Flordia has been voted the #1 most desirable state to live in across the U.S. The Harris Poll discovered citizens are most attracted to Florida's sunshine and waterfront acerage. Have you made the plunge?

According to CNN Money, 2016 may be the best year for you to buy a home. Analysts are predicting that home prices will stabilize - it's time to jump on that property you've been wanting. Available inventory is very low, making great properties few and far between. Analysts expect potential sellers to take advantage of that and list their properties in hopes of a quick sale. Mortgage rates are expected to increase - get that loan secured now before they do. Rents are on the rise and owning is becoming more of an advantage.

For market updates and all the available properties, please sign up for my email updates. Just drop me a line at SanibelBeachProperty@gmail.com and let me know you'd like to join - or let me know what specific, custom info you're looking for. Sincerely, Teresa Baker
