Why Summer Is a Great Time To Buy a Vacation Home

Are you ready to buy a vacation home? You may be someone who looks forward to summer each year because it gives you an opportunity to rest, unwind, and enjoy more quality time with your loved ones. Now that summer is just around the corner, it’s worthwhile to start thinking about your plans and where you want to spend your vacations this year. Here are a few reasons a vacation home could be right for you.

Why You May Want To Consider a Vacation Home Today

Over the past two years, a lot has changed. You may be one of many people who now work from home and have added flexibility in where you live. You may also be someone who delayed trips for personal or health reasons. If either is true for you, there could be a unique opportunity to use the flexibility that comes with remote work or the money saved while not traveling to invest in your future by buying a vacation home.

Bankrate explains why a second home, or a vacation home, may be something worth considering:

“For those who are able, buying a second home is suddenly more appealing, as remote working became the norm for many professionals during the pandemic. Why not work from the place where you like to vacation — the place where you want to live?

If you don’t work remotely, a vacation home could still be at the top of your wish list if you have a favorite getaway spot that you visit often. It beats staying in a tiny hotel room or worrying about rental rates each time you want to take a trip.”

How a Professional Can Help You Find the Right One

So, if you’re looking for an oasis, you may be able to make it a second home rather than just the destination for a trip. If you could see yourself soaking up the sun in a vacation home, you may want to start your search. Summer is a popular time to buy vacation homes. By beginning the process now, you could get ahead of the competition.

The first step is working with a local real estate advisor who can help you find a home in your desired location. A professional has the knowledge and resources to help you understand the market, what homes are available and at what price points, and more. They can also walk you through all the perks of owning a second home and how it can benefit you.

A recent article from the National Association of Realtors (NAR), mentions some of the top reasons buyers today are looking into purchasing a second, or a vacation, home:

“According to Google’s data, the top reasons that homeowners cited for purchasing a second home were to diversify their investments, earn money renting, and use as a vacation home.”

If any of the reasons covered here resonate with you, connect with a real estate professional to learn more. They can give you expert advice based on what you need, your goals, and what you’re hoping to get out of your second home.

Bottom Line

Owning a vacation home is an investment in your future and your lifestyle. If this is one of your goals this year, you still have time to buy and enjoy spending the summer in your vacation home. When you’re ready to get started, let’s connect.

Sarasota Real Estate Recap

The latest reports for the Sarasota real estate recap showed 1,289 properties sold for just over $768 Million during April. Both single family home and condo sales year-over-year decreased 25 percent in Sarasota County which covers the North Port, Sarasota, and Bradenton areas.

Similar to the previous month, 57 percent of transactions were cash sales.  If you find yourself in a multiple bid situation, in most cases the seller will consider a cash offer a stronger offer than one with financing.

On another note, even though inventory remains historically low, 1,608 new properties hit the market during the month. Most importantly, there was a 23 percent increase in single family home inventory which is good news for buyers who now have more options. However, it’s important to note, the median days to contract for both single family homes and condos was 5 to 6 days. As new properties hit the market, they were snapped up quickly provided they were priced properly. As long as demand remains high and supply low, prices will continue to rise.

If you are planning to sell, the increased inventory may start to impact how high of a sales price you will be able to obtain depending on the community.

Naples April Real Estate Recap

The latest Naples April real estate recap for the area showed 1,377 properties sold for just over $1.46 Billion! The largest sale was $36,000,000 for a single family home in Port Royal. Additionally, the luxury market was still strong as evident by the 358 properties sold at or above $1 Million.

The demand to live the Naples lifestyle remained strong as evident by the reduction in days on market which was down to just 16 days. Closed sales and pending sales were once again lower than this time last year due to limited inventory. There were 569 single family homes and 658 condos sold for a total of 1,377 sales during the month.

Also, properties sold at or above list price once again. Condos sold just above asking price at 101.6 percent of list price and single family homes came in at 99.8 percent of list. Similar to previous months, the median sales price rose 36 percent compared to last April.

Now for a bit of good news if you are a buyer. Inventory increased 17 percent ending the month at 1,668. And as of May 25th, there are 1,763 properties for sale. Inventory is almost double what it was in January.

Additionally, the reports showed thirty-three percent or 549 of the properties whet through a price reduction. In the past week alone, there have been 259 price reductions. To reiterate what we said last month, the price reductions do not mean prices are going below previous closed sales. These reductions are on Naples homes which were originally priced too high and seller’s are starting to adjust their prices to reflect current market conditions.

Naples Real Estate Trends

April 2022 versus April 2021 Highlights

• Closed sales decreased 36 percent compared to April of last year.
• Overall pending sales decreased 32 percent versus the same time period.
• Inventory increased 17 percent up from 1,432 homes to 1,668 homes for sale.
• Average days on market fell 71 percent down to 16 days.

Similar to January, February and March, single family homes saw a significant increase in the median price which rose 33.9 percent. Once again condos saw an even bigger increase up 44.7 percent which is great news for sellers.

However, if you are considering selling, the increase in inventory as well as the price reductions show prices have started to stabilize. While it remains a seller’s market, we are moving towards a more balanced environment. There’s still time to list your home to maximize your profits.
