Florida’s existing housing market shows improvement

Florida’s existing housing market shows improving conditions in June 2008 ORLANDO, Fla. — July 24, 2008 – Many Florida Realtors® statewide noted positive movement in their local housing markets in June, with an upswing in the statewide median price reported for both existing home sales and condominium sales over May 2008, according to the latest housing statistics released by the Florida Association of Realtors® (FAR). The statewide existing-home median price in June was $205,500, up 1 percent from May’s median price of $203,300. The median price of an existing condo last month was $183,700, also up 1 percent from May’s figure of $181,800.Nationally, existing home sales are expected to show some modest gains in the coming months, with a recovery predicted during the latter part of the year, according to the latest housing outlook from the National Association of Realtors® (NAR). “Some markets have seen a doubling in home sales from a year ago, while others are seeing contract signings cut in half,” said NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun. “Price conditions vary tremendously, even within a locality.” In the year-to-year comparison, a total of 11,700 existing homes sold statewide last month while 12,276 homes sold in June 2007 for a decrease of 5 percent, according to FAR. Florida’s median sales price for existing homes last month was $205,500; a year ago, it was $244,400 for a 16 percent decrease. But, looking back to June 2003, the statewide median sales price for single-family homes has increased 26.9 percent over the five-year-period, according to FAR records – at that time, the statewide existing-home median price was $161,900. The median is the midpoint; half the homes sold for more, half for less.In a year-to-year comparison for condos, 3,628 units sold statewide compared to 3,851 in June 2007 for a 6 percent decline. The statewide existing-condo median sales price last month was $183,700; in June 2007 it was $212,400 for a 14 percent decrease. NAR reported the national median existing condo price was $223,400 in May 2008.The national median sales price for existing single-family homes in May 2008 was $206,700, down 6.8 percent from a year earlier, according to NAR. In California, the statewide median resales price was $384,840 in May; in Massachusetts, it was $322,500; in Maryland, it was $294,244; and in New York, it was $210,000.Last month, interest rates for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 6.32 percent, down from the average rate of 6.66 percent in June 2007, according to Freddie Mac. FAR’s sales figures reflect closings, which typically occur 30 to 90 days after sales contracts are written. Several of Florida’s metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) reported increased sales of existing homes in June; a few MSAs also showed gains in condo sales. Realtors around the state reported heightened buyer interest in their markets, with a responding increase in telephone calls, home showings and other business activity.Among the state’s larger markets, the Orlando MSA reported a total of 1,641 homes sold in June compared to 1,595 homes a year ago for a 3 percent increase. The existing home median sales price was $219,500; a year ago, it was $258,100 for a 15 percent decrease. A total of 172 existing condos sold in the MSA last month compared to 188 condos the previous June for a decrease of 9 percent. The market’s existing condo median price was $132,900; a year ago, it was $156,900 for a 15 percent decrease. © 2008 FLORIDA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS

Pricing Your Home For Sale

The Washington Post recently published these tips for selling your home and pricing it to sell. Pricing Your Home: Here are some tips on how to price a home you're selling. * Don't base the price on what you paid or what your neighbor got a few years ago. * Do examine the prices of homes for sale in your neighborhood, as well as the prices of comparable homes that have sold in the past three to six months. * Don't pick an agent simply because he or she suggested the highest list price. * Do pick an agent who offers a thoughtful explanation for the price he or she is suggesting. * Don't set your price based on emotional attachments and cherished memories. * Do ask your agent to reassess the competitive landscape every few weeks to make sure your asking price is in sync with the market. * Don't be stubborn. If weeks go by without any offers, the price most likely does not reflect the value of the home. It's time to consider cutting the price. * Do be patient. You might have to wait longer for buyers to pull their money together now that lenders have toughened their standards. Stop right there!

2007 Ormond By The Sea Condo Market

There were 50 Condos sold in Ormond By The Sea in 2007 compared to 43 in 2006. Five of the 2007 sales were listed by Ocean View Realty Group. At the end of 2006 there were 151 Condos for sale and at the end of 2007 there were 125. Many owners, espewcially those that purchased at the higher end when the market was hot are holding out for prices to go back up before putting their property on the market. Some would face a substantial loss if their property sold in the current market. Almost half of the 50 Condos sold in 2007 sold for $215,000 or less. There were 11 sales of 2 bedroom, 2 bath, ocean view condos above the first floor for $215,000 or less. That compares to zero in 2006. Of the 10, 2006 sales under $215,000 all were non ocean view or first floor units. Selling prices for ocean view condos across A1A from the beach in 2006 ranged from $265,000 to $346,000. Those selling prices are pretty much unattainable in the current market.

Volusia County population

“We’re seeing signs of growing demand for homes in our market – especially from the Baby Boomers,” said Nancy Riley, a broker with Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate in Pinellas County and 2007 president of the Florida Association of Realtors® (FAR). “More boomers are turning 60 every year and a substantial number are looking to buy in Florida.” According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are 76 million members of the baby boomers generation born between 1946 and 1964. As of 2007, the boomers range in age from 61 to 43 and comprise nearly 28 percent of the adult U.S. population. If only 5 percent of the boomers eventually retire to Florida, that alone would add 3.8 million new residents. “We are in for a retiree boom, and we are in the right place for it,” said Patricia Osborne, a sales associate with Prudential Tropical Realty’s Port Richey office. Looking at 2006 Census statistics, Osborne said 10.6 percent of the U.S. population will reach retirement age in the next decade. “That's nearly 32 million people who are age 55-65 right now,” she said. “Because of our weather, the cost of living and the services already in place, we will continue to attract retirees.”
