Real Estate Real Talk: What Buyers & Sellers Are Asking Right Now

Every season brings a fresh wave of curiosity in the real estate world—and we’re here to answer some of the most pressing questions on buyers’ and sellers’ minds right now in the Florida Keys.

Q: Are buyers still out there, or has interest slowed down?
A: Buyers are absolutely still active, especially in our unique island market. While national trends may shift, we’re seeing continued demand in the Keys—particularly for well-priced, move-in-ready homes in great locations. If your home shows well and is priced and marketed strategically, serious buyers are looking.

Q: Is now a good time to list, or should I wait until after the holidays?
A: Don’t let the calendar hold you back. The holidays bring out motivated buyers who are serious about finding a place quickly. Plus, less competition in the market can make your listing stand out more. We can help you take advantage of end-of-year momentum.

Q: Are interest rates finally going down?
A: We’re beginning to see signs of relief. Even small shifts in rates can make a big difference in buyer confidence. And when the next rate cut comes, you’ll want your home already listed and in front of ready-to-move buyers.

Have more questions? Our agents are always available to walk you through the latest market trends, connect you with local lenders, and help you build the right strategy—whether you’re buying, selling, or just starting to plan.
