Facts About Florida Keys Market

What Do the Numbers Forecast?

The continuing trend indicated by a rising number of properties listed for sale coupled with a declining number of sales leads us to expect the market to eventually experience decreasing average sale
prices. That historic relationship has been countered, however, by an increase in the number of
sales and average sale price within the luxury property market of $1M+ properties, as shown in our Fall/Winter Luxury Island Properties Report.  With 14% fewer buyers having 17% more properties to choose among, the trend of fewer sales will continue as there is an immutable relationship between listings and sales: When listings increase, sales decrease, and vice versa. 

The question remains, “What caused this market slowdown?”  First, a large portion of the Keys real estate market consists of vacation home and second home sales.  Nationally, that sector is down over 18.5% and the Florida vacation market is down 5% according to National Association of Realtors
reports released in April of this year.  (The next update will be released at the end of October.)
Second, the turmoil of the fall elections coupled with general global economic uncertainty appears to have created a cautious attitude regarding discretionary spending on real estate.  Many, if not most markets nationwide, are experiencing reduced numbers of sales as a result of these factors.

FSBO's: There is an 89% chance that a seller will end up listing with a REALTOR® once they have exhausted doing it on their own. Once homeowners realize how much work it actually takes to sell a house they will also appreciate getting more money for their listing because an average listing sold by a REALTOR®typically nets more than $46,000 when compared to a FSBO. Ask yourself - if you could get that much more for your home, would yo still try to sell it on your own?We have been asked many times - “How long is it going to take to sell my home?”. Well, the quick answer is: it depends on… Certain factors like the current market conditions are going to have a significant impact on the time it takes to find the right buyer. Every market has three types of market conditions. It could either be a seller’s market, buyer’s market or when everything is just normal is called a balanced market. 

Pricing your home accurately is going to have the largest impact on the length that your home is going to be listed for on the market. If you choose to ignore the pricing advice of your REALTOR®, then you might as well anchor down and be prepared to be showing your home for a very long time.

Brexit! Unique Florida Keys Homes 305-395-0814

This summer is shaping up to be the best year in a long time to sell your home. 

There is a very strong demand from homebuyers and very few homes on the market compared to a few years ago.  (550-850K) price range

This is driving up prices and creating multiple offers, especially in entry and middle tier homes here locally in Marathon. 
The Federal Reserve hinted at raising interest rates in June, but they didn’t because “economic activity appears to have slowed.” While this may be true for our economy as a whole, it’s not true for home prices. If you’ve been paying attention to the “Brexit” news as well, it’s now even cheaper for buyers to get a mortgage. Rates have just dropped considerably and are now at three-year lows. 

All together – with the relatively few homes for sale in Marathon and neighborhood, record low interest rates, quickly appreciating prices, and the future uncertainty of our economy as a whole – now is a great time to get your maximum selling price. 

Here’s my reason for writing you today… 

I purchased access to all the local Marathon home sale data for you. It’s just been updated with the latest spring and summer home sale information for your neighborhood. 

Enter your home address here to instantly find out what it's worth this summer. Click HERE

This nifty home value calculator will estimate your current home value based on your recent neighborhood sales prices and the economic trends we’re seeing in your area. Now, it won’t be perfectly accurate, but it’s close. 

If you’re reading this on your mobile phone, snap a few pictures of your home – especially your kitchen and bathrooms – and reply to this email with them. 

I can quite accurately predict your home selling price over the phone this way. 
So,check out the free home value tool. Now is a great time to find out what your home is worth given all the appreciating home prices in our city. 

Call me at 305-395-0814 if you are thinking about selling your home this year. I’m here to help. 

You can also search all homes for sale on the local MLS just like I do if you want to buy a home. 

Stay cool this summer!
