Just 10 days remaining to save a few bucks on major purchases, like computers, and save on small purchases, too.!

Here’s a shift worth noticing if you’re buying: negotiation is a normal part of the process again.

Nearly half of sellers — 46% in May — gave buyers some form of concession, a record for that month. Price reductions are far more common than they were during the frenzy.

For buyers, that’s not a warning sign. A reduced price is often an invitation to look closer, not a reason to stay away. Inspections, repairs, closing costs, timing — these are conversations again, not sacrifices you make to win a bidding war.

One honest caveat: more negotiation doesn’t mean buyers control every market. A well-priced home in a tight area can still move fast. But the list price is no longer the whole conversation.

Here’s a number most buyers don’t know: about 44% of sellers recently gave buyers a concession — close to the highest share on record. 💰

A concession is money the seller credits toward the home buyers' closing costs instead of cutting the price, which lowers the cash they bring on closing day.

There’s another saver too: a rate buydown, where the seller pays to lower your mortgage rate. Take $10,000 off the price and your payment barely moves — put that same $10,000 toward your rate and you feel it every month.

Same money out of the seller’s pocket. A much bigger result in yours.

🇺🇸 Have a Happy Day & Evening Celebrating the 4th of July - 250 Years! 🇺🇸

07/02/2026

Summer buyers often get labeled as casual, but in our south Florida market the opposite is true.

By July, a lot of buyers have already done the early work — they’ve talked to lenders, narrowed neighborhoods, and figured out what they can realistically afford. They know what they want, price they can afford, and time frame to move.

They’re not just browsing. They’re trying to make a move before vacations, lease renewals, relocations, or the beginning of the next school year.

Sense of timing matters! Because of this, serious summer buyers often make faster decisions because they feel the calendar moving faster.

If you’re selling, this is a good reminder: don’t assume summer shoppers are less motivated. A well-presented, well-priced home can still move quickly when it matches what buyers are looking for.

Want to sell your home this summer? We will gladly work with you as advisors to help get the job done. Text or call Jason Martin for a free consultation at 561-624-4544.

Let us know in the comments — do you think summer buyers are more serious or more selective?

Plus you get tax deductions if owning a house instead of renting.

The days of waiting for housing affordability to "go back to normal" may be over.

A new Morgan Stanley report warns that while conditions could improve somewhat, homebuyers shouldn't expect affordability to return to pre-2022 levels anytime soon.

Today's buyers are facing monthly payments of roughly $2,000 on a median-priced home, which is about double what it cost just five years ago.

Even small moves in mortgage rates are now having an outsized impact on whether families can afford to buy.

When buyers walk into a home, the little things shape the feeling faster than most sellers realize. Here are five details that make a home feel instantly inviting:
1. Natural light and open blinds
2. A comfortable temperature
3. Clean, fresh-smelling air
4. Clear surfaces and uncluttered rooms
5. A layout that feels easy to move through

None of these require a major renovation. But together, they change how a buyer experiences the space. That first impression matters. Buyers don’t just evaluate square footage and finishes — they pay attention to how a home feels in the first few minutes.

If you’re preparing to sell, start with the basics before chasing bigger updates. Often, the easiest improvements create the strongest emotional response. Which one do you notice first when you walk into a home?
