 WHY BUYING A HOME MAKES MORE SENSE THAN RENTING Wondering if you should continue renting or if you should buy a home this year? If so, consider this. Rental affordability is still a challenge and has been for years. That’s because, historically, rents trend up over time. Data from the Census shows rents have been climbing pretty steadily since 1988. And, data from the latest rental report from Realtor.com shows rents continue to grow today, even though it’s at a slower pace than we saw at the height of the pandemic: Click Here To Read and Share Bottom Line "There Is A Realtor For That" Buying or Selling while living on the Gulf Coast  Sign up for our Monthly Real Estate Newsletter We are Ambassadors for all things Pensacola, Pace, or Gulf Breeze, Florida whether a first-time guest or ...

By Dawn M. Smith 14) It's not a process everyone wants to try, but a For Sale By Owner can cut down on some fees of selling a home. For sellers with plenty of time to clean, stage, and market their property, an FSBO could save you money that you’d spend on a listing agent.   If you consider an FSBO, check out our free ebook, For Sale By Owner: Is It an Option for You?   15) It's possible to negotiate with your real estate agent for a lower commission rate, but you should bring up the subject early in the relationship and document the rate in your contract with the agent.    16) Discount brokers offer their services for lower percentages, but won’t provide the full-service experience that a standard real estate agent provides.   17) Most title, escrow, and settlement agencies set their ...

Inspections and Seller Credits By Dawn M. Smith  7) Most buyers require a home inspection before closing on a home. If an inspection report comes back with issues, the buyer and seller must negotiate terms to correct the problems. Several solutions exist. The owners could reduce the sale price or make the improvements or corrections themselves. Home sellers must come through with the negotiated plans to complete the closing process.    Learn more: Why You Need a Home Inspection.   8) During the home inspection negotiations, the buyers have the right to ask for specific certifications to ensure the health of the house. This includes the condition of the roof, termites, and/or sewer inspection. Certificates of proof are due at closing.     9) As the seller, you’re likely mandated by your...

The Supreme Court unanimously sided with Sarasota County Property Appraiser Bill Furst, who in 2014 investigated whether Rod Rebholz should have been receiving a homestead exemption on what was described as a single-family home. Furst determined that 15% of the property was not entitled to a homestead exemption because it was being rented to a tenant. That resulted in Rebholz facing $7,000 in back taxes, penalties and interest for the tax years 2004 through 2013.

There have been a lot of shifts in the housing market recently. Mortgage rates rose dramatically last year, impacting many people’s home-buying ability. And after several years of rapid price appreciation, home prices finally peaked the previous summer. These changes led to a rise in headlines saying prices would end up crashing.

  Getting out of debt can be hard. I know; I’ve been there. When my husband and I got married, I came to the wedding with a car loan, student loans, and a handful of nearly-maxed-out credit cards. That debt that had been a nuisance as a single person suddenly felt like a huge weight now that we were “grown-ups.” Since I’d quit my job to move with my husband, I had time to make paying off debt my highest priority. Here’s how I did it. 1) Know Where You Stand The first step is to know what debt you have. You can’t get somewhere without knowing where you are now. Get a piece of paper and write down every debt. Figure out the balance, the interest rate, and the scheduled or minimum payment each month. This part can be a little scary or sad. Try not to get caught up in the emotions. This is...

SARASOTA, Fla. – When Dan Graue read a letter from the Sarasota County Property Appraiser that notified him he had been dodging taxes on his homesteaded property and now owed more than $64,000 in fines and back taxes, he thought there must have been an error. He and his wife, Jennifer, had owned the house off Bahia Vista Avenue since 1995, after purchasing the home from Jennifer’s family, which had owned the property since the 1950s. They quickly learned the property appraiser meant business. Florida’s homestead...
