the beginning of the year, St. Lucie County has consecutively experienced double-digit increases in median sale price of single family homes when compared to the same time period in the previous year, and September reflected an increase of 15.3%. While investors may be shying away from purchasing single family homes, both sellers and end users are still benefiting from the significant boost in our current market indicators. If you are in the market looking to buy or sell your home, I suggest speaking with a local REALTOR® from the REALTORS® of St. Lucie County (RSLC), a division of the Realtors® Association of the Palm Beaches (RAPB), for real insight on the homeownership process.

Martin County September 2015 Market Report

“Florida Realtors® reports a remarkable jump in Martin County’s average home price for the month of September to $437,996, up 40% from the previous year.  This surge in pricing can be attributed to the incredible increase in the number of properties that sold for over a million dollars; there were 14 to be exact, which is a 366% increase year-over-year. While our overall pace of sales remained typical for this time of year, our median days on market decreased 43%, leaving us with only a 4.5 months’ supply of inventory.  Prospective buyers and sellers may ask, will these trends continue?  Only time will tell, but snowfall has already been recorded up North, and local REALTORS® agree that nothing could be more beneficial to Martin County real estate sales than another brutal, northern winter.  So, if you’re buying or selling, be sure to enlist one of your local real estate professionals,” said John Slivon, Treasurer of the Realtors® Association of the Palm Beaches (RAPB).

September 2015 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Single Family Homes had weker sales volume when compared to last year.  Closed sales were off by 4.3% (in August they were down by 5.3%) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 16.2% (they were down by 12.2% last month).

Both median and average sales prices continue their gains with increases of 15.3% and 15.6% respectively from last September (For August these numbers were 13.5% and 9.7%).  These increases in prices can be a bit of a warning sign as prices seem to be rising much faster than some can afford.

September 2015 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes

The September 2015 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes showed a second month of continued weakness when compared to last year for volume of sales.  Year to year closed sales were down by .5% (was down 8% in August). New pending sales decreased by 6.6% as compared to September of 2014 (decreased by 2.4% in August).

The median sales price was up by 7.1% from last year (up by 9.6% in August) while the average price increased by 40.5% (was up by 10% last month).  The lack of inventory is driving down the volume of sales while at the same time exerting tremendous upwards pressure on prices..

The inventory of available single family homes increased from last month by 54 homes to 1057 units this month, and this is still a 14% decrease from last September.  Current supply of homes is 4.5 months, for August of this year it was a 4.3 months supply. (This is a 24.7% decrease from last year). The Martin County single family real estate market remains a strong sellers market.  We are approaching our slower selling season for the upcoming holidays.  I am hoping to see the sales volume start increasing again as we seem to be slowly having some additional inventory additions.
