    Florida’s Proposed Property Tax Changes: What Property Owners Should Know About The 2026 Save Our Homes Proposal

    If you own property in Florida—or are planning to buy or sell in the next few years—there are some important proposed changes on the horizon. In 2026, voters will decide whether to raise the homestead exemption for non-school taxes to $250,000 by 2028. There’s also a proposed reduction in the annual assessment cap to 5% for many non-homestead properties, set to take effect starting January 2027.

  • Starter Homes Are Sitting Longer | Referrals are the lifeline of my business. I appreciate all referrals & promise to take care of your friends & family.

    In South Florida, an agent said first-time buyers have more room to negotiate than in 2021 or 2022 because the market is more balanced.
    During the pandemic rush, buyers waived inspections and shortened timelines. In South Florida's current market, they can seek credits, closing-cost help, repairs, or rate buydowns.
    Buyers also have more time to think, compare properties, run the numbers, and negotiate instead of immediately facing 15 competing offers on the first weekend.
    Well-priced, high-quality homes in South Florida are still moving quickly, but listings sitting longer, overpriced, or needing work give buyers significantly more leverage.
    Buying still isn't easy: current 30-yr mortgage rates are near 7%, but less competition can give prepared South Florida buyers a calmer path into homeownership.

  • PBP Real Estate: Cash Buyers Accounted for About Half of Palm Beach County Home Sales in Q2

    Palm Beach County’s real estate market continues to move at a brisk pace—about half of all home sales in Q2 2026 were cash deals. This is especially true for condos and townhomes, where cash purchases are even more common. The median price for single-family homes climbed to $700,000, while available inventory tightened further, making it a uniquely competitive moment for both buyers and sellers.
