The Matty Miller Podcast

Rising interest rates have social media convinced the housing market is about to fall apart. In July, rates sat in the mid-6s, and Northeast Florida was moving at a pretty balanced pace. In this video, I run the numbers on a $450,000 Jacksonville home to show what today’s rates really do to your monthly payment and your buying power. Watch the video to see why I think the panic is overblown and how buyers and sellers should respond.

If you're selling a condo or townhome in Jacksonville right now and it's sitting, the problem may not be your listing. I had a Southside unit where the comps moved under us mid-listing, and I had to rerun the numbers to see it. In this video I walk through exactly what those numbers did over 90 days, and the one pricing decision that keeps a seller from chasing a falling market down. The average price per square foot on those comps moved enough that our original pricing was outdated inside of three months. Watch the video before you set a price on anything in that range.

If your home has had a few showings and no offers, you're probably wondering what's going wrong. One of my sellers recently listed $15,000 above my number, watched five weeks go by without an offer, and then called me to apologize. In this video, I walk through exactly how that sale played out and the two things that finally got it closed in a slower market. Watch my video to see how the story ends.

Football is finally back, the Jaguars are rocking and rolling, and I'm running my season-prediction giveaway again. All you have to do is predict the Jaguars' regular-season record, and I'll track it through the year for a big prize at the end. In this video, I walk through how to enter, how the prize package works, and how it can climb to $500 as more people jump in. It's quick, it's fun, and I'm not even talking real estate today, just football. Watch the video to see how to get your prediction in.

Real estate isn't HGTV, and not every deal is hunky dory. On one of my Jacksonville listings, a buyer came in with a great offer, then the septic inspection turned up a blown-out tank that nobody could have predicted. In this video, I walk through exactly how we handled a septic failure that added weeks and thousands of dollars to a sale, and how being upfront kept everyone at the table. It's a real look at the kind of curveball that shows up in almost every deal. Watch my video to see how we got it across the finish line.

Picture finding a home you love, only to feel like you're about to overpay for it. That's exactly where my buyers were on an overpriced Jacksonville listing, until we made a move most people would be too nervous to try. In this video, I break down the $15,000 gamble we took by walking away from the deal, why reading the current market matters more than the comps, and how it won my clients the home at our original offer. It's a real story about what having the right agent in your corner can actually do for you. Watch my video to see how the gamble played out.

It's the middle of summer, the market's a little slower, and if you're thinking about selling your Jacksonville home, the game has changed. We're well past the post-COVID boom where you could slap a sign in the yard and field five offers by the weekend. We're in a balanced market now, and that means sellers have to walk in prepared. In this video, I break down the three questions you absolutely need to answer before you list, from pricing in today's market to handling concession requests and competing with new construction. Watch my video so you know exactly what to expect before you make your move.

Thinking about buying a home in Jacksonville and not totally sure what you're walking into? This is Part 2 of my buyer roadmap, picking up right where the eight stages of buying left off. In this video, I break down how I represent you as a single agent, how to sort your must-haves from your wants, why location in a city this size is a loaded question, and every cost you should expect from inspections to insurance. Watch my video for the full breakdown before you start your search.

Whether you're a first-time buyer or you just haven't purchased a home in a while, the process can feel overwhelming when you don't know what to expect at each stage. I put together a road map that covers every step from pre-approval to closing day, specifically for buyers in the Northeast Florida market. In this video, I walk you through what happens at each phase, what the costs look like, how long things take, and what to watch for so nothing catches you off guard. Watch my video to see the full breakdown.

If you're a seller in Jacksonville right now, the market looks a lot different than it did two or three years ago. Buyers have more options, more time, and more room to negotiate, and that changes the game for anyone trying to sell. In this video, I break down the three things sellers need to get right if they want their home sold in this market, not sitting. Watch my video to get the honest version of what it takes to sell right now.
