When I met with Jeni Snider, Estate Planner in the Triangle area of NC and asked her to be my next speaker, I asked her to cover the “5 - Year Look Back period” as it pertains to Seniors, Real Estate, and Long term care planning. It was a topic we touched on in the mastermind on aging with Allison O'Shea back in January. Not knowing what else to ask for, Jeni blew my mind with stories of what other people who don’t know better do when they DIY their estate planning. When I say stories, I mean nightmares. These nightmares directly impact Realtors, their sellers, and buyers. What YOU don’t know, what your clients don’t know can royally blow up your Real estate deals. Be a better guide, resource, and informed professional by learning what to look for, ask, and how to get proper help! Come next week to Beyond Transactions, April 21st, 11am to 1:00pm.

In a world quick to criticize, I want to take a moment to shine a light on the community champions who live among us: REALTORS®. These dedicated professionals do more than help people find homes—they are the backbone of our communities and the guardians of the American Dream. REALTORS® adhere to a code of ethics that embodies integrity and commitment. They volunteer their time tirelessly, weaving the fabric of our neighborhoods tighter with every act of service. They stand for inclusivity, ensuring that the doors to homeownership—and the opportunities that come with it—are open to all. They’re fierce defenders of private property rights, protecting homeowners against unfair laws threatening our freedom to own a home. Whether you’ve used a REALTOR® in your journey to homeownership or not, their advocacy and efforts have likely contributed to the wealth you’ve gained from owning a home. They continue to fight for everyone’s right to achieve that dream, strengthening our communities and making them more inclusive. Please take a moment to recognize these unsung heroes for all their hard work behind the scenes and thank a REALTOR®. They’re not just part of the process—they’re essential to keeping the American Dream of homeownership alive and securing a brighter future for generations to come. -Merri Perry, President, Las Vegas REALTORS #ThankAREALTOR #CommunityChampions #AmericanDream #HomeOwnershipForAll #morethensellinghomes #RealtorsAreGoodNeighbors #BeMerri

🔑🏡 Master-Planned Communities in Florida: Thriving Despite Sales Decline? 📈🌴 Did you know that four master-planned communities in Florida have made it to the top 50 list for sales in 2023? 🌟🏆 This highlights the enduring appeal and strength of the Florida real estate market, even in the face of challenging times. Let's dig deeper into these fascinating findings! 💡 📍 The Villages, a retirement mega-community, secured the top spot on both lists. Impressive, right? 📍 Viera in Brevard County and Latitude Margaritaville in Daytona Beach also made their mark, ranking 20th and 30th respectively. 📍 Sunbridge, spanning Osceola and Orange County near St. Cloud, entered the rankings for the first time, proving its potential as an up-and-coming community. While the number of home sales was a key criterion for these rankings, it's worth noting that the concept of a master-planned community differs between the lists. 📊 Interestingly, despite a decline in sales, The Villages still outperformed the second best-selling community in the nation by a significant margin. Talk about resilience! 💪 🌟 Florida's Strength Shines Through 🌟 The lists also shed light on Florida's appeal as a top destination for master-planned communities. Around 40% of sales among the top-ranked communities occurred right here in the Sunshine State, closely followed by Texas at nearly 37%. It's clear that Florida's allure is undeniable! 🌞 Let's celebrate the success of these communities and the Florida real estate market. With five of the top 10 communities in the nation, the future looks promising. 🎉📈 #FloridaRealEstate #MasterPlannedCommunities #FloridaLiving #RealEstateMarket #FloridaSales #TopRankings

I have yet to meet anyone who disagrees with the need to increase the supply of affordable homeownership, yet I suspect that housing market supply-side dynamics feel inaccessible to folks like us who want to make a difference. Standard construction models and financing are entrenched to the point of tradition, making alternatives seem unlikely. I get it. Lifting the stats into the light rallies our collective concern and desire to do something, but what can we really do - particularly in the short run? It’s a hard landscape to clear. Do we need:   - better mortgage rates/ programs/marketing coverage? - increased access to viable downpayment assistance? - municipalities supporting the proliferation of middle housing? - alternative governance models (Ex. Cooperatives, etc.) - subsidy varieties with expanded utility to span financing gaps? - funders that care to understand in their bones, beyond the documents and trends, that current systems are inadequate? - legislators who use their power and talents to aid modest-income families with down-to-earth economic mobility?   Hell yes, we want them all! AND the whole lot will continue to be complex. However, I submit that without a robust housing inventory at our foundation, many of the ingenious tactics available in the modern development space remain unavailable and unable to be activated. Ultimately, our homeownership goals hinge on this fact. That's why I'm at Homestead Community Land Trust (CLT) to establish precedents that will take us into an equitable future where formerly excluded Black and brown communities can get a shot at intergenerational financial wellness and withheld rights that were intentionally protected to benefit one exclusive group. Check out CLTs and how they are one option that can be the change.
