🏡 Limited Housing Inventory: Now's the Time to Sell! 🏡 The housing market continues to face a major challenge: a shortage of homes for sale compared to the high demand from buyers. Let's take a closer look at the latest data on active listings and understand the impact of this limited housing inventory. According to a recent report from Realtor.com, in June, active inventory was on average 50.6% below the pre-pandemic levels of 2017-2019. The graph below clearly illustrates the significant gap between current inventory and the normal market levels (see graph). Why is this important for you? If you've been considering selling your house, now is an excellent time to do so. With fewer choices available to buyers, your home will stand out in the market. This low inventory situation is reflected in key statistics from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) Confidence Index: 74% of homes sold in less than a month. Median days on the market reduced to just 18 days, indicating fast sales for well-priced homes. The average number of offers on recently sold homes increased to 3.3 offers. In a market with limited supply, your house will attract attention, sell faster, and potentially receive multiple offers. If you've contemplated selling, don't miss this opportunity. Let's connect and get the process started.
🏡 Embrace the Opportunities: Secure Your Dream Home 🏡 Great news for homebuyers! While mortgage rates have risen, it's time to seize the opportunities available in today's market. Although rates won't return to the historic lows of the past, experts forecast a gradual decline in rates over the next year. Fannie Mae, the Mortgage Bankers Association, and the National Association of Realtors all predict a moderate decrease in mortgage rates through early 2024. While rates may not drop dramatically, they still offer favorable financing options for your dream home. Plus, there's more good news! Take advantage of Live Local's down payment assistance programs, designed to help you achieve homeownership with ease. These programs provide financial support to eligible buyers, making your dream home even more attainable. Don't wait for rates to plummet – act now and establish a budget that aligns with the current market conditions. I'm here to guide you every step of the way on your homeownership journey. Reach out to discuss your specific needs and start making your dream a reality!

Family night out with @yournefar and @realmls1 Friends, family baseball🥰⚾️🍔🍺
Tonight I had the pleasure of attending a fundraiser for First Coast No More Homeless Pets, where Kate Atema from Petsmart Charities was the guest speaker. The event was a great opportunity to learn more about the incredible work of the organization, which offers essential veterinary care and employment training for young adults interested in becoming veterinary technicians. @fcnmhp operates a full-service veterinary hospital that offers affordable services to pets in need, including spay/neuter surgeries, wellness exams, and vaccinations. This is particularly important for low-income families who may not be able to afford traditional veterinary care. Additionally, their employment training program provides hands-on experience for young adults in the community who are interested in pursuing a career in veterinary medicine. Overall, it was an honor to support such a noble cause and to hear from such an inspiring guest speaker. I left the event feeling incredibly grateful for the hard work and dedication of the First Coast No More Homeless Pets team and excited about the positive impact they are making in the lives of both animals and people in our community.

I'm here at the annual “Rally in Tally” event which gives REALTORS a chance to share their opinions one-on-one with state legislators about issues related to the real estate industry.

If you’ve been a guest at one or a few weddings this year, you know it can cost a pretty penny to celebrate the happy couple. It’s no secret that hosting your own wedding requires its own financial planning, but just attending a nuptial ceremony — not to mention pre-ceremony festivities — is cutting into personal budgets. In fact, 46% of millennials and 48% of Gen Z say spending on friends’ and family members’ weddings, baby showers or other celebrations is getting in the way of their personal goals, according to a recent survey from Prudential. A few factors outside of their control may be making it harder for young people to keep their finances on track, but many of these consumers could be doing more to avoid stressing about money. Do you think social events are getting the way of your own financial goals?

