Southwest Florida Featured Golf Communities

Southwest Florida’s featured golf communities highlights the latest real estate trends in some of the area’s top country clubs. We continue to see waitlists grow in “equity” golf communities or golf communities which require an upfront initiation fee for a golf membership. In reality, there are very few clubs still offering “equity” memberships. Most clubs have shifted to a membership model which requires a non-refundable upfront initiation fee.

In addition to “equity” golf communities, Southwest Florida also has a second type of golf community which we refer to as a bundled golf community. This means the golf membership is bundled or deeded to the property and your membership dues are a part of your annual community fees. There is no upfront initiation fee in a bundled golf community. Provided you purchase a property which includes a golf membership, you have immediate golf privileges. It’s important to note, in some bundled golf communities a property only includes a social membership. Learn more about bundled golf communities…

There are advantages and disadvantages to each type of membership and community. With more than 150 golf communities in the area it is a challenge to navigate all the various options for golf membership. That’s where we come in. Our vast relationships with all the golf communities from Naples to Sarasota allow us to serve our clients by making the home-buying or selling process an easy and enjoyable one.

While it may seem overwhelming at first, once we know how often you play, other desired club amenities, property type and a price range we can help you narrow the list of clubs down to a handful that will potentially offer you the Florida golf lifestyle you are looking for.

Below you will find highlights for the latest real estate statistics for single-family golf homes and golf condos in our area for the past 12 months.

Home Selling Tips…

Sarasota Housing Market Report

The latest Sarasota housing market report showed 770 properties sold for just over $506 Million during October for the North Port, Sarasota, and Bradenton areas. The highest price sale was for a single family home on Longboat Key for $11,500,000.

Once again, inventory rose significantly compared to the same time last year. However, it is important to keep in mind inventory was extremely low last year. Like the previous month, even though supply has increased, the greater Sarasota area ended the month with just 2 months’ supply of properties for sale. In fact, there was only a net gain of 70 properties added to the market from September to October which is only a 3 percent increase.

Overall, inventory is less than half of what we normally have at this time of year. Since a healthy market would be at least 6 months’ worth of homes for sale, Sellers are still in the driver’s seat.

Whether you are buying or selling a home, it is important to keep track of local market trends. What is happening in resort destinations such as Sarasota is quite different than the suburbs of a major metropolitan area. If you have questions about a specific area or neighborhood, contact us for more information.

Sarasota Housing Market Report – Single Family Homes

October 2022 versus October 2021 Single Family Home Highlights:

• Closed sales decreased 34 percent going from 788 transactions down to 520 sales.
• Pending sales decreased 58.2 percent down from 843 last October versus 352 this October.
• Inventory rose 123.8 percent up to 1,265 properties for sale compared to this same time last year when just 804 homes were for sale.
• New listings decreased from 829 down to 559 which was a 32.6 percent decrease.
• Median days on market increased to 20 days which was up from 7 days during last October.
• Available inventory of single-family homes ended October with a 2.2 months’ supply of homes available for sale which was up 175 percent increase over this time last year.

Both closed sales and pending declined due to the lack of inventory in the greater Sarasota region. Of the 520 home sales during the month, 42 percent were all cash transactions.

While it is good news for buyers that single-family home inventory increased over this time last year, it barely changed from September when there were 1,591 homes for sale. So the net increase in single-family homes for sale was 4 homes. As we head into season, we normally see a notable increase in inventory and we have yet to see a significant increase in new listings.

Also, the time it took for single-family homes to go to contract remained at 20 days which is still fast compared to a normal market. With just a 2.2 month’s supply of homes for sale it is still a Seller’s market. So, if you are thinking about selling your property in the Sarasota area, call, email or text us today – 239.370.0892 for a complimentary market analysis.

On the other hand, if you have been sitting on the sidelines waiting to buy a property, now may be a good time to start watching for properties which meet your criteria. Keep in mind there are new listings hitting the market every day, they are just going to contract rather quickly. If you want to stay up to date we can help you with automatic property alerts.

