Right now in Central Florida we’re seeing an extremely hot market for sellers. But what exactly does this mean? 
 
As you might have guessed, there are a lot of benefits. 
 
First of all, this kind of market means that sellers have the ability to price aggressively. This all comes down to supply and demand, and demand is at an all-time high. 
 
Sellers right now are able to price up to 20% over market value because of how few homes are available. In fact, supply continues to decrease to the two months we’re seeing now. 
 
Obviously, pricing will also be affected by the appraised value; however, this kind of situation is still hugely beneficial.

What are closing costs and who pays them?
Closing costs are fees associated with the closing of a real estate transaction. Closing is when the title gets transferred from a seller to a buyer, and closing costs are incurred by both the buyer and the seller.
As a buyer, you will be responsible for loan origination fees, title transfer fees, documentation stamps, surveys, tax stamps on your mortgage, and title service charges. Things like taxes, insurance, and HOA prorations are known as pre-paid.

What can you expect during a home inspection? Let's run through them briefly.
To start, remember that there are several types of inspections: a general home inspection, a wood-destroying organism inspection, and a four-point and wind mitigation inspection to name a few. None are required by you as a buyer or a seller, but they're highly recommended.
Today, we'll focus on the general inspection.

You're not required to be there during the inspection, but it is a good idea. You can ask any questions or voice any concerns you have about the home.
