Normal houses are 𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨. 😏

If we aren’t giving the appraiser at least one new gray hair, are we even trying?

Here’s the part the Real Estate Bible leaves out: comps are evidence of what the market has already done. With truly unique properties, sometimes the harder question is figuring out what the market could be convinced to do next.

That’s where positioning, scarcity, psychology and good old-fashioned experience start earning their keep.

For a little perspective: one of Siesta Key’s recent trophy sales (sold by our dear friends and colleagues Kim & Lynn) traded around $21M CASH... roughly $1,800/SF. And before you even THINK 'that seems low'..... take note it was TWELVE THOUSAND sqft =).

At that altitude, the calculator still matters.
It just doesn’t get the final vote. 😏

Cheers!

I spent this past week meeting international buyers face to face in Panama, and the data behind that trip is exactly what I covered back in August: $45.3 billion in international buyer purchases in the U.S. last year, with Florida capturing 20% of it, more than any other state.

Swipe through for the breakdown, still relevant, still worth understanding if you're thinking about selling in Sarasota!

¡Buenos días desde Panamá! 🇵🇦

Para nosotros, los estadounidenses, resulta sorprendente... ¡pero ¿sabían que el 75 % del PIB mundial se genera FUERA de EE. UU.?!

¡¿Cómo que no somos el centro del universo?!

Estadísticas de compradores internacionales de la NAR (2026):

💰 45.000 millones de dólares en compras de bienes raíces en EE. UU.

🌗 La mitad de las compras se realizaron al contado (en efectivo).

🏖️ ¿Florida? Sí... ocupa el primer puesto con el 20 % de todas las compras.
..y de ese 20 % de los 45.000 millones...

Una nada despreciable tercera parte proviene de América Latina. 😎

Aquí termina mi charla TED desde Panamá 🤣

On average, I'm closing listings in 43.5 days. County average is 73.5. My sellers are also landing closer to full asking price.

The difference isn't effort. Every listing gets the same preparation. It's timing, specifically, how much runway exists before a home goes live on MLS.

Swipe through to see exactly how that works, and what it means if you're thinking about selling.

International buyers pulled back 19% this year, nationally.

But the number that actually matters for Sarasota sellers isn't the headline. It's who's still buying: cash-ready, relationship-driven, and Florida remains their #1 destination in the country.

Swipe through for the full picture, and what it means if you're considering selling.
