as inventory has grown. The side effect? Price cuts are on the rise, but
they really don’t have to be. Here’s why.

First impressions matter, especially in real estate. It’s particularly
crucial in spring, which is considered the busiest selling period in many
housing markets. Many potential buyers start looking for homes, and your

online, you want them to be excited by what they see, so your home’s
exterior needs to look as welcoming and inviting as possible.

mortgage rates were up and down like a rollercoaster. All of that made it
really hard to find a home you loved – and could afford.

Florida’s real estate market is a goldmine for investors—but only if you

fierce, and pitfalls like overpaying or missing due diligence can cost you
dearly.
