This Thanksgiving season, I just have to say how grateful I feel. First up, a huge shoutout to my husband, Aaron, who keeps our YouTube channels running, helps keep me fed, and always gets me through the stressful days. I couldn’t do any of this without him!
Â
And to my clients…wow. You all are seriously the best. Every single one of you feels like a friend, and that makes my job so rewarding and abundant. I’m feeling full, grateful, and maybe just a little spoiled by all this amazing energy in my life.Â
Â
Here’s to good people, good vibes, and lots of pumpkin pie! Wishing you all a lovely and relaxing holiday!
We had so much fun bringing this space to life! The bathroom got a full makeover with a larger shower (trust me, you’ll want to see the before…it’s night and day). Every detail was updated to make your stay comfortable, stylish, and a little slice of Key West paradise.

Ok, hold your breath… below you can see a small glimpse of the BEFORE!

Key Takeaways: October 2025
Sales held steady with the same number of closed transactions as last October (60 → 60), showing that demand is still present even in a slower-paced environment.
Days on market increased, with the average jumping from 92 → 107 days (+16%). Homes are taking longer to move as buyers evaluate more options.
Active listing pricing softened, with both average and median list prices down slightly (–3.01% and –3.63%).
New listings climbed 28.9%, adding fresh inventory, while active listings increased 11.1%, giving buyers more choices than this time last year.
Madeleine’s Market Interpretation
October’s numbers continue to show a market in transition-- not declining, but recalibrating:
Buyers have more leverage than last year thanks to higher inventory, more days on market, and slight list-price softening. They’re being thoughtful and selective, not rushed.
Sellers should focus on realistic pricing. Overpricing leads to extended DOM in this environment. Well-priced homes are still selling.
Demand remains steady. Sales volume hasn’t dropped, and pending activity is holding. Buyers are active, they’re just more value-driven than last fall.
Overall, October reflects a balanced market with a slight tilt toward buyers, setting the tone for a measured, steady end to the year.
Who else made it off the rock for the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show?? We had such a blast manning the Koah booth, catching up with old friends, meeting new faces, and swapping plenty of fish stories. My husband Aaron was in his element, sharing his expertise on the spearguns he has trusted and even helped design for over 15 years.
Â
We even had a little corner to showcase our own merch, which made the day extra special. It is always such a good time when this community comes together in a setting as vibrant as this one.
Â
If you are shopping for a new speargun, definitely check out Koah’s inventory. They are the real deal!
