The Stuart FL 34994 Condo market entered the summer doldrums for the month for July of 2016.  Closed sales were down significantly while pending sales remained strong on reduced inventory levels.

The absorption rate for July jumped to 7.4 months compared to last month’s 2.8.  Popping back into a buyers’ condo segment of Stuart’s 34994 zip code area.  This is not totally unexpected as condo sales often slow down during the summer months.  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 July the numbers were 84 active listings, 23 pending sales, and 20 closed sales.   Better closed numbers for 2015, but pending sales are a bit better this year and it’s with less inventory.

Sewalls Point Single Family Market Report July 2016

The single family real estate market in Sewalls Point for July showed a big decrease in closed sales for July.  Pending sales look good, however, and I expect these sales figures to improve in the coming months.  The inventory of available homes is up from last year but down from last month.

The current absorption rate exploded to 34.5 months, in June it was 7.6 months. An unfortunate slowdown for Sewall’s point, but possibly an opportunity for buyers.  A 6 to 7 month absorption rate is considered a balanced market where neither the seller nor buyer have an advantage.

Comparing the results to July of 2014, the inventory was 58 homes on the market, 12 pending sales and there were 5 closed sales. Better numbers last year, even though we have a greater inventory now.

‘Rummage’ before you sell

rummage sale

Are you planning a home sale? Are you ready to relocate, moving your family, along with all of your goods and possessions, to the house of your dreams? Well if so, then you may wish to host another variety of sale first; or, to be more specific, a rummage sale.

How on earth could these two entirely different types of sales be related? Well think about it; if you are indeed about to move all of your goods and possessions to another location, then it might be helpful to have fewer of those goods and possessions to move. And while you no doubt will throw out certain older items that have little to no monetary value, you may wish to gather up the rest and put them up for sale at a good old fashioned, rummage style event.

Indeed, the theory of rummaging before you resell actually offers a number of benefits and advantages. And, very conveniently, we’ve listed just a few of them here:

1. Instead of having to move all your stuff, you instead can move only some of your stuff; unloading the stuff that you don’t use anymore onto people who might want or even need said stuff. So just what kind of stuff are we referencing? Well that brings us to our next point…

2. You can sell just about anything at a rummage sale. The items you offer could include clothing, collectibles, kitchen appliances, furniture, dinner and serving ware, lamps and lighting fixtures, carpets and rugs, artwork of every variety, home theater devices that range from televisions to DVD players to stereos, toys, books and magazines, etc.

3. A rummage sale is a rudimentary form of house cleaning. Once you sell some of the extra stuff you have lying around the house, then your home will appear cleaner and less cluttered. This can only benefit you when you post your home for sale, as an orderly, more attractive residence is an infinitely more sellable one.

4. A rummage sale will attract many guests to your home. Indeed, many people consider rummaging to be their primary weekend activity. And as guests flood your home to clear it of unwanted goods, they also might take a liking to the store itself—i.e., the home that you eventually intend to sell. The same person who buys your 20 year issue of Bass Fishing Monthly also might be interested in buying the house from which it was sold. Who’d a thunk it?

The Art of Real Estate Sales

The Art of Real Estate Sales

real estate

So are you what they call an artiste? Someone who has a particular flair for painting a portrait, writing a story, or delivering a stirring performance on a public stage? Well if the answer to any or all of these questions is yes, then let us ask you another question: Could it be that, as an artist, you might just make a really good Realtor?

Your first and very emphatic answer to this question might just be, “No!” The fact remains, however, that ‘artist types’ also can make really good ‘Realtor types.’ And in a vast variety of ways. Still don’t believe us? Well read on….

1. If you can draw a picture, then you can draw a rendering. Many real estate listings come complete with defined, high quality illustrations of the home up for sale. Commonly known as renderings, these miniature works of art can be an essential tool in presenting and—yes—selling a home.

2. If you can write an article, then you can write a real estate blog. As a Realtor you can use your onsite blogging tool to write short pieces about homes you have for sale, as well as about other aspects of and news about your business. In addition, you can pen real estate columns for other websites, and for magazines and newspapers, that will draw attention to you and your business. For while it is true that a picture says a thousand words, a thousand words also can say—well, a thousand words!

3. If you can write product descriptions or descriptive essays, then you can write a real estate listing. A listing basically amounts to an ad for a home, as it describes the house itself and lists particulars regarding its square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, traits and amenities, residential style, etc. If you can ‘write what sells,’ then your writing most definitely can sell a home.

4. If you can snap a high quality photograph, then a model home just might prove to be your ultimate ‘photographer’s model’. And as just about every home listing—whether in print or online—comes complete with a high definition photograph, a Realtor who also happens to be a photographer has two talents going for them—at least!

5. If you can deliver a stirring persuasive monologue on stage, then you also can use your powerful voice and winning demeanor to sell a home. As an actor or actress, chances are that you’ve already developed the oratorical skills to make the winning sales pitch. Olivier would be proud!

So, it this is something you would consider, give me a call and see if joining the Stuart FL real estate team would be the right choice for you.
