The housing market has never been hotter. Prices are going through the roof– with no end in sight. Home values in the United States have increased by 17% to a median price of $329,000.

And almost 330,000 people moved to Florida from other states during the past year. if you’re a realtor, it can be a windfall. Are you taking advantage of it?
