The new year offers great opportunities to start with a fresh outlook and setting new goals and resolutions. Does your plan for 2016 include real estate objectives for a new home or maybe investment property?

The market is rapidly increasing across Florida, including our local Emerald Coast real estate market that spans the coast from Pensacola to Panama City Beach in the Panhandle.  Mortgage rates along with property prices are expected to rise making now the time to buy! For renters considering purchasing a new home, there are estimated penalties to waiting even a year that almost triples when applied to three year projection. Many times you will save money monthly owning verses renting your home and will be investing in your future, instead of just paying into someone else’s property.
