The short answer is no. Waiting for major infrastructure or development announcements is rarely the strategy that produces the best outcome on 30A.
Across the Spears Group team, the approach to timing is consistent. With expertise spanning luxury resale, new development, and operations, decisions are driven by real time buyer behavior rather than headlines. The team’s visibility into both on market and off market activity provides a clearer picture of demand than public announcements ever could.
This is where Max Smith stands apart. With a background as a licensed attorney advising on complex transactions, he approaches timing as a strategic decision rather than a speculative one. Instead of waiting on future news, he focuses on what is already happening in the market including buyer demand, inventory levels, and pricing trends.
The reality is that major announcements are often priced in faster than most expect. By the time they become public, many buyers and investors have already acted. Waiting can mean entering a more competitive environment with more inventory and less leverage.
On 30A, value is driven by scarcity, lifestyle, and positioning. Properties that are well prepared and launched at the right moment tend to outperform those that wait for a perceived future catalyst.
Max’s perspective is simple. The question is not what might happen next, but what advantage you have today. In most cases, selling into current demand creates a stronger outcome than waiting for news the market may have already absorbed.
