The easiest way to become an official
Florida resident is to file a declaration of domicile. Declaring Florida
Domicile is a "question of intent". The courts have ruled that your heart is
where your treasure lies. Many households have more than one residence,
sometimes more than two, so the matter of "intent" is very important. The fact
that one has lived in Florida continuously for six months is not always
true.
The Declaration of Domicile which states
that you reside at a given address, is notarized and filed with the County
Clerk of the Circuit Court of residence. No time constraint is required before
one can legally be declared a resident.

Sarasota County Clerk of Circuit Court
2000 Main Street Sarasota, FL.

Pricing >The Asking Price
Picture this...
Your house has been on the market for four weeks. There have been a lot of showings but no offers, so you are wondering if you should consider a price reduction. You want to get as much as you can for your home, but more importantly you want it to sell!
This may be the time to have a frank discussion with your real estate agent. While price may be a major factor, it may not be the only consideration. Are you making your house easy for agents to show? Have you completed the necessary maintenance and cleaning so that your property is as appealing as possible? Review with your agent the current market conditions and the prices of other homes in your neighborhood before determining that a price reduction is in order.
Even though your price may be competitive, the marketplace may be telling you that buyers just won't pay what you would like to get. If all indicators point to a price reduction, it is better to do it sooner rather than later.
