"Prices are crashing!”
“Prices are skyrocketing!”
“Homes are sitting forever!”
You’ve seen
all the dramatic headlines. Some of them are even true… but not here in Northeast Florida. 
Because all real estate is local. What’s happening in California, New York, or even Miami and Orlando has almost no impact on whether it’s a smart time for YOU to buy or sell in St. Johns, Jacksonville or St. Augustine, FL.
Think of it like checking the weather. If you’re heading to a Jaguars game or spending the day at the beach, you don’t care what the forecast is in Houston or Westchester. You pull up the local radar.
Same with real estate.
When we sit down to talk about your home (or the one you want to buy), we don’t look at national averages or even statewide numbers. We zoom in on what’s actually happening right here in Duval and St. Johns counties, and :
→ How fast are homes selling in your specific neighborhood?
→ What are similar homes actually closing for (not just list price)?
→ Is inventory rising or shrinking this month?
→ Are multiple offers still happening on well-priced properties?
That’s the data that actually matters — and it varies neighborhood by neighborhood.
So if you’re tired of the hype-and-panic national real estate news and want the real story for Northeast Florida, let’s talk.
Whether you’re thinking about selling in 2026, curious what your home is worth today, or wondering if it’s finally your time to buy — I’ve got the hyper-local numbers and am happy to share them.
DM me or text “LOCAL” to (904) 576-0706 and I’ll send you my December 2025 Northeast Florida Market Snapshot — no obligation, no sales pitch, just the facts.
It’s your move. Let’s make it the right one. 🏡
