What's Going On?
by Linda Grimshaw
The question that I'm most often asked is " What is going on in the Sarasota Real Estate market?". The answer is combination of fact and guesswork!
Fact: A housing shortage several years ago fueled the building market. Developers not only fed the then current market but also speculated themselves. Building everything from entry level condos to multimillion dollar highrise condos on the Bay Front.
Fact: The building boom of the early 2000's finally met up with current demand. It became harder and harder to fill the available rental units. Investors began to pull out and dump their properties for a tidy profit. Other investors that had the intention of flipping their contracts to purchase found no buyers.
Fact: Buyers from the other parts of the country began to put their purchasing plans on hold when sales in their hometowns slowed. All these facts, together produced a slowing sales market with simultaneously rising inventories.
So what now you ask? Well, here are a few more facts.
Fact: Owners who only put their property up for sale to cash in on the appreciation of their homes are pulling those properties off the market.
Fact: Many builders have tabled construction plans for developments until inventories drop.
Fact: Resale prices have dropped 10% and appear to be leveling. New home prices have dropped as well and purchase incentives have never been more generous.
Fact: When the inventory is gone, so will the deals and the incentives and prices will begin to rise again. Another indisputable fact is the Florida Gulf Shores is a fantastic place to live. Baby boomers have just begun to relocate. There is only so much prime property and it's gone fast in the past and will go faster in the future.
Here's the Guesswork: When will the excess inventory be gone? No one knows for sure. Some say six months, some say longer. I can tell you that sales have picked up in this first quarter of 2007. Prices are stabilizing and I don't think they will fall much lower, if at all.
My Recommendation: If you're considering joining us on the Gulf Coast, start looking now. Next fall may be too late. But then....that's just my guess!
