floridarealtors.org/news-med… private mortgage insurance (PMI)? You may want to check whether you still need it. Fannie Mae is expanding efforts to notify homeowners who may qualify to have PMI removed—potentially lowering their monthly payment.

🏡 Asking Price vs. Market Value—What’s the Difference?
A home’s asking price is the amount the seller chooses to advertise. Market value is what a qualified buyer is willing to pay under current market conditions.
They are not always the same.
Market value is influenced by:
• Recent comparable sales
• Location and neighborhood demand
• Condition, updates and roof age
• Insurance costs and flood exposure
• Available competition
• Financing and appraisal considerations
A seller can ask any price, but buyers ultimately compare the home with other choices in the market. If the asking price is too high, the property may sit longer and require reductions. If it is positioned correctly, it has a better chance of attracting serious buyers early.
The best pricing strategy combines recent sales with current competition and today’s buyer behavior—not simply what a seller hopes to receive.
Thinking about selling in Seminole or Pinellas County? I can prepare a local market analysis to help you understand where your home may realistically compete.

To those fleeing Texas Democrats that say that they are saving democracy in Texas and the United States relative to congressional redistricting, here are the facts:
MA: 36% Republican, 0 seats
CT: 42% Republican, 0 seats
ME: 46% Republican, 0 seats
NM: 46% Republican, 0 seats
NH: 48% Republican, 0 seats
RI: 42% Republican, 0 seats
VT: 32% Republican, 0 seats
HI: 38% Republican, 0 seats
DE: 42% Republican, 0 seats
Also, as to some of the blue states that were benevolent enough to give us a smidgen:
CA: 38% Republican, only 9 of 52 seats (20.9%)
IL: 44% Republican, only 3 of 17 seats (17.6%)
NY: 43% Republican, only 7 of 26 seats (26.9%)
MD: 34% Republican, only 1 of 8 seats (12.5%)
NJ: 46% Republican, only 3 of 12 seats (25%)
OR: 41% Republican, only 1 of 6 seats (16.7%)
Why is it that if Republicans do redistricting, it’s a threat to democracy. Yet, if Democrats do redistricting, it’s democracy itself.

INVESTIGATE THIS THEFT.
Jennifer Granholm was in charge of the Dept. of Energy under Biden. She shoveled out $93,000,000,000 in her last 76 days in office in the form of
"loans" to "green" businesses that weren't vetted and didn't file a business plan.
That's 3 times their annual budget gone
in 76 days.
More than twice what was spent for the last fifteen years!
