Now, Skykes, whose firm showcases multimillion-dollar deals in both Florida and the Northeast, said she's watching two Americas diverge in real time. In the Northeast, she's seeing bidding wars have returned in commuter suburbs like Monmouth County, N.J., and mid-Long Island, where buyers still fight for an acre and an elite school district. In Florida, by contrast, she described a market in withdrawal, nursing a hangover after a flurry of activity. "Just a couple years ago, we were being love-bombed and told how great we were," she said, citing Florida's burgeoning status as "Wall Street South," a new finance hub. Now, things are "flat" or even heading downward.
