The expansion of The Villages, Florida continues with the developer purchasing 3,200 acres of land adjacent to Leesburg, Florida.  The area is just east of the new Middleton area of The Villages which is home to the family section of The Villages.  The land is bordered by The Florida Turnpike, County Road 470 and State Road 48 in Lake County.  The 5 squares miles will be developed into residential homes and amenities as The Villages footprint in Central Florida continues to grow.  I entered driving direction into my map and from the northern most point of The Villages to the new land purchased the drive by car would be 25 miles.  From 466a in the Wildwood area of The Villages it is 21 miles.  With The Villages building about 4,000 homes a year it won’t take long to fill the new area!  T...

The housing market continues to shift and change, and in a fast-moving landscape like we’re in right now, it’s more important than ever to have a trusted real estate agent on your side. Whether you’re buying your first home or selling once again, it’s mission critical to work with an expert who can guide you through each unique step of the process. The reality is, not all agents operate the same way. To truly make a powerful and confident decision as you buy or sell a home, you need a real estate expert who uses their knowledge of what’s really happening with home prices, housing supply, industry projections, and more to give you the best possible advice. Someone who can provide clarity and trust like that is essential to your success. Jay Thompson, Real Estate Industry Consultant, expl...

We deserved a break, and we got one. After avg. 30-yr mortgage rates rose to nearly 7.5% last week, they've quickly dropped back to near 7% on economic data that evidenced a slowing economy and dovish ('we've done enough') comments from existing and past Federal Reserve presidents.The NAR’s July pending sales index rose 0.9% MoM to 77.6. That was a positive surprise, as most people (me included) expected a decline given the prevailing mortgage rates (high) and inventory (low) during the month. But before we get too excited, know this: the index has declined MoM 13 times in the last 18 months, and an index level of 77.6 suggests transaction activity on par with 2008.

I know taxes aren't the most thrilling topic—trust me, I feel you. But if you're in the game to make money (and who isn't?), you can't afford to ignore the tax-saving opportunities that real estate offers. Depreciation is Your FriendFirst off, let's talk depreciation. When you own property, you can write off its value over time, even while it's likely appreciating in actual value. That’s like the financial universe giving you a high-five! Just consult with your tax advisor to ensure you're doing it right.1031 Exchange to Keep RollingDone flipping a property and eyeing the next one? Look into a 1031 exchange. This gem lets you defer capital gains tax when you reinvest in a similar property. It's like recycling your investment without the IRS taking a cut!Mortgage Interest Deduction You'r...
