The new mall at University Town Center

Sarasota residents have wanted a new mall for a while. While certainly not the only one in the area, The Mall at University Town Center in Sarasota is a delightful blend of high end retailers and mall favorites.

Among those businesses included are Godiva, Teavana, Tesla Motors, Crate & Barrel, Tommy Bahama, Brio, and Saks Fifth Avenue. Now that construction is complete and the doors are open, people are filing in in droves. Multiple stores expended the majority of their inventory the first day and were forced to expedite the shipping of more products.

Traffic has been slowed while masses rush to the area. Should you decide to patronize the various shops and restaurants, plan accordingly. Your Sarasota Movers are eager to visit too, but we’ll try to leave you a parking spot.

Your Sarasota moving specialists are elated to find out that the housing market is booming in Sarasota and surrounding areas. The housing situation is now looking more like a sellers’ market and prices are beginning to slowly climb. In Sarasota there has been a 2% increase in houses sold this month, and an 18% increase from this time last year. Sales prices have deflated, but it is believed that the prices will slowly begin to climb up and the housing market will go back to normal. Developers are watching the current housing market, waiting for the opportune time to start building more housing. Remember to contact your Sarasota movers during this housing market boom!

Your Sarasota movers predict that many families will be moving to the Lakeland Florida area. A combination of super-low home pricing and a rapidly-improving local job market make Lakeland a much-sought-after destination for families on the move in Florida. The recently-opened Legoland theme park brought roughly 1,000 jobs to the area, and a soon-to-open water park will add even more openings to the Lakeland job market. Families looking to relocate in Florida will surely find the cost of living appealing; with the current trend in housing costs, a Lakeland family can realistically purchase a nice home with monthly payments of less-than $400!

Your Sarasota professional movers are stunned by the recent actions of Tiger Woods’ former wife, Elin Nordegren. Woods’ ex-wife recently had a beautiful $12 million home built in North Palm Beach, which was subsequently demolished at her request as she just didn’t like the mansion enough to move in! Granted, following her 2010 divorce from Tiger Woods, Nordegren did receive a $100 million settlement, people everywhere are still scratching their heads over Elin Nordegren’s rash decision to destroy such a handsome Florida home. The six-bedroom eight-bathroom would-be residence of Woods’ ex is now nothing more than a pile of debris amid otherwise gorgeous beach-front property. It is possible that there may be some international moving needs in Nordegren’s future as speculation is reverberating and suggests she’ll likely relocate to her home town in Stockholm Sweden. Relocation needs often come following divorce, as well as the exchange of malicious words or actions between former-spouses. Your Sarasota movers here wish the best to both Woods and Nordegren, but can’t deny how entertaining her $100 million settlement is making their divorce to the public eye!

Of all the heavy energy users in your home driving up your electric bill, you may be surprised to know that your thermostat is likely the biggest offender of all. Your Sarasota mover is looking forward to a revolutionary new thermostat that is currently in production which learns from its ‘roommates,’ if you will, to provide the most efficient temperature control possible. Every time you move the wheel to adjust this smart little thermostat, it is compiling statistics which it uses to learn about your cooling and heating habits. It doesn’t take long after moving into your house for this little guy to be a maintenance-free fixture in your home that saves you serious money on your electric bill. Your Sarasota mover’s favorite feature is the ability users have to move its control wheel while away using his or her smart phone! Away on vacation and forgot to set the thermostat? No problem with the Nest learning thermostat!

For Biotech buffs in Sarasota, an innovative local company by the name of Rapid Pathogen Screening Inc. will be adding 164 new jobs to the local market within the next five years. RPS is a biotech company which specializes in advanced medical technology among other things. The company’s ‘instant test’ kits are revolutionary as they are able to test for an array of health conditions instantly without having to be sent away to the lab.

As Rapid Pathogen Screening Inc. continues to grow, they will likely require moving services as the company forecasts the need for a 35,000-square-foot facility within the next five years as well. This would absolutely dwarf their now 3.300-square-foot headquarters. Your movers in Sarasota here hope RPS knows that there is no move too big for us! Sarasota is excited to see the new biotech jobs arrive!

Smart people on the move prepare for the big day by streamlining everything in the household for a quick transition once the relocation specialists arrive. Accumulating packed boxes and other easy-to-move household items and furniture makes for a quick truck loading process once your Sarasota movers are on the job. Preparing for your move in this manner helps save money by making your movers’ job easier and thus faster. It is smart to prepare a quick and simple job for your moving company, but have you ever wondered how nice it would be if money weren’t an object and you could hire your local movers to provide a full-service move? With the busy life that they live, full-service movers are a must for celebrities; in most cases though, the costs involved in a full-service relocation are manageable and worth the expense for celebs on the move.

Moving a grand piano is a thought that many piano movers rarely have to consider –if ever. However; moving to a new home requires piano owners to move their prized instruments which can be a daunting thought. The fear in itself is sensible, but what are piano owners on the move really afraid of?

There is a slew of advantages that comes along with living in an apartment. Any rental property for that matter is rather convenient for anybody not yet ready for the long term commitment of buying and owning a house. If you live in a particularly upstanding complex, you never have to worry about calling a plumber, or an A/C repair man; an always on-call maintenance staff makes life very easy even when apartment issues do arise. Living in an apartment even enables you to “try out” different regions as leases end and the time to move in to a new apartment comes. Furthermore; given the state of the housing market, renters who plan to buy their next home are in an especially advantageous position that won’t likely last forever.