Or, if you’re not sure which community is right for you, contact us and we’ll help you identify the communities which will match the lifestyle you are seeking.

Sarasota Housing Market Report – Condos and Townhomes

October 2022 versus October 2021 Condo Highlights:

• Condo sales decreased 21.6 percent going from 319 real estate transactions down to 250 sales.
• Pending sales decreased 50.4 percent down from 361 last October to 179 this October.
• Inventory increased 109.5 percent up to 660 condos for sale compared to last October when there were only 315 units for sale.
• New listings decreased from 366 down to 295 which was a 19.4 percent decrease.
• Median days to contract was 28 days which was up from 6 days last year.
• Available inventory of condos ended October with a 1.8 months’ supply of properties available for sale which was a 157.1 percent increase.

There was a notable increase in inventory for condos compared to single-family homes. The increase in condos for sale between September and October went from 575 units up to 660 units or a 14.5 percent increase.

Also noteworthy was the change in days on market which increased from 18 days during September up to 28 days during October. At the same time, 63 percent of the transactions were cash deals.

While the increase in condo inventory and days on market is a step in the right direction for a more balanced market, with less than a 2 months’ supply of condos for sale we are still in a Seller’s market.

Bottom line, it remains a seller’s market for both condos and single-family homes. So now would be a great time to cash in on the high buyer demand. You might be surprised to learn how much your home is worth in today’s market. What is my home worth…

Lee County October Housing Market Update

The October housing market update for Lee County showed 1,050 properties sold for just over $514 Million during the month. The luxury market slowed a bit with 62 properties sold at or above $1 Million, down slightly from 67 luxury sales during September.

The highest price sale was in Esplanade Lake Club in Fort Myers for $3,100,000. Golf community properties dominated the highest priced homes sold in Lee County with 8 of the top 10 golf homes sold between $1,900,000 to $2,995,000. On average, homebuyers paid 97% of list price for the top 10 most expensive homes sold in Lee County.

Unlike the Naples area, it is not surprising to see both closed sales and pending sales fell during October which industry experts have attributed to Hurricane Ian. Many owners along the Gulf coast are weighing their options for selling or rebuilding.

Lee County October Housing Market Update – Single Family Homes

October 2022 versus October 2021 Single Family Home Highlights:

• Available inventory of single-family homes ended October with a 2.6 months’ supply of homes available for sale which was up from 1.2 months’ supply during October of 2021.

Once again, single-family homes showed a modest increase in the median sales price, up 15.5 percent over October of last year. Unlike last month, the median sales price in October rose compared to the prior month up from $414,495 during September to $425,000 in October. 

Similar to the prior month the days on market continued to grow. The median days to contract showed a slight increase up to 29 days during October compared to 27 days during the prior month and up from 14 days during October of last year.

Also, the percentage of all cash sales came in at 35 percent for single family homes compared to 34 percent during the prior month. For those considering a home purchase using financing, as long as you have a pre-approval letter, you have more opportunity to purchase a home than this time last year.

Although inventory increased again, it still at historically low levels. As long as inventory remains low, prices will continue to rise. If you are considering selling, call, email, or text us today to discuss your home’s value in today’s market.

Lee County October Housing Market Update – Condos and Townhomes

October 2022 versus October 2021 Condo Highlights:

• Condo sales decreased 41.8 percent going from 558 real estate transactions down to 325 sales.
• Pending sales decreased 39.5 percent down from 692 last October to 419 this October.
• Inventory increased 102.4 percent up to 992 condos for sale compared to last October when there were only 490 units for sale.
• New listings decreased from 628 down to 441 which was a 29.8 percent decrease.
• Median days to contract increased to 32 days which represented a 220 percent increase versus October of 2021.
• Available inventory of condos ended October with a 1.7 months’ supply of properties available for sale which was a 183.3 percent increase.

