The new and improved housing market: A reason to be thankful

11.21.16 by Gabe Sanders

The new and improved housing market: A reason to be thankful

As we all know, the holiday of Thanksgiving is the time we take a moment to count our blessings in life; which if we’re fortunate might include our family, our friends, our home, our work, our many and a sundry life blessings…

…and the housing market.

OK, so maybe you don’t spend as much time thinking about and doting on the national housing market as you do your family and friends—or we hope not, at least! Yet you have to admit that this year has witnessed the overall strengthening of the economy and an amazing turnaround in home sales—thus creating an exciting, invigorating new real estate market. Home sales are rising, prices are increasing, and mortgage rates are elevating. And, given this refreshing and encouraging change of circumstance, you yourself may be tempted to put your house up for sale.

Before you jump on the home sales bandwagon, however, pause to ask yourself some important questions first:

1. Are you indeed ready to sell your Stuart FL house? If your residence is still in good condition, still accessible to your workplace and to your children’s school, and still meeting all of your basic needs in terms of shelter and life sustenance, then you may just want to keep on living there—at least for a while.

2. Has the overall strength and solidity of the real estate market translated to your our area? In the past few months, numerous regions across the country have become virtual hot beds for real estate prosperity. From Boulder, Colo., to Bay City, Mich., to Sumter, S.C., more homes are being bought and sold at record rates. Just make sure that this aura and atmosphere of success, opportunity and prosperity has engulfed and encompassed your community. If home sales are slow and the economy weak in your town of residence, then you not wish to plunge headfirst into the local home sales market.

3. Before setting the price of your home, set some realistic expectations first. While home prices are raising, you still want to make sure that you don’t price yourself out of a profitable, top notch home sale. Place a great deal of intensive consideration into your chosen price; and if you happen to need a little help along the way….

4. Call a Realtor. You knew I’d say that, didn’t you? The fact is though that a seasoned professional real estate agent will help you navigate your way through today’s thriving but still complex housing market. Give me a call!

Fall into a New Home

11.16.16 by Gabe Sanders

Fall into a New Home

As we say goodbye to the season of summer, traditionally a time of sun and fun, we also welcome the autumn months; traditionally a time when people choose to make major decisions and changes in their lives.

During these pivotal months, you may be considering a major life move, most literally. In other words, you might be seriously contemplating the purchase of a new home.

Before you make the big move this fall, ask yourself a few important questions first:

1. Are you more restless or resolved? Some people simply grow tired of homes that are still very livable and in great condition. In this case, you might opt to remodel or in some way enhance your homestead, as opposed to selling the house outright and investing in a new residence. If on the other hand you are resolved to making a major change in your life and scene, then it may be time to buy a new home.

2. Are you still living under the influence of summer fever? When some people escape for a long, revitalizing summer vacation, they may become enamored of their vacation spot; so much so that they suddenly develop a burning desire to move to Paradise. What they need to realize, though, is that Paradise may seem just a bit less heavenly if you have to work and pay bills there—like you do back home, and in the context of your everyday life. Depending on how much it costs to reside at your dream locale, as well as the educational and occupational opportunities available there, it might not be worth it to move to Paradise. If on the other hand you truly feel that your vacation spot might also make an ideal new home, then you may wish to check out the real estate market in that area.

3. Are you ready for a major move? If you do choose to relocate to a new home this fall, you will have to find a new job or educational institution, new recreational and cultural opportunities, a new doctor and dentist, and new friends. You will have to endure the stresses of moving and establish new roots in your fresh purchased home place. Ah, but perhaps you are ready for a change and up for the challenge. If so, then fall into fall; and, if you choose, into the home of your dreams.

If you’re ready, give me a call.

There are currently 93 active condo listings (Up by 1 condos from September).

30 Condo sales are pending and awaiting close or lender approval. (Increased by 2 condos from last month)

14 Condos Sold in October (Down by 4 condos from September).

The Stuart FL 34994 Condo market moderated for last month after a pretty strong summer. This is what we expect for the condo market in this time of the year. This should continue until the first of the year when activity will pick up steam once again.

The absorption rate for October increased to 6.5 months compared to last month’s 5.1. Moving into a balanced market for this condo segment of Stuart’s 34994 zip code area. In line for summer condo activity for the area. Typically a real estate market is considered to be a balanced market with an absorption rate of 6 to 7 months. Meaning neither the buyers or sellers have an advantage in the real estate market.

Last October the numbers were 87 active listings, 28 pending sales, and 15 closed sales. Very similar activity when compared to last year.
