US Inventory Growth Slows Stays Soft
As someone who guides clients through every twist and turn of the real estate market, I keep a close eye on the latest inventory trends. By Mid-Q3 2026, national active inventory reached 1.14 million—up about 4% from last year’s 1.1 million. While that’s still growth, it’s a much gentler pace compared to the jump of around 21% the year before. We even saw growth dip as low as 2% in late Q2 before ticking up again. By the close of Mid-Q3, 18 states and DC had surpassed their pre-pandemic 2019 inventory levels, though the nation overall remains about 8% below those numbers, with 1.14 million active listings versus 1.24 million back in 2019. This means the U.S. market hasn’t fully rebuilt its supply just yet. The dramatic post-boom cooling has leveled off, leaving us in a softer market with flat year-over-year prices. Looking ahead, higher yields and mortgage rates could really test how the market holds up. I always aim to keep my clients well-informed, helping you navigate these shifting conditions with confidence and clarity.

Why Florida dominates America's top-selling communities
Florida stands out in the world of master-planned communities, claiming 44% of America’s top 50 best-selling developments. What sets these communities apart is the smart approach to early infrastructure—funded by community districts—so growth remains sustainable and local taxpayers aren’t left with the bill. I’ve always been committed to guiding my clients with insight and care, and understanding how these communities are built for long-term value is a key part of that commitment. It’s details like these that help buyers and sellers make confident, informed decisions.

Florida Luxury Condo Pipeline Expands
Florida’s luxury condo market is truly on the move, with developers launching high-end towers all along the coast—from the vibrant streets of Miami and St. Petersburg to the exclusive neighborhoods of West Palm Beach and Naples. Many of these upscale residences start at $1M or more, though some Miami and St. Pete options open in the $500Ks or $600Ks, proving you can still find great value with stunning views and premium amenities. Looking ahead, projects are already in the works through 2031 in places like Daytona Beach Shores, Sarasota, and beyond. As someone who prioritizes client satisfaction and smooth transactions, I see how discerning buyers are becoming: exceptional locations and long-term value matter more than ever. Whether you’re dreaming of a luxury address or simply want to keep an eye on Florida’s evolving condo landscape, it’s an exciting time to explore what’s possible here.
