What RET is watching now

Five dated signals. One useful next step for each.

Broward condos

10.2 months

More choice than house buyers have.

Buyers have more room to compare units, but shrinking inventory means that room is not guaranteed to keep widening.

September 2026

What this means for your decision

Boca Raton

78 days

A higher median is not a reason to rush.

The city headline can rise while individual sellers still negotiate.

Three months ending September 2026; all home types

What this means for your decision

South Florida luxury

407 sales

The highest price tier has a different buyer pool.

That buyer pool is less dependent on mortgage qualification. It does not establish demand for every expensive property.

Year to date September 2026; regional report

What this means for your decision

Financing

7.32%

A lower weekly rate still leaves a large financing bill.

The current payment can remain meaningfully higher than a year ago even after a better week.

Week of 22 October 2026; U.S. conventional conforming benchmark

What this means for your decision

New development

35% at signing

The timing of deposits changes the comparison.

Two homes with similar prices can tie up very different amounts of cash at the start.

Developer packages: 5 and 23 October 2026

New Development Select

A different kind of
new development guide.

The setting, the terms and the ownership proposition.

View all project dossiers ↗

Developer-supplied conceptual renderings. Plans, views and features may change.

The watch desk

Price moves. New comparables. Reasons to look again.

Explore reviewed events ↗

Evidence before opportunity

Opportunity Watch

Open the active Watch desk ↗

Four lenses. One standard of judgment.

Find the perspective that matters.

Waterfront & Yachting

Access, dock rights and the questions a waterfront label cannot answer.

Exceptional Relative Value

Asking price, similar homes and the full cost of ownership.

Private Estates

Usable land, privacy, condition and choices for future buyers.

Boca Select

Building, block and community context across Boca Raton.

A high bar for inclusion

Most properties won’t make the shortlist.

RET compares price, location, condition, likely ownership costs and future competition. A home needs a clear reason to look closer, with its drawbacks explained.

Found a property elsewhere?

Is it worth considering?

Bring RET the address, MLS number or link. A private review starts with the fit, the evidence and the questions still open.
