Thinking of selling? The Brandon real estate market is putting up some big numbers this May. 🚀

Our latest year-over-year update for single-family detached homes highlights just how competitive the local market is right now. Buyers are active, inventory remains tight down 25% YTD, and well-priced homes are moving in just over a week on average (8 days!).

With an average list-to-sale ratio of 104%, sellers are in a fantastic position to maximize their return.

Below ⬇️ full breakdown of May 2026 vs. May 2025.

The market is moving fast, but that doesn’t mean you have to panic-buy. 🏡⏱️

When a new house hits the market, you might see an offer date set for 5 to 7 days out. While that looks like a comfortable window on paper, leaving your walkthrough until day 6 or 7 can leave you scrambling.

Ryan breaks down why getting in early is the ultimate competitive advantage. It gives you the necessary time to sort out your finances, organize home inspections, and build a winning offer strategy without the last-minute stress.

Don't wait until the deadline is looming! If you see a property you love, reach out to us right away so we can get you in for a viewing.

To renovate or not to renovate? That is the question! 🤔👇

When it's time to sell, many homeowners assume they need to do big, expensive updates to get top dollar. But did you know that some renovations might just end up being a wash—or worse, lose you money?

At the Shields Group, we always tell our clients to reach out before swinging the hammer. We’re happy to come out anytime to look at your house as it currently is, discuss ways to actually increase its value, and help you decide if a project is worth the investment.

Your home talks to you all the time. Most people just don’t know what to look for. 🏠

A lot of the expensive home issues we see usually start small:
💧 Water not draining properly
🌬 HVAC systems not being maintained
⚡ Electrical systems being ignored
🏚 Attic or roof issues nobody checks

The good news?

Most of these problems can be caught early with a little attention and regular maintenance.

Owning a home isn’t about perfection. It’s about understanding how your home works so small problems don’t turn into big ones.

A home inspection isn’t really a “pass or fail.”

It’s more like an owner’s manual for one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make.

The more you understand your home, the more confident you become as a homeowner. 👊

Which one do you think homeowners overlook the most? 👇

Why skipping a home inspection is a risk you shouldn’t take. 👇

When the market gets competitive, many buyers feel pressured to drop the home inspection condition just to make their offer look more appealing to sellers. While it’s true that a clean offer stands out, skipping the inspection entirely can leave you vulnerable to thousands of dollars in hidden repairs.

Our advice remains the same:

Always get a home inspection.
How do you navigate this in a hot market?

1️⃣ Get ahead of the game: Arrange for a full inspection before offer day.

2️⃣ Opt for a "Mini-Inspection": Have an expert do a targeted check on the high-ticket items like the foundation, roofing/attic, plumbing, and electrical panels.

Be prepared, know what you are buying, and avoid nasty surprises after closing day.
