WARNING 🔥 SW Florida March Market Shift | Sales Up 55%… But Demand Is Falling. New Homes Cheaper?!?

🚨 SW Florida housing just sent a MAJOR mixed signal… and most people are reading this market wrong. Closed sales just skyrocketed over 55% in March, inventory dropped, and on the surface it looks like things are heating up again… but behind the scenes, pending sales just fell 23%, buyer demand remains near historic lows, and affordability is still a major issue. Even more shocking—for the first time in U.S. history, new construction homes are now cheaper than resale homes. In this video, I break down exactly how I helped buyers secure $88,000 and over $130,000 in incentives, and why a “cheaper” used home can actually cost you MORE monthly.
