The Exit Test asks ten practical questions. Rivage's 56 homes help frame privacy and competing choices. Boca's dated list of 1,202 approved residences raises questions about future competition. A 55-foot bridge clearance matters to boat access. The $10M example's assumed $347,000 annual costs show what a longer wait to sell could cost. Each answers a different buying question.
Use the carrying-cost scenarios for explicit assumptions; use verified property comparisons for a real ask. The 86% cash share in regional $10M-plus sales suggests the buyer pool is less mortgage-sensitive, but does not remove annual-cost or resale competition risk.

What Future Supply Means for Resale
Look at the homes and services a future buyer could choose instead. Not every new project will compete with this home.
