🎥 Central Florida Real Estate Market Update: Why a Neutral Market is GOOD for Buyers & Sellers!

Are you wondering what’s really happening in the Central Florida real estate market right now? In this video, I break down what it means to be in a neutral market—and why that’s not a bad thing.

For the first time in years, we’re seeing balance. Homes are taking a little longer to sell, buyers have more negotiating power, and sellers can still get strong values—especially when priced right.

📉 Yes, interest rates are higher than a few years ago, but they’re still historically reasonable. And here’s the truth: real estate is always about timing that fits your life, not trying to “time the market.”

Whether you're thinking of buying, selling, or you're a fellow Realtor navigating this shift—this video will give you perspective, encouragement, and insight to help you move forward confidently.

✅ What I cover:

What is a neutral market?

How this impacts buyers and sellers

Why you shouldn’t wait for the “perfect” market

Encouragement for agents in this season

👉 Let’s talk about what this means for YOU. Have a question? Drop it in the comments or reach out anytime!
