🔑 Here's one of the BIGGEST benefits of the new "Coming Soon" status:

Days on Market (DOM) do NOT accumulate while your home is in Coming Soon! ⏰

That means sellers can:
✅ Take time to properly prepare their home
✅ Generate buyer interest before going Active
✅ Market confidently — without the pressure of the DOM clock ticking

Smart strategy. Smart selling. 🏡

It's the question every homeowner is thinking but not everyone is asking.

Here's what I'm seeing in the DeLand market right now:

📊 Median home value: ~$332,000–$342,000
📉 Homes selling at roughly 3–5% below list price on average
✅ Well-priced, move-in ready homes? Still moving.
⚠️ Overpriced homes? Sitting — and accumulating days on market that buyers notice.

What your neighbor sold for 18 months ago is not what your home is worth today. The market has shifted — and knowing exactly where you stand is the most powerful information you can have before making any decision.

I'll give you a real number. Not a Zestimate. Not a range so wide it's useless. An honest, data-backed answer — even if it's "not quite the right time yet."

👉 What's your home worth right now? Ask me. Genuinely — no pressure.

You can work from anywhere. So why are you still paying rent in a city that costs three times as much?

Here's the DeLand equation for remote workers:

✅ No state income tax — keep more of what you make
✅ Median home ~$332,000 — own instead of renting
☕ Walkable downtown with coffee shops, restaurants, culture
✈️ 45 minutes to Orlando International Airport
🌊 25 minutes to the beach when the workday's done
🦦 Blue Spring, the St. Johns River, and actual nature — out your back door

The laptop-professional lifestyle was built for a place like DeLand. Affordable, connected, beautiful, and just far enough from the chaos.

People keep discovering this. The ones who moved here two years ago are very glad they didn't wait.

The buyers who get the best deals aren't the ones who move fastest. They're the ones who ask the right questions first.

Before any offer goes in, I ask these five:

1️⃣ How long has it been on the market?
Days on market tells you everything about a seller's mindset.

2️⃣ Has the price been reduced — and how many times?
Reductions signal where the real negotiating floor is.

3️⃣ What's included in the sale?
Appliances, fixtures, and furniture are often negotiable.

4️⃣ Are there any known issues with the property?
Sellers must disclose. But you have to know to ask.

5️⃣ What does the seller actually need?
Sometimes a flexible closing date is worth more to them than $5,000.

The buyer who asks the right questions wins — every time.

It sounds like a safe plan: wait for rates to fall, then buy.

Here's what the math actually says:

Every time rates have dropped meaningfully in recent history, millions of sidelined buyers re-enter the market at the same time. Demand spikes. Inventory gets absorbed. Bidding wars return.

You'd save money on your rate — and pay more for the house.

Right now in DeLand, you have something that disappears the moment the crowd returns:

✅ Negotiating room
✅ Inspection contingencies
✅ Seller-paid closing costs
✅ Time to think

Rates can be refinanced. The price you pay for the home is locked in forever.

💬 Run the numbers with me. The answer might surprise you.

Most neighborhoods have a pool. Victoria Park has a pool, a splash pad, a championship 18-hole golf course, miles of walking trails, pickleball courts, a fitness center, a lake, pocket parks, and a butterfly garden.

It's not a neighborhood. It's a lifestyle.

Five distinct communities within one master-planned development — Victoria Hills, Victoria Trails, Victoria Commons, Victoria Oaks, and Cresswind at Victoria Gardens — so whether you're a young family, a remote worker, or an active adult, there's a fit for you.

Median home price: ~$400K. 77 homes currently available. Voted #1 friendliest neighborhood in DeLand in 2026.

And it's 10 minutes from downtown DeLand, 20 minutes to the beach, 30 minutes to Orlando.

💬 Want a personal tour of Victoria Park? I know every corner of this community.

The biggest myth in real estate? That you need 20% down to buy a home.

Here's the truth about buying in Florida right now:

🎖️ VA Loans: $0 down. No PMI. For veterans and active military.
🌾 USDA Loans: $0 down. Available in many areas around DeLand.
🏠 FHA Loans: 3.5% down. Flexible credit requirements.
💰 Florida Assist Program: Up to $10,000 at 0% interest — deferred until you sell.
⭐ Hometown Heroes: Up to $25,000 for frontline workers. Nurses, teachers, firefighters, law enforcement.

Some of these programs are fully forgiven after 5 years. Some never need to be repaid at all.

The catch? Funds are limited and run out fast — especially when the new fiscal year opens in July.

You may be closer to owning a home in DeLand than you think.

💬 Tell me your situation and I'll tell you what's actually available to you. Programs, amounts and eligibility vary — let's confirm what applies to you specifically.
