We're opening with another HOA nightmare. At Heron Bay, a 10,000-resident community spanning Coral Springs and Parkland, a fight over rental rules has turned ugly. The board dropped its two toughest landlord rules on Sept. 3, but four more are headed to mediation on Nov. 17: a one-lease-per-year limit, a ban on all short-term rentals, joint liability for tenant damage, and mandatory tenant registration. A landlord who owns 17 homes there with his partners says he's been hit with retaliatory violations, which the master board denies. Police body-cam footage allegedly captured a subdivision board president describing an effort to "throw him out," and a tenant says she has filed a HUD complaint. We'll lay out both sides, including the residents who say the rules should be even stricter, what set off the crackdown, and the one rule that could actually move home values in a community like this.More drama: on Galt Ocean Mile, a condo repair that started at $1.6M has grown to $36M, and owners are being billed up to $320K each.Then the numbers: our Q3 2026 market update for Palm Beach and Broward. Palm Beach County just hit a balanced market for the first time since the pandemic recovery, inventory is falling, and condos are taking far longer to sell than single-family homes. Plus the homestead exemption change on November's ballot.What's going up: Hollywood approved a beach overlay that lifts one site from 65 feet to 490, Ocean One broke ground on 371 luxury rentals in downtown Boynton Beach, and the $10M amenity war of car elevators, thermal baths and on-site doctors.And we close with a billionaire's bet: Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison is asking $165 million for his North Palm Beach estate, a property he bought for $80 million in 2021, never moved into, and couldn't sell at $145 million in 2022.Thinking of buying, selling, or investing in South Florida?
