In this November 2025 episode of State of the Market, Dewayne Carpenter breaks down the real story behind the proposed 50-year mortgage, the surprising 26% surge in pending sales, and why nearly half of all Melbourne listings are still reducing prices. Learn what this means for buyers and sellers across the Space Coast—and why trying to “time the market” is still the biggest mistake people make in real estate. With pending sales nearly matching spring-season levels, buyer activity is strong—but pricing continues to show unpredictability. Dewayne explains why headlines shouldn’t make your decisions for you, and why your personal readiness matters more than market noise.
