Check with your accountant ALWAYS but HOA fees may be a tax deductible.

Are HOA fees tax-deductible? A CPA explains when you can write them off and when you can't. Because honestly, it just depends.

Under Contract (like, *blink-and-you-miss-it*) 😄🏡💨

This one went under contract so fast I barely had time to post about it — **48 hours and DONE!** What a whirlwind 🤪✨
So excited for my seller *and* for the amazing buyer who’s ready to move into her new home 🥰🔑

With so many homes on the market, the real question is…
👉 **What is your agent doing to make your home stand out?**

Ask us how we help homes sell faster.
Yes, we’ve got tricks 😉📈🏠

Owners of single family homes are in a weak seller’s market-just about a balanced market. Sellers with villas are experiencing a buyer’s market, as it shifted downward for seller's further into a buyer’s market last month. Investors: continue to look at condos. There are many deals to be had. **Remember, consult a pro!** This is a BROAD view of the Venice market and all markets should be evaluated on a micro level.
