Denise Kemp+FollowFlorida Home Prices: Time to Bargain Hunt?Heard the latest? Florida homebuilder Pat Neal just hit billionaire status, but even he says the local housing market is cooling off. With home prices dipping and builders offering sweet deals (think free upgrades and mortgage help), it might be a prime time to snag a house—especially if you’re a first-time buyer or looking for a deal. Neal’s even switching up building materials to dodge tariff headaches. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to buy, this could be it! #FloridaRealEstate #HomeBuyingTips #MarketTrends #MoneyHacks #RealEstate00Share
Joseph Livingston+FollowBig Ad Merger Means Less Choice, Lower Yields?Heads up: Two ad giants, Omnicom and InterPublic, are merging, shrinking the Big 4 to the Big 3. If you’re holding IPG for those sweet dividends, brace yourself—your payout might drop. This is classic "when companies join forces, consumers and investors get fewer options." We’ve seen it with phone companies, now it’s ad agencies. Expect more of these shakeups, so double-check your investments if you rely on steady income. Mergers can mean more change (and less comfort) ahead! #MoneyMoves #DividendWatch #MarketTrends #AdIndustry #Mergers #Finance00Share
Matthew Jackson+FollowShould You Write a 'Love Letter' to Sellers?Thinking about writing a sweet note to win over a home seller? Turns out, those heartfelt letters might not help—and could even backfire. Some sellers just want the best deal, not your life story. Plus, these letters can get tricky with fair housing rules. Instead, focus on having your finances in order, get pre-approved, and ask your agent what perks (like flexible move-out dates) might seal the deal. The market’s cooling a bit, so you’ve got more room to negotiate! #HomeBuyingTips #RealEstate #MoneyHacks #HouseHunting #MarketTrends10Share

The board says he’s not just waiting in the wings—he’s actually leading now. With all the market drama (hello, new tariffs and Apple stock dips), Berkshire’s sitting on a mountain of cash, ready for whatever comes next. Basically, they’re treating cash like a safety net, not just spare change. If you’re worried about market swings, maybe it’s time to think about your own rainy day fund! #BerkshireHathaway #Buffett #GregAbel #Investing #MoneyMoves #MarketTrends #Business70Share
Denise Kemp+FollowMore Homes, Same High Prices: What Gives?If you’ve been house hunting, here’s some good news: there are more homes on the market now than at any point since the pandemic started. That means less fighting over listings and a bit more wiggle room to negotiate. But don’t get too excited—prices are still sky-high, and you’ll need a hefty paycheck to afford the average place. Sellers are starting to budge on price, but rising mortgage rates could slow things down again. Anyone else feeling the squeeze? #HousingMarket #RealEstate #HomeBuying #MoneyTalks #MarketTrends40Share
Aaron Ballard+FollowIs It Finally Easier to Afford a Home?Good news for anyone house-hunting: for the first time in over a decade, paychecks are growing faster than home prices. That means your income might finally be catching up to those sky-high listings—especially if you’re shopping in places like Denver or Orlando, where prices are actually dropping. The catch? Many buyers are still waiting on the sidelines, hoping for even better deals. If you’re ready to jump in, this could be your moment—just keep an eye on those mortgage rates! #HomeBuying #RealEstate #MoneyTips #MarketTrends70Share
davenportmeghan+Follow5 Home Features That Sell Like HotcakesThinking about selling your house?

Buyers want homes they can settle into right away—no fixer-uppers, please! The big shift? Energy-saving gadgets and dedicated workspaces are now must-haves, not just nice-to-haves. If your place checks these boxes, you could be looking at a quick sale (and maybe a bidding war). #RealEstateTips #HomeSelling #MarketTrends #MoneyHacks #HomeImprovement #RealEstate457Share