NAR Finds Share of First-Time Home Buyers Smaller, Older Than Ever Before • At just 26%, the share of first-time buyers was the lowest since NAR began tracking the data. The typical first-time buyer was 36 years old – an all-time high. • The median distance between the home that recent buyers purchased and the home from which they moved was 50 miles – a record high and more than a three-fold jump from a median of 15 miles from 2018 through 2021. The shares of homes purchased in small towns (29%) and rural areas (19%) were all-time highs. • Nearly nine in 10 buyers (86%) and sellers (87%) purchased or sold a home using a real estate agent or broker.
Budgeting for a home purchase doesn’t have to be scary. 🦇 While every situation is different, your potential buyers need to know about the common misconception that putting 20% down towards their purchase is required. Saving for a home isn't as scary as it may seem.

👀🏠If you are planning to buy a home in Florida during Hurricane Season (June 1st to November 30th), there is one very important thing you should remember. If a hurricane gets close to Florida (actually it does not have to be very close- view picture), and it reaches the “box”, you will not be able to secure homeowner’s insurance on your future house. Even if the hurricane’s path is nowhere near the city where you are purchasing, you are out of luck. And unfortunately this most likely won’t be a “one day” setback. One of the hardest hit industries as it relates to tropical cyclones is the insurance industry. Take for example Hurricane Michael which made landfall as a category five storm in 2018. When Hurricane Michael made landfall in the Florida panhandle it had sustained winds of 160-mph, caused over 25-billion in property damage and claimed the lives of over 70-people. The insurance industry had to come up with a way to help mitigate their loss from property owners who were waiting until a storm had formed and was on the way to get insurance. Their solution was the “no bind” box. Whenever a tropical storm or hurricane watch or warning is issued within the no-bind box (indicated by the red line in the map below), the state’s Citizens Property Insurance Corporation will not accept any applications for new coverage or any endorsements for increased coverage, regardless of the effective date. Most private insurance companies also follow the same policy, however, there are some that make exceptions. With homeowners insurance being required for the vast majority of financed real estate closings, it is important to secure your new home insurance as soon as you have an executed contract. So be prepared, secure your insurance as soon as possible...and be safe.
👀💰The main purpose of assuming the seller’s loan is to obtain an interest rate below the prevailing market rate. So if mortgage rates increase rapidly in a short period of time, it could be in the best interest of the buyer to see if they can assume the seller’s mortgage.📈🏡
👀🏡 Investors preparing for the sale of a property held for business or investment purposes should consider a 1031 exchange. Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code allows real estate investors to defer costly capital gains and recapture taxes by reinvesting in like-kind real estate. Utilized properly, 1031 exchanges provide investors with substantial tax savings that allow them to shelter the growth of their wealth and keep more of their money working for them. 📈💰

👀⛈️Operation Blue Roof is a priority mission managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The purpose of Operation Blue Roof is to provide homeowners and permanently occupied rental properties in disaster areas with fiber-reinforced sheeting to cover their damaged roofs until arrangements can be made for permanent repairs. This is a free service to homeowners. Operation Blue Roof protects property, reduces temporary housing costs, and allows residents to remain in their homes while recovering from the storm. #jacksonvillerealestate #jacksonvillerealtor #realestateagent #realtorlife #househunting #dreamhome #luxuryrealestate #newhome #hometownheroes #realestateinvesting #luxuryhomes #realestateinvestor #homesforsale #justlisted #tarabraithwaite #blackpreneur #blackentrepreneur #shoplocal #womeninbusiness #womensupportingwomen #entrepreneurlife #girlboss #bossbabe #supportblackbusiness #supportsmallbusiness #bosslady #904 #flygirltravel #jacksonville #florida

iBuyer Opendoor Reports Losses as Markets Shift When home prices were rising, the iBuyer made “easy profits,” but some think its losses now – 42% of its Aug. sales – mirror Zillow’s failed iBuying venture. Home-flipper and iBuyer Opendoor Technologies lost money on 42% of its transactions in August, with especially hard losses in key markets like Los Angeles and Phoenix, according to YipitData reports. Opendoor has already warned investors that it expected to lose up to $175 million in adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization in the third quarter. Opendoor’s losses closely mirror the pricing problems that ended Zillow Offers, Zillow Group’s iBuying business, last year, according to Mike DelPrete at the University of Colorado Boulder. Although this attrition may not doom the company, DelPrete speculates that September’s numbers may be even worse. Opendoor racked up easy profits when home prices were soaring earlier in the year, before diminished affordability and high mortgage rates shut out would-be buyers. By June, median home prices had started falling in some areas, especially in Sun Belt markets. This forced Opendoor to offload thousands of properties it had agreed to buy when prices were increasing. The company elected to honor the offers, telling investors in August that the decision was an investment in the company’s brand. Opendoor will eventually finish selling through the inventory acquired before the market changed, giving it an opportunity to stem its losses and resume profitable home sales.

