S5 E3 | Recovering Pinellas Real Estate with Julie Larsen

Zestimates are wrong, condos are stuck, and buyers finally have the upper hand in Tampa Bay. In this week's episode of "Money" Market, host Owen LaFave and Julie Larsen, a leading real estate agent with Michael Saunders & Company, discuss what's actually happening in Pinellas County. From hurricane recovery and flood zone distortions to why some homes are flying off the market while others sit untouched, this conversation is packed with local insight you won't find online. Julie explains why Zillow's numbers miss the mark, how condo legislation reshaped the market overnight, and why move-in-ready homes are the only sure bet right now. They dig into buyer psychology, investor behavior, luxury cash purchases, and why patience is suddenly a strategy again. If you're on the sidelines waiting to sell or clutching a Zestimate like it's gospel, this episode is your reality check. Real talk. Real numbers. Zero sugarcoating.   WATCH NEXT: REBRANDING EDUCATION IN TAMPA WITH DR.
