Filing for Florida Homestead in 2019... 

The TIMELY Filing Deadline is Approaching! 

The timely filing period for Homestead Exemption for 
2019 is March 2, 2018 through March 1, 2019. The absolute deadline to 
LATE FILE 

 for any 2019 exemption -- if you miss the March 1 timely filing deadline -- is September 18, 2019. State law (Sec. 196.011(8), Fla. Stat.) does not allow late filing for exemptions after this date, regardless of any good cause reason for missing the late filing deadline.


All legal Florida residents are eligible for a Homestead Exemption on their homes, condominiums, co-op apartments, and certain mobile home lots if they qualify. The Florida Constitution provides this tax-saving exemption on the first and third $25,000 of the assessed value of an owner/occupied residence. While a complicated formula is used to explain this -- as the additional $25,000 only applies to the non-schools portion of your tax bill. Read More

Importance of Pricing your home correctly from the Start



Importance of Pricing your home correctly from the Start

When a home first come on the market, is when agents and buyers are most enthusiastic to find out what the home has to offer. Therefore, it is very important to price the home correctly. A home that is priced at market value or below will receive multiple showings and hopefully several offers. In a buyer's market, a home that is over-priced will sit until a price reduction takes place. (Buyers' market is more than six months of inventory based on closed sales. Sellers' market is less than three months of inventory based on closed sales.) In a seller's market, when inventory is low, properties may be priced over market and sold at a higher value, However, other condition and factors may apply.)

Achieving the Best Price for the Sale of Your Home




A Tip in Achieving the Best Price for the Sale of Your Home
All homeowners want to make sure they realize the Best Price when selling their
home. But how do you guarantee that you obtain maximum value for your house? Here is
a tip to insure you get the highest price possible:

Price it a LITTLE LOW
This may seem counter intuitive. However, just look at this concept for a moment. Many
homeowners think that pricing their home a little OVER market value will leave them room for negotiation. In actuality, this just dramatically lessens the demand for the house.


Instead of the seller trying to ‘win’ the negotiation with one buyer, they should price it so
demand for the home is maximized. Hence, the seller will not be fighting with a buyer
over the price but instead will have multiple buyers fighting with each other over the house.
realtor.com, has given this advice: “Aim to price your property at or just slightly below the going rate. Today’s buyers are highly informed, so if they sense they’re getting a deal, they’re likely to bid up a property that’s slightly underpriced, especially in areas with low inventory.”
