📊 Englewood Market Snapshot Update 🏡

Current inventory levels are showing about a 5-month supply of homes on the market.

Here’s the breakdown:
🏠 Active Listings: 375
⏳ Under Contract: 115
✔️ Homes Sold (Last 6 Months): 454

That puts our market in a fairly balanced range:
• Under 4 months = Seller’s Market
• 4–6 months = Balanced Market
• Over 6 months = Buyer’s Market

What does that mean?
Well-priced homes are still selling, but buyers have more options and are taking their time. Pricing, condition, and presentation matter more than ever in today’s market. 📍

🏡 Englewood Market Update – April 6, 2026

I’m a listing agent serving clients throughout Central and Southwest Florida​.
Market conditions can vary quite a bit from one area to another, so if you're curious about what's happening in your specific neighborhood, I'm always happy to provide a local update​.

Here’s what’s happening in our single-family home market:

📍 Active Listings: 375 homes
💰 Median List Price: $507,205

⏳ Under Contract: 115 homes

📊 Last 6 Months:
✔️ 454 homes sold
💰 Median List Price: $399,900
💰 Median Sold Price: $386,500
📅 Median Days on Market: 56 days

🔎 Compared to last month:
We’re seeing a fairly steady market with solid inventory and consistent buyer activity. Homes are still moving, but buyers are taking a bit more time—creating opportunities for negotiation.

🔎 How this compares to February (statewide):

Florida is seeing 6 straight months of rising single-family sales, with February up nearly 4% year-over-year. At the same time:

✔️ Inventory is starting to level off (even slightly down)
✔️ New listings dropped back to more “normal” levels
✔️ Prices are staying relatively stable (down less than 1% year-over-year)

✨ The big picture:
The market has likely bottomed out and is stabilizing, not crashing. We’re moving into a more balanced, “normal” market—especially compared to the frenzy of past years.

✔️ Buyers = more choices + negotiation power
✔️ Sellers = still strong demand, but pricing matters more than ever
If you’re thinking about buying or selling in this strategic market—I’d love to help you navigate it.

This update focuses on the Englewood market, I’m a listing agent serving clients throughout Central and Southwest Florida.
Market conditions can vary quite a bit from one area to another, so if you're curious about what's happening in your specific neighborhood, I'm always happy to provide a local update.
Now here’s a quick snapshot of what’s happening in Englewood real estate and mortgage rates right now.
📈 Mortgage Rates (as of March 12, 2026)
30-Year Fixed: 6.11%
15-Year Fixed: 5.50%
Rates are actually slightly lower than they were a year ago, and over the past year the 30-year rate has generally stayed between about 6% and 6.9%. This stability has helped bring buyers back into the market.

🏡 Englewood Single-Family Home Market (as of March 13, 2026)

Homes for Sale
✨ 373 active listings
✨ Median list price: $499,000
✨ 124 pending listings

Homes Sold in the Last 6 Months
✨ 425 homes sold
✨ Median list price: $395,000
✨ Median sold price: $374,700
✨ Median days on market: 56 days

What this means in simple terms
Homes are still selling steadily, and buyers are active. On average, homes have been selling for about 5% below the original list price, which shows that pricing a home correctly from the start really matters.
It also appears that some homes currently coming on the market may be priced a bit higher than where buyers have recently been closing deals. In today’s market, the homes that are priced well and show well tend to sell the fastest.
With mortgage rates holding relatively steady around the low-6% range, many buyers are adjusting and continuing to move forward with their home searches.
If you’re curious what your home might sell for in today’s market, or if you’re thinking about buying and want to understand what your purchasing power looks like with current rates, message me, I’d be happy to run the numbers for you.

💡 Who is “The Fed”? 💡

You hear it all the time: “The Fed cut rates” or “The Fed raised rates.”
But who exactly IS the Fed? 🤔

👉 THE CENTRAL BANK OF THE UNITED STATES.
Their job is to:
✅ Keep inflation under control
✅ Set interest rates that influence mortgages, credit cards & loans
✅ Supervise banks to keep your money safe
✅ Keep the financial system stable

When you hear “The Fed,” think of it as America’s money referee 🏦 — making calls to keep the economy balanced.
