🌴🏡 NORTH PORT FLORIDA IS GROWING — AND THERE’S A REASON! 📈

North Port has grown to nearly 96,300 residents and was recently ranked #2 among U.S. growth cities! 🚀

With approximately 30–40 new homes being added every week, more people are discovering North Port for its Florida lifestyle, newer homes, space, and affordability compared to many surrounding coastal communities. ☀️🌴

And with strong relocation demand, continued development, and new businesses and infrastructure coming to the area, North Port is definitely a city to watch! 👀

Thinking about buying or selling in North Port? I’d love to help you understand what’s happening in the market. 🏡❤️

🏡 THINKING ABOUT MAKING FLORIDA YOUR PERMANENT HOME? THIS IS ONE TO WATCH. 🌴

There’s a proposed property-tax change heading to Florida voters this November that could have a BIG impact on homeowners who claim Florida as their primary residence.

Amendment 3 will be on the November 3, 2026 ballot, and if it receives at least 60% of the vote, Florida’s homestead exemption could increase substantially over the next few years.

Here’s the quick breakdown 👇

🏠 The non-school homestead exemption could increase to $150,000 in 2027

🏠 It could then increase to $250,000 in 2028

🏠 Beginning in 2029, the exemption would be adjusted for inflation

🏠 Some homesteaded properties assessed at $250,000 or less could potentially owe little or no non-school ad valorem property tax

🏠 The assessment cap on non-homesteaded properties could also drop from 10% to 5% annually

But there’s one part of this proposal that anyone considering a move to Florida should pay attention to:

🚨 DECEMBER 31, 2026 COULD BE A KEY DATE.

Under the proposal, homeowners who establish Florida residency by the end of 2026 could be positioned to receive the increased exemption sooner.

Those who establish their Florida homestead after that date may have to wait until their fifth year of homestead before receiving the larger exemption.

So if becoming a Florida resident is already part of your plans, the timing of your home purchase and establishing residency could become much more important.

A few things to keep in mind:

👉 This is still only a proposal and must be approved by Florida voters.

👉 The exemption is based on your property's assessed value, not what you paid for the home.

👉 School taxes and certain other assessments could still remain on your tax bill.

Florida already offers some great benefits to homeowners who make the state their permanent residence, and this proposal could make the homestead benefit even more significant.

🏡 SOLD! Congratulations to my sellers on the successful closing of their home on Malvern Drive in Venice! 🎉

This was one of those transactions that was smooth from start to finish. A big shoutout to the buyers and the agent on the other side—it was a pleasure working with everyone, and their professionalism helped make for a seamless transaction.

Wishing the new homeowners many happy memories in their new Florida home! ☀️🔑

✅ If voters approve it this November, the homestead exemption for your primary residence could increase:
• Up to $150,000 in 2027
• Up to $250,000 in 2028

But here’s what many people are missing…

📅 December 31, 2026 could be a very important date.

Under the current proposal, homeowners who establish their Florida homestead by then may qualify for the increased exemption right away if the amendment passes. Those who become Florida residents after January 1, 2027, could have to wait several years before receiving the full benefit. (The Florida Senate)

A few more things to know:
✔️ This applies to homesteaded primary residences, not second homes or investment properties.
✔️ It does not eliminate school property taxes.
✔️ Nothing has changed yet—Florida voters will decide in November 2026. (The Florida Senate)

🌴 If you’re looking for one of Sarasota’s must-visit restaurants… this is it!

🐟 Owen’s Fish Camp serves up fresh seafood, Southern favorites, and one of the coolest outdoor atmospheres around. From the giant banyan trees to the backyard seating with live music and games, it’s more than a meal—it’s an experience.

🌴 Florida Fun Fact! ⏰

Think all of Florida is on the same time? Think again!

Most of the state is in the Eastern Time Zone, but part of the western Panhandle is in the Central Time Zone.

That means when it’s 9:00 AM in Sarasota, Tampa, Orlando, Miami, or Tallahassee… it’s only 8:00 AM in Pensacola!

If you’re moving to Florida or planning a road trip across the state, this little detail can save you from being an hour early—or an hour late! 😅

This is one of the reasons people fall in love with living in Florida. Imagine walking out your back door, grabbing a fishing pole, and ending the day right here on your own dock. 🎣🏡

It’s not just about buying a home—it’s about creating a lifestyle.

I’ve seen it happen more than once…

A homeowner decides to sell their home, pocket the equity, and rent for a year or two while waiting for the “perfect time” to buy again.

The problem? Life happens.

The money that was supposed to be saved for the next home slowly gets spent on vacations, vehicles, everyday expenses, or unexpected costs. Meanwhile, rent continues to rise and home prices may increase as well.

Before they know it, they’re stuck in the rental market and finding it much harder to get back into homeownership than they expected.

Your home is one of the most powerful wealth-building tools most people will ever own. Be careful about treating it like an ATM.

If you’re considering selling, make sure you have a solid plan for what comes next. Sometimes selling makes perfect sense—but it’s important to think through the long-term impact before cashing out your equity.

Real estate isn’t just about today’s transaction. It’s about protecting your future.

Thinking about selling? Let’s talk through your options and make sure you have a plan that works both now and down the road

Waiting for interest rates to drop isn’t the only path to homeownership.

My buyers are taking advantage of seller concessions, builder incentives, and rate buydown programs to lower their monthly payments and make buying a home work in today’s market.

While many people are sitting on the sidelines waiting for rates to change, others are finding opportunities that are available right now.

The right strategy can make all the difference.

Thinking about buying or selling? Let’s talk about your options.
