17 Jun Shadow Wood at the Brooks Real Estate News | June 2015
In the second quarter of 2014, real estate research firm Local Market Monitor projected a 29-percent increase in the cumulative gain in one-to-four-family home prices; their most recent study adjusts that mark now to a whopping 41 percent increase in home prices in our area over the next three years.
Taking a look at the volume of sales in Shadow Wood, the chart to the right shows a decrease in the number of sales since 2013. The reason for the decrease is simple: there is not enough inventory to meet the demand in Shadow Wood. At this moment, there are 40 homes for sale — out of about 1,500! So, if you have the slightest awning to sell your Shadow Wood property, give me a call and to share my 30 years of experience putting buyers and sellers together in SWFL.
