Mid-October is shaping up to be the best time of year to buy a home — especially in Florida’s Citrus, Marion, and Levy Counties. According to Realtor.com, buyers can expect more listings, fewer competing offers, and potential savings of up to $15,000 from now through the Fall. With mortgage rates dipping near 6.23% and inventory on the rise, local markets are cooling and shifting in buyers’ favor. Don’t wait — now through the holidays offers the perfect balance of selection, pricing, and negotiation power.
