The Gift of a New Home

The Gift of a New Home

As we all begin the long and involved process of shopping for the Christmas season, we may find ourselves challenged to come up with just the right gift for just the right person on our holiday gift giving list. Should the gifts that you bestow on friends and family this year take the form of electronics, baked goods, handmade tokens of your great and deepest affection, or a new house?

That’s correct, you read it right. If you currently have both the desire and the means to indulge in such a major investment, then the gift of a new home is perhaps the most personal and meaningful gift that you can give anyone on your Christmas list this year, up to and including….

1. Your spouse. If you and your spouse have been looking to relocate, and you know that he/she has a specific type of home in mind, then you might consider purchasing the house just before the holidays—then slipping the front door key inside their Yuletide stocking as it hangs by the fireplace. Or, even better yet, take them for a drive to see some homes that have been brightly decorated for Christmas—including your new place! This is one Christmas that the two of you will never forget!

2. Your children. The gift of a new home just may be the ultimate expression of familial love; and at different times throughout the course of your life, you might find reason or cause to gift your offspring with this life-changing token of your love and devotion. You and your spouse might surprise the kids with the news that you’re about to affect a new and exciting change of scene in your family. Or at a later date, you might buy a home that they themselves will inhabit with their own new and growing family—or perhaps just occupy themselves.

3. Your parents. Often when people reach a certain level of success in life, they may choose to give back to the people who raised and educated them. They may choose even to buy a place for their parents to rest and retire; finding the ultimate was to say “Thank you” for all that Mom and Dad have done for them. And if these precious people in their lives need a little extra care, they might even choose to buy a large house in which the whole family can live. You might as well make it a holiday house!

If you’re looking to give such a wonderful gift in or around Stuart, FL, give me a call.

Prices, however, continue their upward march at strong rates. The median and average sales prices up by 12.0% and 13.4% respectively from last October (For September these numbers were up 10.0% and 10.6%). While these are very good results for sellers, they make me a little nervous as rates of increase this high may result in lower affordability of homes and subsequently less sales in the future.

Active listings increased by 14 homes to 1,685 homes. This inventory is 8.2% higher than last year. The current supply of homes is at 3.8 months (3.4 months for October of 2015) This is 11.8% greater than last year.

Florida Townhouses and Condos October 2016 Market Detail

The Florida Townhouses and Condos Market Detail for October 2016 showed continued weakness as compared to last year for sales. Closed sales were down by 12.3% as compared to last months decrease of 3.9% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 14.5% (In September there was a 5% decrease).

Values, however, continued to increase though at a more moderate pace. Median sales prices were up by 8.1% (was up by 6.7% in September), while the average sales price increased by 0.5% (was down 2.9% in September). As sales activity decreases and if inventory continues to increase, I expect these prices to continue to moderate.

The inventory increased by 8.2% from October of last year. For September 2016 we have 5.9 months of inventory (was 5.8 months in September) and compared to 5.3 for October 2015.

Should I Stay or Should I Go?

11.27.16 by Gabe Sanders

Should I Stay or Should I Go?

If you are planning an open house, you as a home owner may find yourself humming the chorus of that old classic Clash song, “Should I Stay or Should I Go?”

Why? Well for one, the Clash is totally awesome. For another, you as an individual making a concerted effort to sell your home may be wondering if you should stay on site for the occurrence of your open house event; or if in fact you should hightail it to a restaurant, shopping mall or movie theater for the duration of the event. Well before you answer that question, you first must resolve several others:

1. What is the opinion of your real estate agent? You just knew we’d mention that one, didn’t you? It is important, though, to consult your Realtor about whether or not you should remain with them on site at the home, or whether you should—to use the most technical terminology possible—vamoose.

2. Do you have kids and pets? If so, leave as quickly as possible—and take them with you! Seriously, though; the answer to this question depends entirely on the age and temperament of both your kids and your pets. Do your pets bite? Do your small children bite? Are both properly house trained? If your children and your animals are well behaved and unobtrusive, then it would be probably be fine to remain with them in the home for the duration of your open house. Otherwise, you may wish to leave and take them with you throughout the event.

3. Are you prepared to answer questions about your home? As a home owner, people will naturally approach you with questions about any and all aspects of your residence. Are you willing and prepared to answer them, in all honesty and to the best of your ability?

4. Are you prepared to hear criticisms of your home? If you stay on site for the duration of your open house, then you may overhear some not so nice things about your house. Even the most beautiful, well-kept residence may garner criticism from particular home buyers; some of which they may say behind your back but within your earshot, while other comments might be stated directly to your face. Either way, be prepared for them. And try your darnedest not to deck the guy.

Once you answer all of these questions, then you should be able to determine whether to stay—or whether to go!

Florida Single Family Homes October 2016 Market Detail

Florida Single Family Homes October 2016 Market Detail

The Florida Single Family Homes Market Detail for October 2016 showed weaker sales activity from last year. Closed sales were down by 5.3% (was down by 0.5% in September) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) were down by 7.1% (was down by 4.8% in September).

Both the median and average sales prices, though, continue to rise from October 2015 to October 2016. Up by 11.7% and 6.4% respectively, compared to September’s 11.3% and 6.8%. I continue to predict the rate of price increases to moderate in the near future if sales continue to slow and this should also result in a rise of inventory.

The inventory of available homes for sale fell by 3.2% from last year. For October there was only a 4.2 months supply of inventory as Florida remains in a sellers market with the advantage for sellers. (October of 2015 had a 4.3 month supply) A balanced market favoring neither buyers or sellers is considered to be one with a 6 to 7 month supply of inventory.

Hobe Sound FL 33455 Condo Market Report October 2016

Hobe Sound Real Estate Snapshot for ZIP Code 33455, Condo Sales for October 2016

For October 2016 in the 33455 Zip Code area of Hobe Sound, Florida :

There are currently 6 active condo listings. (Up by 1 condos from September)

1 Condos are pending and awaiting close. (Down by 2 pending condos from September)

1 Condos sold in October. (Decreased by 2 closed sales from September)

The Hobe Sound condo market (Zip Code 33455) is the smallest segment of the Martin County real estate market. Inventory levels are at all time lows and it is quite remarkable that there is as much activity as there is in this small segment of the Martin County real estate market.

For October, 2016 the absorption rate is 6 month (it was 1.7 months in September). Absorption rates in this segment of the Martin County real estate market should be taken with a liberal grain of salt, as small changes in activity make for very large changes on percentages that October not reflect a true trend in the market. An absorption rate of 6 to 7 months is considered to be a balanced market favoring neither the buyer or seller.

The October 2015 numbers were: 4 active listings, 0 pending sales and 3 closed sales. It’s very difficult to make meaningful comparisons with such low numbers of sales and inventory.
