  • Happy Halloween

    Halloween falls on October 31 because the ancient Gaelic festival of Samhain, considered the earliest known root of Halloween, occurred on this day.
    In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to praise all saints.
    Soon, All Saints' Day incorporated some traditions of Samhain and the evening before was known as All Hallows Eve, and later Halloween.
    Over time, Halloween evolved into a day of activities like trick-or-treating, carving jack-o-lanterns, festive gatherings, donning costumes and eating treats.
    Today’s the day to eat candies and sweets to your heart’s content! Happy Halloween!

  • When Florida Buyers Are Most Active

    Florida’s real estate rhythm is truly its own—something I quickly learned after trading Lake Michigan winters for endless sunshine along the Treasure Coast. Unlike the four-season markets I worked in up north, Florida’s buyer activity is shaped less by school schedules and more by our distinctive blend of weather, tourism, and the ever-changing flow of seasonal residents. Typically, demand ramps up from late fall through mid-spring, with the busiest months peaking between mid-winter and early spring. It’s during this stretch that showings multiply and homes often move quickly.

    As early summer approaches and hurricane forecasts start making headlines, buyer traffic usually slows. Sellers with flexibility might find it worthwhile to list before things quiet down or wait for demand to pick back up. It’s also worth noting that timing in Florida is about more than just dates on a calendar—retiree buyers, insurance quote deadlines, and school calendars can all tip the balance when it comes to pricing and negotiations. While late fall through early spring tends to bring the most eager buyers, I’ve found that a well-presented, well-priced Florida home can find the right match any time of year. In real estate, timing can shift the odds, but there’s always a path to a successful sale in our market.

  • Florida Home Prices Hold Steady

    In Q3 2026, Florida existing sales stayed steady: single-family closings ↑0.2% yearly to 65.9K, while condo-townhouse closings ↑3.1% to 22.7K statewide overall.
    Across Florida in Late-Q3, single-family closed sales reached 20.5K, ↓3.5% yearly, while condo-townhouse closings were 7.2K, essentially flat at ↓0.1% statewide overall.
    Prices stayed relatively steady in Q3: single-family median reached $420K, ↑2.4% yearly, while condo-townhouse median held at $295K; supply measured 4.4 mo and 7.7 mo.
    Market activity moved at a more measured pace, and homes generally sold faster than a year earlier, reinforcing the value of preparation and realistic expectations.
    Heading into Q4 2026, an economist said higher mortgage rates weighed on sales, especially single-family, yet inventory stayed stable and upper-end activity performed well.

  • Florida home prices rise on Treasure Coast, squeezing homebuyers

    Florida home prices rise on Treasure Coast, squeezing homebuyers

    Navigating the Treasure Coast real estate market is always an adventure, and recent numbers highlight just how dynamic our slice of Florida has become. In August, median home prices reached $656,900 in Martin County, $410,000 in Indian River, and $402,500 in St. Lucie. While it’s true that sales have slowed—thanks to rising insurance, taxes, and mortgage rates—these figures reflect the enduring appeal and resilience of our communities. Having boated into Palm City myself years ago and made this area home, I know firsthand what draws people here, and also how important it is to have a steady hand and local insight when the market gets competitive. Whether you’re charting a course for your next move or simply keeping an eye on the tides, understanding these shifts can help you make informed decisions about buying, selling, or investing along the beautiful Treasure Coast.
