Home Selling Updates
As the competition among sellers is increasing, it is a good time to think about things you can do to maximize the value of your home from Florida Realtors.
We saw mortgage interest rates come back down a bit over the last 30 days. The recent change will save new borrowers over $17 per month for every $100,000 borrowed. Average U.S. rates for 30-year fixed rate mortgages were at 5.51% as of this week. Last month at this time, they were sitting at 5.78%.

For now, sellers still hold most of the cards in SFH transactions in Sarasota.
