Melbourne, Florida is happening right now! Buyers are raining on the available inventory like a big spring shower. Beware: these buyers are armed with sharp pencils instead of umbrellas! Everybody is looking for the best deal - heck, aren’t we all? The April 30th tax credit deadline is two weeks away and it’s just too good to pass up. Sellers: make sure your home is show-ready!!!Lots of excitement and anticipation out there for both buyers and sellers. Play nice and keep a cool head. An overly aggressive style usually bombs out during negotiations. This is a good rule for both sides (1 comments)

Today's buyers are navigating difficult waters. Faced with tremendous inventory, lower prices, great interest rates, and willing sellers, buyers are overwhelmed. The moon and stars are beautifully aligned for them and yet it's not enough. Today's only priority is getting a "great deal" or "stealing it". What happened to the "location location" rule?
