Real Estate Elevated | What's happening Now?

Increased Inventory. Steady Prices. Off-market Deals.

The summer season is heating up—and so is buyer activity. Here’s a quick look at the latest trends:

- Inventory is gradually increasing, giving buyers more options—but quality homes in prime condition are still moving quickly.

- Average sale prices remain steady, with strong demand for waterfront homes and renovated mid-century properties.

- We’re seeing more off-market activity, especially for homes with unique character, waterfront land and prime golf course views.

Properties in Normandy with updated interiors and outdoor entertaining spaces are commanding a premium. So if you're considering selling this summer, timing and presentation are everything.

Wondering how to get started and price your property for today's market —I'm here to guide you. Let’s connect.

Hurricane Season is Here | Be ready, stay safe

June marks the start of hurricane season in South Florida, and preparation is key—especially in our waterfront communities. Here’s a quick checklist to stay storm-ready:

- Review Your Insurance: Ensure your homeowners and flood policies are current—and understand your coverage.

- Trim Trees + Secure Loose Items: Coastal winds can turn outdoor furniture and branches into hazards.

- Emergency Kit Essentials: Stock up on batteries, bottled water, non-perishables, flashlights, and first-aid supplies.

- Document your belongings: Take clear photos or videos of your home and valuables for insurance and record-keeping purposes.

- Evacuation Plan: Know your zone, have a go-bag ready, and map out your evacuation route in advance.

- Stay Informed: Follow trusted sources like @MiamiDadeEM and the National Hurricane Center for updates.

🏡 Pro Tip: If you're a seasonal resident or landlord, consider having a local contact or property manager in place to secure your home quickly if a storm approaches.

Local Dining Spotlight | Sumak Turquish Cuisine

Sumak Brings Turkish Flair to Normandy Isles.

I had the pleasure of dining at Sumak a few times, our neighborhood’s not so hidden gem, and it’s safe to say—this place is a five-star standout.

From the moment you walk in, the warm hospitality makes you feel like you're a guest in someone’s home rather than a restaurant. The menu is a celebration of authentic Turkish cuisine, with each dish crafted from classic Aegean, Mediterranean, and Ottoman recipes. The lamb köfte was a standout—juicy, perfectly spiced, and grilled over their wood charcoal fire for that incredible smoky flavor. I also loved the stuffed cracked-wheat meatballs—comforting and full of character.

For something shareable, don’t skip the mezze platter, which pairs beautifully with their curated selection of Mediterranean wines. And if you’re looking to elevate the evening, try the Turkish coffee martini—rich, aromatic, and just the right kick to close out the meal.

Whether you sit inside among the earthy textures or at its outside patio, Sumak delivers a memorable dining experience that feels both refined and relaxed. Sumak is more than just a restaurant, it’s our neighborhood’s passport to the vibrant flavors of Turkey.

Located at 908 71st St., Miami Beach. Your neighborhood has flavor. Go taste it.
