Days on market can tell you more than how long a home has been listed. It may provide clues about demand, pricing, condition, and seller motivation.A newly listed home could require quick action, while one that has been available for several weeks may create an opportunity to ask questions or negotiate.However, the displayed number does not always tell the complete story. A listing can be removed and relisted, causing the DOM counter to restart.Before making an offer, ask your agent to review the property's full listing history and cumulative days on market. Better information can help you evaluate the seller's position, structure a stronger offer, and make a more confident buying decision.

Home Prices Grow in 80% of Metros
In Q2 2026, 80% of major U.S. metros saw home prices on the rise, with the median price now at $434,900—a 1.5% uptick. What’s especially interesting is that sales continued to climb, even with higher mortgage rates in play. The South led the way in sales growth, while the Northeast posted the largest gains in price, though sales there were a bit slower. Here in Naples, we keep a close eye on these trends, especially as they shape the luxury market and our approach to proactive marketing and successful buying and selling strategies. Understanding these shifts is key to navigating our dynamic real estate landscape.

Americans Name Nashville and Florida the Most Desirable Places to Live in 2026
It's always interesting to see where Americans are setting their sights for future living, and the latest rankings put Nashville at the top of U.S. metro desirability, with Denver and San Diego close behind. Here in Florida, we continue to stand out—our state is leading the pack as the most desirable overall, while states like California and New York are seeing their rankings drop, mainly due to higher costs and taxes. On the flip side, Chicago finds itself at the bottom, influenced by concerns like crime and data center restrictions. As someone passionate about luxury living and deeply invested in the Naples area, I know firsthand why Florida’s lifestyle, value, and community spirit are drawing so many to call it home.