Despite the increase in inventory, the Lee County Condo market remains a strong Seller’s market. The number of condos for sale is still extremely low at just a 1.7 month’s supply which was less than the previous month when there was a 1.8 months supply of condos for sale. A balanced market would be a 6-7 months’ supply of homes for sale.

The median price for condos was up 20 percent compared to this time last year. Once again, the median sales price rose over the prior month in addition to year-over-year. Will the trend continue? Time will tell. The coastal areas were more impacted by the storm and homeowners are still waiting on insurance claims to determine if they are going to sell or rebuild.

Finally, it is notable 62 percent of condo sales were paid in cash. If you are planning on leveraging a loan for your condo purchase you are still competing with a significant number of cash buyers. Regardless of when you plan to purchase, if you are a buyer, it may be time to start taking a closer look at homes for sale in neighborhoods which might fit your criteria. To stay up to date sign up for automatic property alerts.

Bottom line, it is a seller’s market for both condos and single-family homes. So now would be a great time to cash in on the high buyer demand. You might be surprised to learn how much your home is worth in today’s market. Wondering what the benefits are of using an agent sell your home? What is my home worth…

2022 Naples October Real Estate Recap

The Naples October real estate recap showed 662 properties sold for just over $652 Million. The largest sale was for $22,250,000 in Port Royal. Additionally, the luxury market picked up again, with 142 properties sold at or above $1 Million compared to 109 sales during September.

The speculation that home sales would drop significantly following Hurricane Ian proved false, as evidenced by a 23.7 percent increase in closed sales and an 8.7 percent increase in pending sales.

The Naples area remains a highly desirable area for second homes. In fact, the recent storm has created an opportunity for buyers to purchase homes on premium lots with spectacular views of the Gulf of Mexico or the Bay. Homes which would have never been listed for sale are now being listed and positioned as a tear down. Ultimately, new homes will be built adhering to current building codes which are quite stringent in Collier County.

While the overall economy remains a concern for many going into the new year, the long-term investment of real estate remains a viable option for many looking to diversify their portfolio.

Finally, while interest rates are higher than they were a year ago, they remain historically low. For those not paying cash, for many of the homebuyers interested in our area, a 6 percent interest rate is much lower than the rate they paid on their first homes in the early 1980’s. What was the rate on your first home?

Naples October Real Estate Recap

October 2022 versus October 2021 Highlights

• Closed sales decreased 25 percent compared to October of last year.
• Overall pending sales decreased 43 percent versus the same time in 2021.
• Inventory increased 73 percent up from 1,346 homes to 2,325 homes for sale.
• Average days on market increased 71 percent up to 41 days.

In all, there were 323 single-family homes and 339 condos sold for a total of 662 sales during the month which was a 25 percent decrease compared to the same time last year. Like September, the storm delayed some closings during the beginning of the month.

Inventory continues to increase which is a positive sign for buyers. However, the numbers are deceiving. The number of properties for sale increased 73 percent over the same time last year, however, it remains half of the typical inventory for this time of year. Inventory did increase 8.5 percent from September to October, so we continued to move towards a more balanced market. How long it will take is unknown at this point.

The median closed price remained the same in October as it was in September at $555,000. Yet it was a 22 percent increase over October of last year. Also, the price sold relative to list price remained about the same as the prior month. On average, single-family homes sold at 95.9 percent of list price year-to-date and condos have sold at 96.8 percent.

Although inventory has increased, sellers are still in the driver’s seat and have been resistant to negotiate much below list price. If you are a buyer, the good news is Sellers are willing to accept financing offers and, in some cases make modest repairs.

If you are a Seller, you still can capture a high sales price as inventory levels are still half of what we typically have at this time of year. So, if you are wondering if it is still a good time to list your home or whether or not you should do repairs before you sell, we will help guide you in the process and share what other Sellers are doing.
