A softer market rewards buyers who can move quickly. Retirees with cash on hand often ask whether to pay in full or keep some liquid. We answered that in the cash or mortgage guide, with a calculator that shows what stays liquid and what it costs to pull it back later.

What changed since 2022


The frenzy ended. Multiple offers above ask are gone for almost everything except the rare turnkey home with a new roof, updated kitchen, and a private water lot. Inventory has climbed to about 370 active listings and homes are taking around 60 to 70 days to sell. Buyers have leverage on price, repairs, closing credits, and rate buydowns, and they are using it.

Where the leverage is


  • β—†Older roofs: anything 12+ years is a negotiation point worth $5K to $15K in credit or price
  • β—†Polybutylene plumbing: common in pre-1995 homes; a re-pipe credit of $4K to $8K is fair
  • β—†Cosmetic dated interiors: sellers who refused to update before listing are now negotiating $10K to $20K credits
  • β—†Rate buydowns. 2-1 buydowns funded by sellers are working again

What is still moving fast


  • β—†Updated single-story homes under $400K with new roofs
  • β—†Pool homes on water lots in Renaissance and Sun City Center proper
  • β—†Kings Point villas with new HVAC and updated kitchens under $300K
  • β—†Anything with a true 3-car garage (rare in the original sections)

Honest seller advice


Price to the comp from the last 60 days, not from 2022. A pre-listing 4-point and wind-mit gets you ahead of the inspection negotiation. Roof age is the single biggest variable; if yours is over 15 years, plan on either replacing it or pricing for it.
