Should I Remodel my Home or Buy a Home already Remodeled?

Mon, Oct 23rd 2023 10:59 am by David Shippey Winter Haven News

Should I remodel my current home or buy one that’s fully updated instead?

That’s a great question! And the answer is… that depends. Keep reading to learn more.

The first thing that people usually consider is the price tag. On the surface, a remodel sounds more affordable than purchasing a new home. My advice - think through your needs and write them down. What you see may surprise you!

For example, if your list includes additions such as a pool, an extra bedroom, or a garage extension, does your current piece of property allow for that type of expansion? If you have the space on your current lot to accommodate it, a remodel may be the right option for you. If adequate space is NOT available...

I want to buy a home. But the interest rates make my payments higher than I want to spend.

Mon, Oct 9th 2023 11:54 am by David Shippey Winter Haven News

It is true. Interest rates are no longer under 3%. They are typically over 7% now. If you have a good memory, you will remember rates over 13% in years gone by. I hope we do not hit those interest rates again.

There are several options to consider as you look to buy a home to offset the higher interest rates today. The first one that comes to mind is to ask the seller to buy down your interest rate. This can be accomplished by asking them to pay $5,000 to $10,000 towards lowering your interest rate instead of reducing their purchase price. Check with your lender to confirm. I think you will find that buying your interest rate will reduce your monthly payment more than reducing the purcha...

Have you received an Insurance Letter from Citizens?

Tue, Oct 3rd 2023 9:47 am by David Shippey Winter Haven News

Have you received an Insurance Letter from Citizens?

Over the last few weeks, Citizens Insurance has sent out 300,000 letters to some of their customers offering private insurance as an alternative to continuing with Citizens Insurance. Citizens is considered Florida’s Insurer of Last Resort. This effort is to reduce the number of policy holders by Citizens.

If the private insurance offered is within 20% of Citizens and you do not contact Citizens by 10/10, you will be switched to the new insurance provider. Citizens will not renew your policy. If it is more than 20%, you can decline the new insurance and remain with Citizens. If you have not shopped homeowner’s insurance in a year or t...
