Real signal isn't the number — it's that Samsung, SK Hynix & Micron are in it. When the chipmakers invest in the platform, AI stops being a bet and becomes infrastructure.

As the 2026 President of FloridaRealtors, my read is simple: agents who deploy this stuff over the next 12 months will outearn those who don't by a multiple. Not a percentage. A multiple. RT if you're in.

This is what being The Voice for Real Estate in Florida® looks like.

National headlines would have you believe Florida’s housing market is spiraling — foreclosures surging, prices “dropping hard,” demand drying up. But when you look at the data and the full context, the picture is very different.

@floridarealtors Chief Economist Brad O’Connor and I spoke with Clayton Park at @USATODAY TODAY Network Florida to explain what’s actually happening.

📷 We continue to see YOY gains in home sales as buyer demand builds.

📷 Prices are moderating after an unprecedented pandemic‑era run‑up.

📷 Foreclosures are elevated from historic lows, but still a tiny fraction of the overall housing stock — and nowhere near past crisis levels.

This isn’t about sugarcoating challenges. It’s about giving Floridians the real numbers and context they need to make informed decisions.

Appreciate the opportunity to contribute, and thank you to USA Today, @pbpost, and Clayton Park for taking a data‑driven look at Florida’s housing market.

Florida Realtors' most important responsibility: protecting property rights for every FL family.

Standing up for homeowners in Tallahassee isn't a side function — it IS the work.

Grateful to @Browardist for the conversation. @floridarealtors

Are Florida home values really falling? 🤔

If you only looked at a few national headlines, you might think so. But context matters, and that's where @Florida Realtors brings perspective.

Our latest statewide data paints a more balanced (and positive) picture of what's actually happening across the state.

Chief Economist, Brad O'Connor, spoke with @USA TODAY and @The Palm Beach Post to break it down and focus on what matters most: closed sales, not list prices, and real market activity, not assumptions.

Here's what the latest numbers show:
➡️ Home sales are up year over year
➡️ Median prices are largely holding steady
➡️ Distressed sales remain a very small share of the market

For buyers and sellers, the takeaway is simple. Local insight cuts through the noise and gives people confidence in their next move. That's exactly what Realtors® provide: trusted, on-the-ground guidance to help you make the right decision for your family.

Is buying a home earlier still worth it?

Here's the simple answer: People who buy earlier tend to build more wealth over time because they have more years for equity to grow. By 50, early buyers often have about 22.5% higher net worth than those who wait. That's the power of time.

Buying young can be harder today, no doubt. But the long‑term benefits of homeownership are still real. Here's how you can make it work:

➡️ Know your real budget
➡️ Start smaller if needed
➡️ Explore assistance programs
➡️ Work with a trusted Realtor® who knows your parameters and goals

Even a starter home can be a strong first step to building stability and opportunity for you and your family for years to come.

For the past couple of months, I’ve been talking about the importance of stability in Florida’s housing market. Good news: @floridarealtors February numbers show we’re continuing to move in that direction.

We started to see this take shape in January’s data. Now, February builds on it, reinforcing a steady shift toward a more balanced, predictable market.

Here are the highlights:

📷 Closed sales rose again year over year for both single‑family homes and condo/townhouse units—that’s six straight months of gains.

📷 Pending sales increased, showing buyers are still engaged as we head into spring.

📷 Median prices stayed close to last year’s levels, with the pace of price declines continuing to slow and level out, easing pressure without major swings.
📷 New listings normalized, returning to more typical February patterns after last year’s unusual spike.

After years of rapid change, this kind of consistency matters. It gives buyers time to think, sellers clearer expectations, and families the ability to plan decisions around their lives, not urgency or headlines.

What does a more stable housing market make possible for you right now?

There’s never a shortage of headlines coming out of Session. The bigger question is where things actually landed—and what it means for people across Florida.

This year, @floridarealtors  stayed focused on the fundamentals that matter: protecting people, keeping transactions clear, and supporting a stable housing landscape across the state.

Here’s where things stand:

📷 Consumer and professional safeguards held firm.

📷 Protections against fraud in housing and rentals got stronger.

📷 The focus stayed on clarity and transparency, not added complexity.

📷 Housing stability for Florida communities remained front and center.

Passed bills now move to the governor’s desk. As the process continues, we’re turning our attention to what comes next, including lawmakers’ return to the Capitol for continued budget discussions that will shape housing programs and long‑term affordability across Florida.

Mortgage rates just fell below 6% for the first time since 2022. So, what does that mean for Florida’s housing market?

I recently had the opportunity to help Floridians put those headlines into context. Here’s what stands out right now:

1️⃣ Stability is the real story. Rates below 6% matter less than the fact they’re becoming more predictable — and predictability builds confidence.

2️⃣ Small shifts can still have a big impact. Even modest rate changes can mean real monthly savings, especially for first‑time buyers who’ve been waiting for their window.

3️⃣ Floridians are adjusting to a new normal. Ultra‑low pandemic‑era rates aren’t coming back, but today’s range is starting to feel workable.

4️⃣ Buyers are responding. At @FloridaRealtors, our January data shows stronger closed and pending sales, with buyers moving forward even before the latest drop.

5️⃣ Rates are only one piece of the puzzle. The right time to buy is when it makes sense for your life and your finances.

At the end of the day, this isn’t about chasing the perfect rate. It’s about what works for your budget and your life. The good news is the market’s feeling steadier, and that stability is helping people plan and move forward with confidence. @USATODAY @pbpost

Looking for a clue about where the housing market is headed? Watch what builders are doing. 👀🏠 In some markets, new homes are getting a bit smaller again—often a sign the market is adjusting to real budgets. A smaller home can be a smart first step toward homeownership.

You may have seen headlines about a possible federal rate cut in March. The truth is, it could go either way right now. Even the Fed says it’s basically a "coin flip."

Here’s what it comes down to:

When hiring is strong, people spend more, the economy keeps moving, and the Fed tends to hold back on cuts. When hiring slows down, it’s a sign the economy may be cooling—and that’s when rate cuts become more likely.

January’s jobs report came in stronger than expected, which is why March is still up in the air, and all eyes are on February’s numbers.

Now, here’s the part that trips people up: a Fed cut doesn’t automatically mean mortgage rates drop.

Mortgage rates often move ahead of a Fed decision and continue to adjust over time. That’s because the Fed sets short‑term rates, while mortgage rates are based more on inflation and broader market expectations.

So yes, the Fed matters, but for homeowners, it really comes down to whether inflation continues to cool and rates settle into a more predictable range, not timing a single announcement.

Here’s more on the March decision ahead 📷
