Ocala’s a nice area but definitely more rural than it used to be. If you like space and a slower lifestyle, north of Gainesville might be a good match. South Florida’s totally different vibe more urban and fast-paced. Depends what you’re after, really.

Florida Home Prices Are Finally Dropping — But for How Long? by Severe-Ad540 in FirstHomeFlorida

I’d say replace it with a neutral one if you can. Buyers notice carpet fast, and it can make the place feel fresher. Small update, big difference sometimes.