👀🏠Are you planning to sell or buy a home in Jacksonville or the surrounding counties? We offer a Local Hero Rewards rebate program!🏠👀 Our Local Hero Rewards is a realtor rebate program for all who protect and serve our community and country. Heroes include military service members, EMS personnel, teachers, law enforcement, firefighters and healthcare workers.
$12.1 million has been granted to help homebuyers since the Hometown Heroes housing assistance program launched on June 1. The Hometown Heroes housing program – passed this year by the Florida Legislature and backed by Florida Realtors® – provided $100 million to the Florida Housing Finance Corporation (Florida Housing) to help the state’s hometown heroes buy a home. A number of occupations qualify for aid, such as law enforcement officers, educators, healthcare professionals, and active military or veterans who are purchasing their first home in Florida. To date, the $12.1 million has helped 843 families throughout the state. The Hometown Heroes program provides Florida’s frontline community workers in more than 100 eligible professions with down payment and closing cost assistance to help purchase a primary residence in the communities where they work. Eligible homebuyers will receive up to 5% of their first mortgage loan amount (up to a maximum of $25,000) in down payment and closing cost assistance in the form of a 0%, non-amortizing, 30-year deferred second mortgage. To qualify for the program, homebuyers must connect with one of Florida Housing’s participating loan officers, have a minimum credit score of 640, provide certification for one of the eligible occupations, and meet the income threshold for their county.

House payment affordability is a daunting challenge for many more home shoppers. Fixed-rate mortgages have increased. Bidding wars are largely over. Buyers have stopped begging to be the chosen ones. More homes are lingering on the market for several weeks, instead of selling in hours, minutes, or seconds.

👀🏠Florida Realtors will back a proposed state constitutional amendment that gives front-line workers, such as police and teachers, a property tax break.📈🏠 Florida Realtors® announced it would support a proposed constitutional amendment – HJR 1/SJR 1746, reinforcing its commitment to make housing more affordable for some of Florida’s most dedicated workers. The proposed constitutional amendment grants an additional homestead exemption for teachers, firefighters, law enforcement officers and other Floridians who have selflessly helped the state’s residents throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. If approved by the Florida Legislature, the measure would go on the general election ballot as a proposed constitutional amendment. “For decades, Florida Realtors and its more than 225,000 members have been vocal advocates for affordable housing,” says Florida Realtors President Christina Pappas. In light of escalating housing costs, Florida Realtors has also supported the creation of a Florida Hometown Hero Housing Program (SB 788). If approved by the Florida Legislature and signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, it would offer zero-interest loans and help with down payments and closing costs for essential professions including nurses, firefighters, teachers and law enforcement. Pappas commended Florida House and Senate leadership for proposing HJR 1/SJR 1746, which would help many hometown heroes who already own a home. “HJR 1/SJR 1746 and SB 788 pair perfectly together and make a compelling statement to the men and women who serve our state, our communities and our country that we support them. We want to make sure they have a chance of achieving the American dream of homeownership,” says Pappas. HJR 1, sponsored by Rep. Josie Tomkow and the Ways & Means Committee, and SJR 1746, sponsored by Sen. Jason Brodeur and the Finance and Tax Committee, would increase the homestead exemption on non-school levies for property owned by teachers, law enforcement officers, correctional officers, firefighters, child welfare services professionals, active-duty members of the U.S. military and members of the Florida National Guard.
