SEPTEMBER MARKET UPDATE
SALES GOOD – INVENTORY GOOD
“We hit two milestones in August,” said Mike Hughes, General Manager for Downing-FryeRealty, Inc. “We now have over 2,000 closings for the year, and we hit the one billion dollar mark in closed sales volume. While it has been a bit challenging this year, we are carving out another solid year for sales. We should close 2017 with over 3,000 closings. One key is our solid listing inventory of over 1,000 available properties. We continue to carry one of the largest listing inventories in Southwest Florida.”
BONITA /ESTERO: MORE SALES THAN LAST YEAR
Pending units have increased overall by 10 percent in the 12-month ending July 2017 vs. July 2016. “The 12-month year over year increase in pending units is most likely due to the number of price decreases we saw in July 2017,” stated Jerry Murphy, Managing Broker, Downing-Frye. “Those price decreases are now producing offers.” In July 2017, there were 260 price reductions in the Bonita Springs and Estero markets. For the 12 months ending July 2017 there were 3,118 pending sales, 3,086 closed sales and an inventory of 1,440 units, representing a 6.8 month supply. The median closed sales price was $295,000.
FLORIDA: HOT WEATHER – HOT SALES
Just like the weather, Florida’s housing market was hot in July with more closed sales, higher median prices, increased pending sales and more new listings. The statewide median sales price for single-family existing homes in July was $240,000, up 7.1 percent from the previous year, and the statewide median price for townhouse-condo properties was $170,950, up 6.8 percent over the year-ago figure. The statewide closed sales of townhouse-condos totaled 9,246 in July, up 3.6 percent compared to July 2016. Closed sales data reflected fewer short sales and foreclosures last month: Short sales for townhouse-condo properties declined 39.7 percent and foreclosures fell 47.7 percent year-to-year; short sales for single-family homes dropped 40.2 percent and foreclosures fell 44.2 percent year-to-year. Inventory remained tight in July with a 3.9-months’ supply for single-family homes and a 5.6-months’ supply for townhouse-condo properties.
USA: EXISTING HOME SALES SLIDE A BIT
Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, says the second half of the year got off on a somewhat sour note as existing sales in July inched backward. “Buyer interest in most of the country has held up strongly this summer and homes are selling fast, but the negative effect of not enough inventory to choose from and its pressure on overall affordability put the brakes on what should’ve been a higher sales pace,” he said. “Contract activity has mostly trended downward since February and ultimately put a large dent on closings last month.” The median existing-home price for all housing types in July was $258,300, up 6.2 percent from July 2016 ($243,200). July’s price increase marks the 65th straight month of year-over-year gains.
