I already lived this experiment: changing from The Bay Area's Market to San Diego's Market has been a 23 year long observation of the dichotomy of the markets. 😉 We're about 30% less expensive here...a gap that grew since the crash; when we fist moved here it may have been closer to 15% gap.

Yes to your question & that different market felt uncomfortable. Pricing took more effort, even the local agents felt different, DOM had to be closely watched, & looky-Loos weeded out

I do not marvel at the presentations; however, I do marvel at the prices. I often think, Good God, you cannot get a one-bedroom condo for that price in my market. 

Always good to explore and learn.

Not since 1990 when I moved form Chicago to Martin County, Florida. It took some time to learn the market and local lingo.

There are a few that I have taken a deep dive into, NM, CO, AK, ON.

Well driving in the deep end of a new area I think some Realtor would do but I like in my areas I know the best.

My 2026 focus will be new and pre construction condo towers in metro Fort Lauderdale, Miami and Palm Beach.  The company I transitioned to is marketing 30 properties in this niche.  5 in my county, 19 in Miami and 7 in Palm Beach.

This does not include other ultra luxury developers and boutique buildings

I visited 12 properties to date.

I am writing an ebook.

Purchase a zoom channel to host webinars and face to face meetings.

Contacting out of state agents who have current relationships with those buyers for a 25% referral fee.

OH..the worst is technology learning a new CRM ReChat.  Cannot wait to hire a virtual assistant to handle back office while I do the foot work I am passionate about.😎

I have from time to time, after going on vacation.  I've looked into some areas for vacation homes over the years, but eventually opted against it.

I've gotten involved with things other than my traditioal residential 1-4 units when a client needed assistance.  I've dabbled in land and mobile homes dnd even modular homes at times but never more than at the time when helping a client.
