I promise you, this video does NOT do this house justice! Every detail of this home was breathtaking. The primary bathroom with the free standing tub, rain shower and entire outdoor oasis attached was probably my favorite feature of this home, with the backyard coming in as a close second with a pool, golf area, fire pit and dream outdoor kitchen. If you are considering a luxury build in the Sarasota area, John Cannon Homes is a definitely a builder you want to add to your list. 🤩🤩🤩

🛍️ Tampa Bay Market Bucket List 🛍️
Have you been to all 8? 👀

One of my favorite things about living in the Tampa Bay area is all of the local markets happening throughout the week and on the weekends. They're a great way to shop small, grab a bite to eat, and find unique items you won't see in big box stores. Some of them even have live music, and did I mention they're free? 😉

I put together a Tampa Bay Market Bucket List featuring 8 local markets that are worth checking out. Whether you're looking for fresh produce, handmade goods, food trucks, or just something fun to do, there's a market on this list for you.

Which ones have you been to already? And which one are you adding to your weekend plans?

Save this post so you have it handy when you're looking for something to do, and send it to a friend who loves shopping local! 🛍️

🏡 Buying your first home is exciting... but it’s easy to make costly mistakes if you don’t know what to watch out for.

Here are 5 common first-time buyer mistakes to avoid:

✅ Skipping pre-approval- Know your budget before you shop.
✅ Forgetting extra costs- Plan for closing costs, inspection, moving and monthly expenses.
✅ Skipping the home inspection- Hidden issues equal costly surprises.
✅ Ignoring the importance of location- Check commute, neighborhood and noise.
✅ Making big purchases before closing- new debt can delay your loan and increase your debt to income ratio which can cause loan denial.

The good news? Every one of these mistakes is completely avoidable with the right guidance.

If you're thinking about buying your first home in the Tampa Bay area, I'd be happy to help you navigate the process and make sure you're set up for success from day one.
