Hammock Creek 5 BR Pool Homes For Sale in Palm City, Florida

A Proactive Approach

09.25.10 by

Typically, homeowners will spend weeks preparing their home for sale, rushing to repair the roof or drafty windows or electrical issues, or old appliances (not to mention rushing to the bank to cover the costs of getting the home in model condition).  However, there is another novel approach to making your home appeal to buyers, and it’s called preventative maintenance.

In other words, starting from this day, look at your home as a prospective buyer would.  If you would repair or improve certain features of your home for them, then why not for yourself?

Even new homeowners will one day find themselves on the selling side of the table.  It may be difficult to look that far into the future, but life can throw some curve balls that might precipitate a move sooner than you had expected.  A growing family, job transfer, or health issues are just a few of the changes that could lead to your decision to downsize, upsize, or relocate to another city.

Keep in mind that any small problems around your home will ultimately develop into bigger ones if neglected and that it’s always easier and less expensive to fix the small problem earlier on.  Get proactive and enjoy living in a home that is always in selling condition.  When the time eventually comes to move, you’ll be really glad you did!

Residential Market Report for August 2010 in Martin County, Florida

09.24.10 by

Residential Market Report for August 2010 in Martin County, Florida

The Martin County Residential Market Reports sales data of single-family homes and townhomes as reported by the Realtor Association of Martin County.

Sales for single-family units in Martin County for August were down to 117 units as compared to July’s disappointing 145 units and last August’s 156 units.  It appears that we are seeing some reduced demand as a result of the end of the federal home buyer’s tax credit, a weak economy that has many would-be buyers (especially of second homes) nervous and waiting on the sidelines and also normal seasonal reduced activity.

After a fairly strong spring with stabilizing prices, it appears that both median and average prices took a slide in August reflecting the weaker demand and continued oversupply of available homes.  Unlike the Condo segment of the market, single-family home inventory has risen now for the fourth month in a row as those that were trying to time this market reacted to the strong spring sales, but as with most that try to time the market, have reacted a bit to slow and late.  Interest rates have also made some small increases of late that could further negatively affect the market.

Condominium Market Report for August 2010 in Martin County, Florida

Condominium Market Report for August 2010 in Martin County, Florida

The August Condo market report shows some mixed indicators.  Sales year to year are up slightly (by 5 units).  Down from July, which is a typical seasonal result.  Prices continue to slide although the median sales price was up for August reflecting on the mix of some higher-priced units selling.  The best news is that the inventory has continued to shrink and is now equal to the inventory we had back in December of 2005 which was near the beginning of the current slump in the market.

Unfortunately, I think there’s a fairly high shadow inventory of condos with the owners waiting to see what the market does.  Should there be any sign of an upturn, these units will enter the market creating more supply which will negatively impact prices further.  The best opportunity for this segment of the market is a rebound in the economy which for the moment doesn’t seem to be near at hand.
