Latest Market Update
August 2026
Fresh inventory and new-construction continue to accelerate sales at the entry–to–mid price points while luxury homes still demand a tailored, patient approach.
Market Pulse
- New-construction in the $360k–$460k band is moving fast: several Fields Ln and Cypress Valley homes show DOM as low as 1–9 days (examples: 308 Fields Ln DOM 4, 329 Fields Ln DOM 2, 603 Cypress Valley Ave DOM 7).
- Mid-to-upper market momentum is mixed: quality listings in the $600k–$900k range are drawing activity quickly when positioned well (e.g., 111 Prestwick Ct at $719,900 DOM 9; 125 N Empress Green Pl at $940,000 DOM 9).
- Luxury inventory remains elongated: multiple $1M+ homes carry long market exposure (notable examples: 502 Grand Palisade Pl at $4,000,000 DOM 219, 203 S Empress Green Pl at $899,999 DOM 380), though a few well-priced recent builds are catching quicker attention (422 N Copa Palm Loop at $1,775,000 DOM 7, 425 N Copa Palm Loop at $1,475,000 DOM 3).
Key Insight From Today's Listings
- Speed equals readiness in new builds: inventory built 2024–2026 with modern finishes and functional layouts (many at ~1,700–2,300 sqft) are consistently showing single-digit DOM and creating the appearance of scarcity to buyers.
- Pricing discipline matters at higher price points: luxury and unique homes are no longer sailing on prestige alone — price, presentation, and creative terms (rate buydowns, seller concessions) are driving inquiries.
- Pockets of opportunity exist across price bands: correctly staged and competitively priced 3–5 bed homes in the $350k–$800k window are most likely to attract multiple offers and fast closings today.
My Advice for Buyers and Sellers
- Sellers (under $500k): Emphasize move-in readiness. A focused refresh (paint, curb appeal, minor kitchen/bath updates) and sharp pricing can convert those fast-scrolling buyers into offers — expect activity within days if done right.
- Sellers ($500k–$1M+): For unique or luxury homes, invest in targeted marketing (video tours, high-end photography, broker previews) and price to the current comparable set — otherwise expect a longer marketing timeline and negotiation on terms.
- Buyers (entry–to–mid): Be underwritten and ready to act; speed wins on new-construction and well-priced resale. Bring clean offers and consider limited contingencies in competitive situations.
- Buyers (luxury): Use patience to your advantage. Longer DOM often translates into flexibility on price and terms; leverage inspections and comparable sales to structure a strong, strategic offer.
