Market Target Update with January
Monday, 6 October, 2025
In this episode of the series, Luke Carl sits down with Emerald Coast agent January Johnson to break down a true Q4 2025 buyer’s market, where long days on market and abundant inventory are creating leverage for well-prepared buyers. January shares what wins right now—single-family homes with a private or resort-style community pool, amenity-rich condos like Edgewater and Splash, and locations south of Highway 98 with solid beach access—plus practical notes on pool costs, insurance realities, and where she’s actually finding deals.
