Lee County January Housing Market Update

The January housing market update for Lee County showed there was more than $820 Million in properties closed during the month, up from $792 Million during the prior year. Both single family home and condo sales year-over-year decreased double digits in Bonita Springs, Estero and Fort Myers.

Once again the percentage of cash transactions during the month increased slightly up from 45 percent to 47 percent. If you end up in a multiple bid situation, be aware many sellers prefer a cash offer over a finance offer.

Florida remains a prime destination for people relocating to the area. A recent study shows we are the 4th most tax-friendly state behind Wyoming, Nevada and Alaska.

We have real estate specialists who cover the Gulf Coast from Marco Island to Sarasota, so if you’re considering moving to the area, contact us for more information.

Lee County January Housing Update – Single Family Homes

January 2022 versus January 2021 Single Family Home Highlights:

• Closed sales decreased 10.2 percent going from 1,224 transactions down to 1,099 sales.
• Pending sales decreased 13.6 percent down from 1,901 last January versus 1,643 this January.
• Inventory fell 31.1 percent down to 1,517 properties for sale compared to this same time last year when 2,203 homes were for sale.
• New listings decreased from 1,610 down to 1,574 which was a 2.2 percent decline.
• Median days on market fell to 17 days which was a 41.4 percent decrease versus January of 2021.
• Available inventory of single family homes ended January with a 1 month supply of homes available for sale, or a 41.2 percent decrease.

Similar to last month, single family home prices showed a significant increases in the median sales price, up 26.4 percent for January of this year compared to last year at the same time. Even though industry experts continue to say growth will slow, we have yet to see that reflected in the actual local market data. As long as inventory remains extremely low, prices will continue to rise.

Seller’s continue to have the advantage in the sales process. If you are considering buying a property, patience and persistence is the key to finding the right home. New listings are hitting the market every day, we can help you with automatic property alerts.

If you are thinking of selling, it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to maximize your profits.. Contact us today to learn about your home’s value in our current market. It may be more than you realize.

Lee County January Housing Update – Condos and Townhomes

January 2022 versus January 2021 Condo Highlights:

• Condo sales decreased 17.2 percent going from 618 real estate transactions down to 512 sales.
• Pending sales decreased 32.2 percent down from 1,135 last January to 769 this January.
• Inventory decreased 73.1 percent down to 436 condos for sale compared to last January when there were 1,621 units for sale.
• New listings decreased from 878 down to 769 which was a 12.4 percent decrease.
• Median days to contract fell to 10 days which represented an 78.3 percent decrease versus January of 2021.
• Available inventory of condos ended January with less than 1 month supply of properties available for sale which was a 76.9 percent decline.

Condo sales followed similar patterns as the previous couple of months. Once again, the number of sales and inventory saw declines. Inventory levels of condos are especially challenging with less than a months worth of properties available for sale. Yet, similar to single family homes, there are still opportunities as new listings are added to the market every day.

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. Wondering what the benefits are of using an agent sell your home? Learn why you may not want to go it alone…

Real Estate Voted the Best Investment Eight Years in a Row

Eight years in a row? In an annual Gallup poll, Americans chose real estate as the best long-term investment. And it’s not the first time it’s topped the list, either. Real estate has been on a winning streak for the past eight years, consistently gaining traction as the best long-term investment (see graph below):

The Perks of Owning More Than One Home

Many things have changed over the past couple of years, and real estate is no exception. One impact is an increased desire to own more than one home. According to the recent Luxury Market Report from Luxury Home Marketing:

“As trends such as remote working and flexi-hours took hold in 2021, so too did the flexibility of relocating as well as the growth of second homeownership.”

This may be because the pandemic has altered how we think about our homes. Where we live has become, more than ever, our safe space and our getaway. And with the rise in remote work, more people are reconsidering where they want to live and buying second homes to give them greater flexibility. If you fall in that category, here are just a few of the perks you’ll enjoy, and how owning a second home may be a great decision for your lifestyle and your future.

Enjoy a Change in Scenery (or Weather)

When you have two homes, you can alternate between them as the weather changes or as you crave different scenery. Do you want to live in an area with a particular season? Would alternating between a resort and a suburban setting be ideal? With two homes, you have those options. Being able to move between homes based on which location best suits you at the time gives you added flexibility and variety that can help increase your happiness.

Owning More Than One Home Helps You Build Your Wealth Faster

You may have heard that home equity is skyrocketing, thanks to ongoing home price appreciation. CoreLogic reports that the average homeowner gained $56,700 in equity over the last year. With home prices projected to continue rising, if you purchase a second home, you could benefit from rising equity on both properties to build your wealth (and your net worth) even faster.

Be Closer to Loved Ones

The pandemic has also reignited the importance of being near our loved ones. One option worth exploring is whether you want your second home to be near the people who matter most in your life. This makes it easier to see your loved ones but still gives you your own dedicated, private space so you can be nearby for major life events or longer visits.

Lock in Your Expenses

Buying a second home today and locking in your mortgage rate may be a good option if you’re looking to stabilize your housing costs for the long haul. If you’re approaching retirement or are looking to use your second home as your permanent residence in the future, buying that house now with today’s rate and price may be a good financial decision. That way, no matter what happens with rates and prices in years ahead, your monthly payment is locked in for the next 15-30 years.

Bottom Line

Owning more than one home has considerable benefits. If owning a second home is something you’re interested in, let’s connect to explore your options, discuss the benefits, and take the next step to start your home search.

Owning More Than One Home Has Multiple Benefits. Start Your Search Now.

So, if you’re ready to begin your search for your dream home or condominium in Southwest Florida, we encourage you to explore our website to find information about communities in the area.  If golf is your game, we specialize in golf community real estate.

There are more than 150 different golf communities in our area and most of them have a private golf course within the community.  It can be challenging to navigate the plethora of communities, membership options, golf course design, amenities and more. We will help provide you with a list of the top private golf communities which match your lifestyle.

Also, if you are considering new construction, remember the contractor’s real estate agent represents the builder’s best interest, not yours.  There is no cost for you to have an agent represent you. In fact, we may be able to help you save money and negotiate for extras which the builder may not let you know about.

Lastly, we will handle all contract negotiations via paperless transactions for your property from offer to close!

Should I use a Realtor if I’m buying New Construction?
