Monday Market Update: A Fresh Start for 2026

Happy New Year! The calendar has flipped, the confetti has settled, and the Florida Keys real estate market is officially stepping into 2026 with fresh energy.

Over the past week, 48 new listings came on the market, giving buyers a nice selection to kick off the year. At the same time, 21 properties closed, welcoming 21 lucky new homeowners to island life. Not a bad way to start the year!

Season is in full swing, and our islands are buzzing. Restaurants are packed, boats are back on the water, and the beaches are full of smiling faces. History tells us that many visitors fall in love with the Keys during this time of year—and some of them decide they never want to leave. Visitors often become locals, and January is when that spark often starts.

While the market is still finding its rhythm after the holidays, this is a healthy and encouraging start to the year. New listings are coming online, buyers are moving forward, and momentum is building as we head deeper into our busiest season.

If buying or selling in the Florida Keys is on your list of New Year’s resolutions, now is a great time to start the conversation. A fresh year brings new opportunities—and sometimes, a new address.

Here’s to a bright, busy, and successful 2026 in the Florida Keys real estate market! 🥂🌴
