The Market Digested, for Buyers:
- Savvy buyers purchase before the rush of spring of summer and know that buying early allows for collecting more rental income, getting better negotiation opportunities, and off-market opportunities.
- Expect a busy buyer market in the springtime, fueled by lots of momentum leading up to it.
- Expect inventory to be lower this springtime than previous years and engaging your agent for pre-market and off-market opportunities.
- Expect Negotiation % to be around 95% or higher for springtime as listings come on line, but buyers enter the market. The market heats up with the temperatures.
- Prices should remain steady through the year, with incredible and unique real estate opportunities coming online regularly.
- Look for “deals” for homes that are on the market more than 180 days, have opportunity to cosmetically improve, add a pool, etc.
- Expectations: 30-40% down for a home to break even as a vacation rental.

The Market Digested, for Sellers:
- Savvy sellers are preparing their homes to stand out amongst the crowd — making repairs, updating landscape, and hiring interior designers to make their homes a 10/10.
- Sellers who are serious are working with realtors who can help them prepare their homes, market for off-market, create a compelling visual listing, and have a strong marketing plan.
- Sellers should expect a rush of listings to hit the market in early-mid March — so getting ahead of the curve is ideal to get lost in the mix.
- Listing prices should remain steady throughout the year, within a 5% margin.
- Expect 90-180+ days on market if your home isn’t in great condition, desirable, and stands out from the crowd. The goal should be for you home to be #1 amongst the competition.
- Sellers can reasonably expect more buyers in the market than 2025, so for homes that stand out — we will see homes sell quickly and for more.
- Expect to price your home slightly lower, as competition rises.
