The next real estate cycle isn’t defined by movement — it’s defined by stability.
We’re entering what economists are calling “The Great Stay”:
Homeowners with strong equity are choosing not to sell
Locked-in mortgage rates are keeping inventory tight
Pricing remains supported by limited supply
Long-term ownership is reshaping asset values
In South Florida, this trend is especially powerful:
✔️ Ongoing migration from high-tax states
✔️ International demand
✔️ High cash buyer activity
✔️ Premium placed on lifestyle markets
For 2026, the story isn’t correction — it’s controlled growth.
We’ll continue to see value resilience, selective competition, and a clear advantage for well-positioned sellers.
