Single family home sales in the Village of Pinecrest increased ever so slightly in 2025. There were 192 closed sales last year, up by a mere one percent over 2024.

When a home isn’t receiving strong offers, price or timing is frequently the reason. But, just as often, the way sellers present their home can discourage offers. In a slower or balanced market, buyers take their time. They pause, compare, and notice details they might have missed in a hotter cycle. That’s why physical staging […]

One harsh truth for sellers is that the market does not care what a home was worth. It also does not care what it feels like it should be worth. Overpricing is rarely intentional.

In Miami real estate, the holiday season from Thanksgiving through early January is often labeled a dead period. Buyers assume nothing worthwhile is available. Sellers worry they will miss their moment and wait for spring. The reality is more nuanced than that assumption suggests. The market slows down during the holidays, but the impact is […]

One of the most challenging conversations I have with relocating buyers isn’t about price, inventory, or neighborhoods. It’s about timing, and not the kind dictated by the market. Many buyers begin their home search before they’ve resolved the core decisions of their move. While this can be informative and proactive, it’s frequently premature. For relocating […]

Relocating buyers often reach a moment late in the home search where everything suddenly slows down. Showings stop, and conversations shift. What once felt clear now feels heavy. And almost always, the explanation sounds financial. “We just cannot justify the prices here.” “It feels like we are overpaying.” “Maybe this market is not for us […]
