The May numbers are in for North Port and here is what they actually mean. 📊

Sales have climbed every month this year, from 90 in January to 153 in May. About 70 percent more than where we started. Buyers are moving and the market is more active than the headlines suggest.

Here is the catch for sellers. New construction builders are sitting at about $330,000 right now, down about $15,000 since January. And that price already includes closing cost credits and rate buydowns built into the deal. When a buyer picks a new build they are not just getting a lower price. They are getting financial help on top of it. That is what resale sellers are competing against.

Here is the nuance. Resale prices actually bounced back to about $315,000 in May from $300,000 in April. That is a positive sign. But homes are taking about 67 days to sell on average right now. The sellers winning are the ones who priced it right from day one.

Correctly priced homes are still closing at about 98 percent of list. The market is not broken. The strategy just has to be right.

Florida buyers in Port Charlotte are making the same insurance mistake I see across all of Southwest Florida.

They get excited about a resale price and then find out the insurance premium completely changes their monthly payment. New construction built to current wind codes: $752 per year. Comparable resale: $1,534 per year. That is $65 per month and $781 per year just from insurance.

The math applies everywhere in Southwest Florida, not just North Port.

Here is something most buyers do not realize about Port Charlotte right now.

While North Port new construction prices have been compressing, Port Charlotte is moving in the opposite direction. Median new construction price up from $298,000 in January to $309,000 in April, with days on market improving from 179 days in February to 103 today. Two markets in the same region telling completely different builder stories.

Out of state buyers moving to Southwest Florida keep asking me the same question. Port Charlotte or North Port?

Port Charlotte: $298,000 median, 4.7 months of supply, real buyer leverage. North Port: same leverage, slightly higher new construction presence. Both markets are within 15 to 20 minutes of each other. The decision comes down to lifestyle priorities, not budget.

Big news for Florida homeowners and buyers watching this market. 👀

Governor DeSantis has called a special legislative session to propose raising the homestead exemption from $50,000 to $250,000. If it passes, it would eliminate property taxes entirely for roughly 60% of Florida homeowners with a homestead exemption.

This still has to pass the Legislature, go on the November ballot, and get 60% voter approval to become law. Nothing is final yet.

But if you are considering buying in Florida, this is worth paying attention to. Lower carrying costs make homeownership here even more compelling. 🏡

I will keep you posted as this moves forward.

There are two sets of numbers in the North Port market right now and most sellers are looking at the wrong one.

Active listings show what your neighbors are hoping to get. Pending sales show what buyers are actually paying. In a market where new construction builders have compressed their median by $14,000 since January, the gap between hope and reality is significant.

Homes closing at 98 percent of list when priced correctly. Homes priced against hope sitting at 124 days on market average with no offers.
