Values were mixed for January with the median price up by 11.1% (was up by 9.9% in December) while the average sales price decreased by 1.4% (was up by 9.2% in December).  I’ve been expecting prices to moderate for some time as the inventory continues to increase and sales volume does not keep up.

St Lucie County Single Family Homes January 2017 Market Detail

St Lucie County Single Family Homes January 2017 Market Detail

St Lucie County Single Family Homes Market Detail for January 2017 showed improved sales activity with improved results year to year.  Closed sales were up by 8.1% (in December they were up by 8.9%) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) also increased by 8.1% (they were up by 4.8% last month).

Prices also continued their upward march.  The median and average sales prices up by 8.9% and 16.1% respectively from last January (For December these numbers were up 13.9% and 12.0%).  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 decreased by 112 homes to 1,844 homes.  This inventory is 2.7% higher than last year.  The current supply of homes is at 4.1 months (4.0 months for January of 2016)  This is 2.5% greater than last year.  The St Lucie County single family home market remains in a strong sellers market.  A balanced market is one with a 6 to 7 month supply of inventory.

Social Media Sells Houses

Social Media Sells Houses

Real Estate online

Have you checked your Facebook status today? Perhaps sent a Tweet? Or posted a selfie to your Instagram account? Well if you’re like 74 percent of Americans, your answer to at least one of these questions is probably yes.

Social media has become a vital facet and component of our everyday lives. Thanks to the World Wide Web, we now have the power to stay connected to friends and family members that are miles away, as well as to locate long lost friends and classmates with whom we’ve lost touch over the years. We can show off our new babies, our new pets, and our new cars via widely transmitted photos and videos. We can report good news about our work and family lives, and—in tougher times—can ask for advice, help and resources if needed.

That’s all way cool and all, as the kids today would say; but the most important question in our minds, of course, is, “Can one sell a home through social media?”

Well today the answer comes in the form of a loud, resounding yes. People do indeed advertise houses for sale across social media, just as they tout and advertise the cars, books, services, music, products, or anything else that people want to sell to customers and clients throughout the country.

In the good (but technologically underdeveloped) old days, a homeowner or real estate agent trying to sell a home had a limited number of options available. They could advertise their house in the real estate or classified ad section of the local newspaper, list it in a MLS (Multiple Listing Service) book, and post for sale signs outside the home itself. And, of course, they could host open houses that would give prospective buyers the opportunity to tour the residence.

Of course, home sellers do still have the option of marketing their house through these innovative and wonderful means. Yet today, they also have the option of Facebooking and Tweeting out their listing, posting a photo of your home on Instagram, and filming a video tour of the house that can be shown on YouTube, Vimeo, etc.

By using social media to market your home, you can reach millions of people across the country; some of whom may be looking to move to your area from a faraway place, and are in search of a place to live once they get there. You also can reach people already in your community, who can contact you to arrange an immediate showing—and, or so we hope, a sale!

Basically, the information superhighway has transformed our nation into one big neighborhood; a place where we can show—and sell—our houses to the very best effect.

If you want your home sold with the help of social media, give me a call at (772) 323-6996.

Florida Townhouses and Condos January 2017 Market Detail

Florida Townhouses and Condos January 2017 Market Detail

The Florida Townhouses and Condos Market Detail for January 2017 began the year with mostly positive activity when compared to last year and the previous month.   Closed sales were up by 6.2% as compared to last months decrease of 5.2% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 6.5% (In December there was a 2.1% decrease).

Values continued to increase though at a more moderate pace.  Median sales prices were up by 6.6% (was up by 7.7% in December), while the average sales price increased by 4.0% (was up 4.2% in December).  As sales activity decreases and if inventory continues to increase, I expect these prices to continue to moderate, though they are staying pretty resilient at this time.

The inventory increased by 6.3% from January of last year.  For January 2017 we have 6.4 months of inventory (was  6.0 months in December) and compared to 5.8 for January 2016.  We remain in a balanced market for Florida townhouse and condo sales but are drifting slowly towards a buyers market in the past year. A balanced market favoring neither buyers or sellers is considered to be one with a 6 to 7 month supply of inventory.

Make Your House a Work of Art

Make Your Stuart House a Work of Art

Martin County - Sailfish fountain

Your house is a work of art; or at least it can be, in the hands of the right Realtor.

When you list your home for sale with a Realtor, rest assured that he/she will use a vast variety of marketing tools available in their professional arsenal to display and present your home to the very best effect; up to and including the portrayal of your home as a virtual work of art—and in a variety of interesting and increasingly high tech means:

1. The Realtor will photograph your home. Just about any residential sales listing will come complete with beautiful high definition photographs that showcase both the interior and exterior of your home. These pictures might appear on the Realtor’s website, in newspaper ads, and in the pages of real estate magazines, and will come accompanied by vivid and detailed written descriptions that also serve to define the benefits and selling points of your residence.

2. The Realtor will videotape your home. Many real estate professionals offer professional-style video shoots that capture the beauty and complexity of your residence; footage that will be streamed in the form of virtual home tours; videotaped open houses, so to speak, that will show interested home buyers every nook and cranny of your residence—and in what is literally in the best possible light.

3. The Realtor will draw your home. Even before the modern age of video and graphics, real estate professionals employed the use of detailed pen and paper illustrations in an effort to sell homes. These drawings could take the form of basic but defined illustrations created with a pencil, or a beautiful painted rendering that bears a strong likeness to a work of art. Traditionally real estate renderings have been included in packages along with press releases that advertise the sale of the home, and also have been printed as part and parcel of home for sale advertisements; whether they appear in newspapers, listing books and home magazines. These days one also can find renderings on the Realtor’s website, as a supplement to videos and high definition photographs that also show off the residence to the very best effect.

4. The Realtor will show your home. We all know that video, graphics and just the right lighting are not all that makes your home beautiful. Through open houses and prescheduled showings of your home, you and your Realtor can show potential buyers that your home truly is a work of art.

If you’re ready to list your Stuart (or Treasure Coast) house, give me a call (772-323-6996).

 Hobe Sound FL 33455 Condo Market Report January 2017

The Hobe Sound condo market (Zip Code 33455) is the smallest segment of the Martin County real estate market.  This was a big month for closed sales, the best for the year in Hobe Sound Condos.  Inventory remains challenged and only 1 pending sale for the month.

The absorption rate for Hobe Sound condos was 0.9 months for January (was 2.75 in December).  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 do 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 January 2016 numbers were: 6 active listings, 2 pending sales and 0 closed sales.  It’s very difficult to make meaningful comparisons with such low numbers of sales and inventory, though this segment appears to be returning to more normal volume.
