The U.S. housing market now has nearly half a million more sellers than buyers, giving buyers more negotiating power in many major metros.

According to Redfin, there were 46.9% more home sellers than buyers in May, with 35 of the 50 largest U.S. metros now considered buyer’s markets. Miami is one of the strongest buyer’s markets, with an estimated 122% more sellers than buyers.

The proposal being reviewed in Tallahassee could exempt the first $150,000 of a homestead’s value from taxation in year one, and the first $250,000 the following year.

For local governments, the impact could also be meaningful. Seminole County’s property appraiser estimated a possible $409 million revenue loss in 2027 and 2028. Orange County’s general fund could be cut by 16%, and some municipalities could lose up to 30% of their revenue.

The final version may look different. It may change before voters ever see it. But this is why real estate investors need to watch more than property-level numbers. A market is shaped by taxes, schools, services, infrastructure, rental demand, and local budgets.

At SafetyNet, we underwrite beyond the property. We study the local picture before capital moves. You decide at the capital level. We handle the rest.

Central Florida new listings rose 3% in April, but inventory still fell 1.5%.

On the surface, buyers seem to have more room. Sales cooled, homes are taking around 70 days to sell, and more sellers are coming to market. But if more listings are coming in and inventory is still moving down, the market is not simply getting easier. It is becoming more selective.

The stronger properties are still being absorbed. The weaker ones are sitting longer because the price, location, condition, renovation exposure, or rental demand does not support the deal.A slower market can create better entry points, but it does not make every discounted property a good investment.

At SafetyNet, we are underwriting Central Florida with that in mind. We are looking for properties where the purchase price, rental demand, renovation plan, and long-term hold all work together.
Our investors do not need to study every zip code, manage contractors, screen tenants, or turn real estate into another job.They decide at the capital level. We handle the rest.
