As a fellow veteran, I know that finding a home isn't just about the floor plan—it’s about finding a space that truly supports your lifestyle. Whether you’re looking for accessible home modifications, information on VA loan benefits, or just want to connect with local veteran-focused groups, I’m here to help.

I’m currently putting together a list of the best veteran-friendly spots, parks, activities and support services in our community. If you or someone you know is a veteran looking to buy, sell, or just navigate the local area, let’s chat. My goal is to help veterans transition—whether it’s a move across town or across the country—is as smooth as possible.

Here's two local resources that area available to veterans in the area and have supported me well! Thank you.

You might have seen the headlines from FlaglerLive this week: For the first time in 14 years, average taxable property values in Flagler County and Palm Coast have dipped slightly (about 1%) when you exclude new construction.

https://flaglerlive.com/taxable-values-2026

After a decade and a half of non-stop growth, the market is finally catching its breath. If you are a local homeowner, here is what this actually means for you:

1️⃣ The Market is Normalizing: The intense, pandemic-era "buying spurt" has cooled down. We are shifting toward a more balanced, realistic market, which is a natural part of the real estate cycle.
2️⃣ New Construction is Holding the Line: Thanks to over half a billion dollars in local new construction, our overall community tax base is staying steady.
3️⃣ A Shift in the Tax Conversation: Because values dipped slightly, local cities and the county are facing unique budget decisions. It means the "rollback rate" would actually have to shift to keep revenues completely flat—something our local leaders will be navigating this summer.

The Takeaway?
If you are homesteaded, your property protections remain a massive shield. If you’ve been waiting on the sidelines to buy, a stabilizing market with less intense competition might be exactly the window you've been looking for.

Every neighborhood, from Palm Coast Plantation to the Hammock, reacts a little differently to these shifts. Want to know how these county-wide numbers impact your specific neighborhood or home equity?

Average taxable property values in Flagler County fell in 2026 for the first time in fourteen years outside of new construction. The drop signals a cooling housing market and directly impacts local government budgets. Local governments would now have to raise tax rates marginally to maintain current...

I ride my bike around the Roberts Road / Colbert Lane area pretty often and noticed a lot of activity on the old cement plant site. Just looked it up — it may be called Lighthouse Harbor, a large mixed-use marina village project, if anyone can confirm.

Project highlights:

845 residential units (townhomes, apartments & single-family homes)
80 wet slips + 200 dry slips marina
160,000+ sq ft of commercial/retail space
Expected first residents in 2027

Here’s the project website if you want to check it out:
👉 https://cr-endeavors.com/endeavor/lighthouse-harbor/

What do you all think about this project? Excited for the new waterfront/marina vibe in that area, or worried about traffic and growth?

Also — any locals know if there are plans to improve the bike crossings and safety near Colbert and Roberts? Would love safer connections as this project moves forward.
