🏡 We've been talking about it. Now it's official. Amendment 3 PASSED. So what happens next?

Florida voters approved Amendment 3 on November 3, bringing changes to how homesteaded properties will be taxed.

But here's what homeowners and future buyers need to understand: the changes won't affect everyone the same way.

Your home's assessed value, your homestead status, and even when you establish Florida residency could make a difference.

And if you're thinking about buying or selling a home, there are some important details worth understanding before making your next move.

We've followed this proposal from the beginning, through the changes in the numbers, and now its passage. The next question is what it means for YOU.

Curious about the details? Let's talk it through!

🎸 Referrals are the heartbeat of my business, and I’m so grateful for the people who keep the music playing! 💛

This past weekend, I hosted my Annual Rockstar Party, one of my favorite traditions and a special way to say THANK YOU to the people who continually help my real estate business grow through their referrals!

These wonderful friends and clients who, year after year, share my name, recommend me to people they know, and trust me to take great care of those they send my way. That kind of ongoing support means the world to me, and I never take it for granted!

🎶 The Rockstar Party is a fun way to celebrate these special relationships and show my appreciation for the incredible role their continued referrals play in my business.

One of the greatest blessings of what I do is the relationships I've built along the way. Whether we've worked together, stayed in touch, sent someone my way, or simply cheered me on, please know how much I appreciate you. There are so many people who have contributed to my journey, and I'm thankful for all of you! ❤️

🎤 A special thank-you to our generous sponsors who helped make this year's celebration possible!

⭐ Scott Proctor with America’s Money Source

⭐ Susan Harrington and Monica Milbrath with Two Rivers Title

To my Rockstar crew, thank you for the friendships, the trust, and for continuing to think of me when someone needs real estate help. You truly keep my business rocking! 🎸💛

🏡 Florida homeowners, property taxes are back in the conversation!

On November 3, Florida voters will have a say in a proposed constitutional amendment that could change how homesteaded properties are taxed.

And if you've heard about this proposal before, take another look! The numbers have changed.

The updated proposal would increase the homestead exemption for non-school property taxes to $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028 for qualifying existing Florida residents.

That could be a meaningful change for homeowners, buyers, and sellers across the state.

Of course, like most things in real estate, how it could affect you depends on your specific situation.

If you have questions about what this proposal could mean for you, I’m happy to help you talk through it!

Which brings me to one very important question...

WHO NEEDS A NEW YARD SIGN? 👀

Not one, but TWO closings this week! 🏡🏡 🔑

Winter Springs AND Oviedo!

Two closings. Two Central Florida markets. One very busy REALTOR®! 🎉

Knowing the market isn't just about knowing what's for sale. It's about understanding neighborhoods, recognizing opportunities, negotiating smart and knowing how to get to the closing table.

And this week? TWO buyer closings in the books!

Winter Springs? ✅
Oviedo? ✅

Who's next? 👀

If you're thinking about buying a home in Seminole County or the surrounding Central Florida area, let's make your next move happen!

Buying a home in Oviedo, Winter Springs or anywhere in Seminole County?

One number I never want my buyers to simply copy from the listing is the current property tax bill.

When a Florida home sells, the seller's Homestead Exemption and Save Our Homes assessment benefit do not simply transfer to the buyer. The property is reassessed for the following year, which means your tax bill may look very different from the seller's.

Already own a Florida homestead? Portability may allow you to transfer some of your Save Our Homes benefit to your next Florida home.

And there is another reason to pay attention right now. Florida voters will see Amendment 3 on the November ballot. If approved, it would change homestead exemption rules beginning in 2027, including how the increased exemption applies to some new Florida residents.

Property taxes are part of the real cost of buying a home. Before you make an offer, know your numbers.

CLOSED in Oviedo! 🏡🔑

Some closings are ch*****ne and selfies.

Some are 30 years of memories, a ticking clock…and an all hands on deck finish. ❤️

5695 Pond Pine Point was that one.

Packing. Donations. Cleanup. Lawn. Pool. Trash. One last cleaning before closing morning.

And when it mattered, my incredible crew showed up and GOT. IT. DONE. 🙌

That’s the part of real estate you don’t always see…having the right people ready to jump in when a seller needs more than a sign in the yard.

Everything came together just in time, and the buyers got the keys to their beautiful new home. 🔑✨

Closed. On time. Mission accomplished.

SOLD in Mims! 🌴

LOOKING FOR LAND? I GOT YOU. 🙌

Seven acres, room to roam, agricultural zoning, a big workshop and plenty of space to actually use your property.

And now this one is officially SOLD. 🎉

A lot of buyers sleep on Mims. Big mistake. 👀

This is where you can still find real acreage, room for horses, space for a serious workshop, and enough land to spread out without feeling like your neighbor is in your backyard.

If “more land, fewer neighbors” sounds like your kind of move, I got you.

This one feels extra good. 🏡💛

Baby #2 is on the way, and these buyers were looking for more than just a house. They wanted the right place for their next chapter. We found it!

And they CHOSE OVIEDO. 🙌

Now they’re officially UNDER CONTRACT on a this pool home in Bentley Woods, with 2,682 square feet and a big cul de sac lot.

This is the part I love.

Helping buyers figure out not just what they want in a home, but where they want to build their life. And when Oviedo is on the list, having someone who truly knows the area makes all the difference.

Another Oviedo buyer under contract. Another exciting chapter getting started. 🏡🔑👶

Thinking about buying in Oviedo?
Call me, Karen Ripperger, to help you find the right fit.
