Mortgage rates are still high today — a 30-year loan is right around 7%. That’s a little better than yesterday, but buying still costs more each month than it did a year ago.

In Tarpon Springs, home values have eased a bit and houses are sitting longer. Buyers have more room to look around and negotiate than they did last year.
If you’re thinking about buying or selling, now is a good time to compare lenders and see what’s actually on the market.
