Your home is an investment. Know what the market is doing to it.

One short email every Monday. What mortgage rates, home prices and Florida rules are doing, and what it means for the value of what you own. Plain words. No jargon.

  • The nation
  • Florida
  • Miami-Dade

You already own the investment. Now keep an eye on it.

For most families, the home is the biggest thing they own. Rates move. Prices move. Florida rules change. The headlines are loud and rarely tell you what any of it means for you.

Know where things stand

Where mortgage rates are, where prices are heading in Miami-Dade, and how many homes are for sale.

Hear changes early

New Florida laws, insurance and tax changes that can touch your bill or your home's value. You hear it from me first.

Understand the news

I read the headlines so you do not have to. You get the short version and why it matters.

Here is what a real issue looks like.

Short paragraphs. Real numbers, each with its source. This is from the report for the week of November 2, 2026.

The Big StoryWeekly Real Estate Report, November 9, 2026

Florida voters passed Amendment 3.

It raises the homestead exemption on non school property taxes from up to $50,000 today to $150,000 in 2027, then $250,000 in 2028.

To qualify, a homeowner has to establish Florida residency by December 31, 2026.

Nothing is locked in yet. The governor plans a special session to set the rules.

The takeaway that week: two markets wearing one label. Single family homes are tight. Condos have room to negotiate.

What lands in your inbox every Monday.

  1. The big story

    The one thing that mattered most this week, and what it means for you.

  2. The nation, Florida and Miami-Dade

    Mortgage rates, jobs, inventory, insurance and local sales, in a few short lines each.

  3. By the numbers

    The handful of figures worth knowing, each one with its source.

  4. The takeaway

    One honest paragraph on what it all adds up to for a homeowner in Miami-Dade today.

Checked, or it does not go in.

Every number has a source. I open the source and confirm the figure, the date and who said it.

Quiet weeks say so. If there is little to report, I tell you instead of filling the email.

No guesses dressed up as facts. I tell you what economists are watching. You decide what to do.

Questions.

Is it really free?

Yes. It costs nothing and there is nothing to buy.

Do I have to be buying or selling?

No. Most readers just own a home and like to know what is going on. If you ever want to talk about your home, I am a call away, with no pressure.

How many emails will I get?

One every Monday morning. In your first two weeks you may also get a couple of short welcome notes from me.

Do you sell or share my email?

No. Your email stays with me. I use it to send you this report and to answer your replies.

How do I stop?

Click unsubscribe at the bottom of any email. It takes one click.
