Why Coastal Homes Are Still in Demand
Despite market headlines, beach homes remain desirable because:
-
inventory near the sand is limited
-
lifestyle buyers are less rate-sensitive
-
waterfront properties historically recover faster
Buyers may be more selective, but they’re still paying premiums for well-located homes.
What’s Changed for Sellers
Today’s buyers expect:
-
realistic pricing
-
transparency
-
clean, well-presented homes
Gone are the days of “throw it on the market and name your price.” Sellers who adapt are still winning.
Sell Now vs Wait: What to Consider
You may want to sell sooner if:
-
you’ve owned long-term and have significant equity
-
your home offers strong views or location
-
you want flexibility before inventory increases
Waiting can make sense — but only with a clear strategy.
The Biggest Advantage Sellers Have in 2026
Knowledge.
Sellers who understand:
-
what buyers are paying for
-
what no longer adds value
-
how timing impacts demand
are achieving better outcomes than those guessing.
