Yes, we still do the Xmas Countdown Tree at our house every year - even though our daughters are in their 30s and live on their own.

 

When the girls were little they would argue about whose turn it was to move the little Santa each day. Today, TK and I send a daily selfie like this one in a family group text counting down the days until Xmas. After all, it's the anticipation of any big event that is the most fun, right?

 

Which brings us to our December INSIDER - here's what we've got for you:

 

🏆 Thoughts: The Anticipation of a New Chapter

❤️ Highlights: Helpful Tips after Downsizing

🏡 Numbers: Market Update & Insights for OHCC 

 

And, don't miss TK's Takeaways below!

 

There’s something magical about December — something that reaches beyond the twinkling lights and holiday gatherings. It’s the feeling of anticipation. That quiet joy of knowing something wonderful is coming… even if you don’t know exactly when.

 

 

Waiting is part of the fun. There’s a sweetness in the buildup, in the looking forward, in the imagining of what’s ahead. And this time of year is full of that energy.

 

For many of you, the anticipation you’re feeling isn’t just about the holidays — it’s about the possibility of a new chapter in 2026. A chapter that may include finding the perfect home inside Ocean Hills Country Club… a place that fits who you are today and who you’re becoming tomorrow.

 

And if that’s you, we want you to know something from the start:

✨ We’re here to help you prepare — so you can actually enjoy the anticipation of what’s ahead.

 

Buying or selling in OHCC isn’t just a transaction. It’s a transition. It’s exciting, yes — but it can also feel overwhelming, emotional, and exhausting. Our goal is to make the entire experience feel lighter, clearer, and filled with moments you can look forward to, instead of stress over.

 

This month’s INSIDER is designed to support that spirit. Whether you’re dreaming about buying, planning to sell, or simply enjoying life inside the gates… we are grateful you’re here.

 

We built this newsletter — and our entire Ocean Hills Living platform — with one purpose: to help you feel more connected, more informed, and more supported in whatever chapter comes next.

 

Real estate activity at Ocean Hills Country Club remained steady in November with 8 homes sold compared to 10 in October. The median sale price was $939K, down from $1.03M last month. Homes moved faster in November, with a median of 13 days on market, compared to 50 days in October, although a few properties still took longer to find the right buyer.

 

Currently, there are 12 homes available for sale, slightly down from 13 in October. The median asking price is $1.1495M, compared to $1.160M last month. Active listings are averaging 33 days on market, with a median of 33 days, which shows that well-priced homes are drawing attention, while others remain on the market longer depending on condition, location and updates.

 

November remained busy. Golf course view homes (and rare) floor plans are still receiving multiple offers, which shows there are buyers waiting specifically for those locations (or floor plans) to come on the market.

 

One of the higher-end remodeled homes sold this month, which applied upward pressure on similar remodeled homes with comparable lots and features.

 

Some of the redeveloped homes sold for under asking. Some of the remodeled homes are staying on the market longer. So results are mixed in that segment right now. 

 

Pricing strategy and location both continue to play a critical role in buyer decisions.

Some developers mentioned taking a break, while others are still moving forward. Two homes that closed in November went to developers, showing that segment of the market is still active even if pacing is shifting.

 

Some buyers are now choosing to look for original homes to fix up themselves rather than purchasing a redeveloped property. This is creating more balance between renovated and original homes.

 

Overall, we are still seeing homes with multiple offers and selling at or over asking, while others are staying on the market longer and seeing price adjustments. This tells me that buyers will pay for the right location, and for well-maintained homes with nice features. But they are not willing to compromise when a home does not check the boxes that matter most. Homes that are not checking those boxes are sitting longer.

 

If you are selling it is important to make upgrades when possible and put your home in the best light. Even if your home is original, clean and well-maintained homes still sell. Buyers can tell when a home has been cared for and loved.

 

A correction to the October update. The golf course home at 4760 Galicia Way actually closed on 10/31/2025, but it was not updated in the MLS until 11/3/2025, so it was missed in last month’s numbers. This Bellagio sold for $1.2M, which was $181,000 over asking.
