You have probably seen the headlines. Inventory is up. Another crash is coming. Here's what those headlines leave out: inventory is up from COVID levels, where practically nothing was available. Compare today to 2019, before the pandemic distorted everything, and we are basically back to a normal market.
I'll keep this one short because the timing actually matters. Every year, Realtor.com analyzes housing data going back years to identify the single best week to list a home. The week where buyer demand peaks, competition from other sellers is still low, and prices come in strongest.
The headlines have not been great. But this is. Right now, new construction is one of the most interesting opportunities I have seen in years here in Palm Beach County. Builders need to move inventory. When that happens, they get aggressive. I am seeing: * Rate buy downs * Closing costs covered
Deal of the Week Price: $2.1M The Property • Waterfront property with direct ocean access • 100 feet of waterfront • No fixed bridges • Priced at land value The Location • Gardens waterfront location • Strong demand with limited inventory • Surrounded by higher end homes • New construction sales in the mid $6M range Why
The Palm Beach Boat Show is coming up next week. I have already sold three boat slips this year, and all of those buyers were thinking about the same thing, having dockage lined up before boat season really gets going. Most people do not realize that many marinas have long

In my last five buyer transactions, three were completed off market. No MLS. No public listing. No competition frenzy. Just direct outreach and negotiated deals. If you are only seeing what is online, you are seeing what everyone else sees. Serious buyers know that inventory can be created. If you
Mortgage rates finally moving down. People are securing 30-year mortgages with 5 handles. In Jupiter, even a half-point shift changes buying power fast. A buyer shopping at $900,000 can suddenly stretch higher without increasing their monthly comfort level. That expands the pool competing for well-priced homes. Inventory across Palm
Lately the phrase “housing affordability crisis” gets thrown around constantly. And it is real. Prices rose quickly. Rates jumped. Buyers feel squeezed. But here is the real question. How do we ease the crisis without crashing prices and wiping out homeowner equity? Recently, Dave Ramsey proposed an idea I actually
One recent Forbes headline caught my attention. Even wealthy buyers are having trouble finding the homes they want. It is not always a demand issue. In many cases, it is that the homes never hit the market publicly. A growing share of luxury properties are selling off-market. No MLS exposure.
Good morning, This is not a typo. Right now, there are seven homes in Jupiter listed for more than $30 million. Ten years ago, this number would have sounded absurd. Today, it exists because sellers believe buyers are out there, and they are not wrong. Every one of these homes
If you have watched two similar Jupiter homes sell at very different prices, this is usually why. One feels finished. The other feels like work. Buyers are not overpaying.
