News

The big news is that prices are moving up slightly in some markets, especially in Florida. 

This is a possible indication that expectancies of sales momentum this summer are high.   We have been adjusting prices but have not had time to do them all.  This is not intended to be hype but we are alerting you to the facts we have recently noted for your information.

This is not for all markets so consult with local Realtors of the area you are interested in and for advice.  Also check with communities for the most recent pricing.

We have reviews ...

Low interest rates and prices continue ... Can you believe the prices you are seeing; combined with still low interest rates, it may be a good time to go look.  You might see something you can't resist.

Read our blog for tips on the latest.

Florida, Nevada, California and Arizona are "on sale" now and home prices are lower since 2006.  

Update: The NAR reports statistics monthly. They recently reported the market has improved over a year ago.  

Please consult with Realtors how this relates to the local market you are interested in and for advice.   

Overlapping Searches Overlapping occurs when your search fits more than one category.  This happens a lot so please check more than one category to find what you are looking for. For instance, mobile homes can be found in the mobile home, RV and manufactured categories as well as state categories.

We have a lot to view for just one visit--we hope you'll Bookmark us so you'll come back for more as our site constantly changes.
