Rental Market UpdateLeasing slowed in November as renters got pickier and inventory lingered.

Meandering through the next year or two will be interesting given increased inventory levels.

@Jorge Vazquez the hard one is some management companies are throwing-in the “ first months free!”

Inventory reached 1.55 million homes, matching a five-year high — though still below pre-COVID levels.📊 Bottom line: These closings reflect buyers shopping back in July and August, before rates began to dip.

These are concentrated in high-inventory growth areas like Horizon West, Lake Nona, and Minneola.

Not sustainably.Agents spend too much energy trying to predict what’s coming next —rates, inventory, buyer sentiment, seasonal shifts.But here’s the truth:The only market you can win in is the one you’re standing in.What worked last year may not work today.What might work six months from now is guesswork at best.You can’t build a business on forecasts and “maybes.”Top agents succeed because they focus on the present:• the buyers who are active now• the sellers who need solutions now• the strategies that work right now• the opportunities in front of them todayReal estate is not about calling the future.It’s about taking action in the present.No need to try and time the market.Start learning how to work WITH it.

Seeking answers that work across inventory types and neighborhoods isn't going to get you the specific paths you need to win a bidding war.
