Here in Hernando County, especially in the Spring Hill and Brooksville areas, the increase in home buying power is very amazing. Compared to last year, the average family can spend much less in lending expense for the same house, or purchase a bigger home without the need in increasing their monthly mortgage. For homebuyers who've been waiting and have stable jobs, the housing market has never looked more favorable. For the homeowner this type of market has always meant instant benefits over renting and long-term value, but the opportunities in today's market are unsurpassed.
