Spring Market is Here — Are You Ready?

Whether you're buying your first home or selling after years of ownership, this spring market in Pembroke Pines is heating up fast.

But the rules of the game have changed.

A recent article from USA Today breaks down six key things to keep in mind this season — and if you’re serious about making a move, this is a must-read.

The Takeaway

  1. Buyers, don’t assume prices will crash
    Yes, mortgage rates are up — but inventory is still tight, especially in places like Pembroke Pines where demand remains steady.

  2. Sellers, don’t overprice
    Even with low supply, buyers are cautious. Pricing too high = sitting too long = fewer offers.

  3. Know your non-negotiables
    Be clear on what matters most — whether it’s a pool, a commute, or school zones. Flexibility helps you move fast.

  4. Cash isn’t always king anymore
    In some cases, financed offers are just as competitive — especially when terms are strong and clean.

  5. Prep for the process emotionally
    Buyers: you may lose a house before landing the right one. Sellers: it might take a few showings to land the perfect offer. Deep breaths — it’s normal.

  6. Get expert guidance
    A seasoned local agent (👋) can help you read the market, price smart, and avoid costly mistakes.
