South Florida property taxes are headed for a reduction, though the exact size remains an open question in Tallahassee. The Florida House passed a resolution in February 2026 to phase out all non-school property taxes on primary residences over the next decade. That measure died in the Senate, but a special session set for April 20 will bring property tax reform back to the floor....

Have two or three experienced local agents tour the property and deliver their professional opinion of value. Online tools like Zillow's Zestimate offer a starting point, but their median error on off-market homes is 7%. That translates to a $35,000 miss on a $500,000 property. An agent who actively sells in your neighborhood captures what no algorithm can, including recent buyer...

A home's selling price comes from comparing recent neighborhood sales against the specific condition, features, and square footage of your property. But the right number is not just a formula. It is a collaborative process between agent and seller, built on local sales data, firsthand property knowledge, and conversations with other agents active in the area. In South Florida,...

By compressing buyer demand into a narrow window instead of spreading it thin over weeks. A 10-day launch builds awareness through seven days of coming soon marketing, funnels all showings into one Saturday afternoon, and collects competing offers the same weekend. Correctly priced homes that follow this sequence sell faster and attract stronger bids than listings that sit and...

A correctly priced single-family home in South Florida typically sells within 20 to 60 days based on current median data. In Q1 2026, Palm Beach County posted a median of 59 days on market. Broward County came in at 64. But those numbers only apply when three things are right: the marketing hits every platform, the condition checks out, and the price aligns with what buyers are...

It depends on what you plan to do with the proceeds if you sell. If you have no clear plan for that cash, holding the property as a rental may be smarter. But if your money can earn a higher return elsewhere, selling now could strengthen your financial position. South Florida home prices are expected to grow at roughly 1% to 3% annually through 2027. That changes the math compared...

Price the home at true market value, nail the marketing across every major platform, and present the property in its best possible condition. These three elements work together. Larry Mastropieri calls them the three-legged stool. If any one of them is off, the whole thing falls over. When all three align, buyers show up, competing offers follow, and the sale price pushes above...

The best time to sell is when you are ready to sell. February through May brings the highest buyer traffic and strongest seasonal demand. However, 15 to 20 years of local transaction data shows no consistent month where sellers earn a higher price. Macro trends like interest rates, inventory levels, and migration patterns drive pricing far more than the calendar. If supply and...

Prices across South Florida are expected to stay relatively flat with modest growth in the range of 1% to 2% per year through late 2027. Inventory has started to tighten heading into the 2026 spring selling season, and mortgage rates have dipped slightly over the past six months. Neither factor is strong enough to trigger a surge, but both are keeping the market from sliding...
