Monday Market Update: Presidents, Paradise & Price Points!

Happy President’s Day from the Florida Keys!

While some people are shopping mattress sales, we’re watching something even more exciting — real estate numbers.

Last week, 72 new listings hit the market. That’s a busy week in paradise!

Prices ranged from $219,000 for a cozy mobile home all the way up to $16,900,000 for luxury island living at its finest.

That’s quite a spread.

From “starter slice of paradise” to “I’ll take the whole sandbar,” we truly have something for everyone.

🇺🇸 Presidential Trivia Time

Since it’s President’s Day, here’s your Monday Market trivia:

If George Washington bought in the Keys, would he choose:

A) A waterfront estate with a dock for his fleet
B) A low-maintenance condo with sunset views
C) A mobile home close to the boat ramp

(He was known for crossing rivers, after all…)

Drop your guess in the comments!

📊 What the Numbers Tell Us

Seventy-two new listings in one week tells us one thing:

Season is in full swing.

Inventory is giving buyers more choices. Sellers are stepping forward. And with prices stretching from the low $200s to nearly $17 million, the market remains beautifully diverse.

We are not a one-size-fits-all destination.
We are a “choose your own adventure” island chain.

🌴 How We Keep This Fresh Each Week

To keep these updates interesting, we’ll start mixing in:

• A weekly trivia question
• A “Luxury vs. Laid Back” spotlight
• A fun stat of the week
• A quick buyer or seller tip
• A “Keys Reality Check” moment

Because numbers matter.
But personality sells.

And in the Florida Keys, we have plenty of both.

If you’re thinking about buying, selling, or just curious what your slice of paradise might be worth — I’m always happy to chat.

Let’s make this a presidentially good week. 🇺🇸🌴
