New listings jumped more than 43% this week, pending contracts also moved higher, and median prices continued climbing. But at the same time, homes are taking significantly longer to sell.

Why are buyers so picky right now?

Buyers in Pembroke Pines suddenly seem a lot more picky lately but there’s actually a reason for it.

In today’s Ask Mike article, we break down why higher rates changed buyer behavior, why homes needing work are struggling more than ever, and why today’s buyers are making decisions with spreadsheets instead of emotion.

The market hasn’t stopped moving.

But buyers are thinking very differently than they were a few years ago.

Can a $179K condo works as a rental?

A few years ago, a condo like this probably would’ve been an easy investor decision.

Today? Not so much.

This week’s Deal of the Week takes a real look at a $179K condo in near Pembroke Pines already rented for $1,900/month, and whether the numbers actually hold up as a long term buy and hold investment in today’s South Florida market.

The deal looks decent at first glance. But once you start factoring in HOA fees, financing costs, insurance, and the realities of Florida condo ownership, the conversation gets a lot more interesting.

I break down where the deal works, where it gets risky, and why the smartest investors right now are spending less time chasing hype and more time trying to avoid expensive surprises.

Memorial Day weekend in Pembroke Pines is starting to feel a lot like summer.

This week’s Weekend Watch takes a look at a few open houses across the city, from townhomes under $500K to single family homes approaching the $1M mark, and what those listings say about where buyers are focusing right now.

We’re also highlighting some local events happening around town this weekend, including the city’s Memorial Day Ceremony, a live concert at the Charles F. Dodge City Center, and one of the more interesting art exhibits currently running locally.

And for once, the weather actually looks pretty decent too.

This week’s Local Spotlight takes a closer look at Lakeside South, one of the more quietly established neighborhoods in Pembroke Pines.

It’s not the flashiest community in the city, and that’s part of the reason people like it.

We break down what makes the neighborhood feel different from a lot of newer South Florida communities, why buyers are starting to value established neighborhoods differently, and how the conversation around “what makes a good neighborhood” has shifted as the market changes.

Because sometimes the neighborhoods people stay in the longest aren’t the trendiest ones.

They’re the ones that simply work well for everyday life.
