Southwest Florida Golf Community Real Estate Trends

Florida Golf Community Real Estate TrendsYour go-to resource for Southwest Florida golf community real estate trends for Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero, Fort Myers, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, and Sarasota.

Similar to the last two months, inventory increased slightly in several of the luxury golf communities throughout the area. Additionally, the average sales price rose in most communities.

Almost all of the “equity” golf communities have multi-year waitlists. However, there are options for immediate golf privileges in those communities. It is important to have an experienced golf community expert help you navigate your options to ensure you find the lifestyle, community, and golf course of your dreams.

With more than 200 golf communities between Naples and Sarasota, 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 in Southwest Florida 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 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.

January Sarasota Housing Trends

January Sarasota Housing Trends

January Sarasota Housing TrendsThe latest January Sarasota housing trends showed 696 properties sold for just over $536 Million in the county, including North Port, Sarasota, and Bradenton areas.

The luxury market was strong, as evidenced by the 137 properties sold at $1 Million and above. The highest-priced sale was for a luxury condominium on Longboat Key for $10,995,000.

Overall, inventory ended the month at 5,120 properties for sale, up from 2,673 listings during the same time last year. There was a notable increase in inventory compared to the prior month. Inventory rose 15.7 percent in January, a net increase of 694 properties for sale, compared to the prior month when it only rose 3.7 percent. While the supply of condos has increased to the point where we have a balanced market, single-family homes are still low and therefore it is still a Seller’s market.

Florida remains a top destination for homebuyers and businesses. The Sunshine State was recently ranked the 2nd Best Small Business State in the country according to a Simplify LLC Study. Additionally, the state remains among the Top 5 States with the most inbound relocations according to a report by the Allied Van Line one of the nation’s largest moving companies.

Further, our state was ranked the Best State for Retirement according to WalletHub due to low taxes and miles of shoreline.

Are you ready to relocate to the Sunshine State?

January Sarasota Housing Trends – Single-Family Homes

2024 Sarasota County January Real Estate Stats - Single Family Homes

January 2024 versus January 2023 Single Family Home Highlights:

  • Closed sales increased 18.5 percent going from 411 transactions up to 487 sales.
  • Pending sales decreased from 1,057 last January compared to 815 this January, a 22.9 percent decline.
  • Inventory increased 75.4 percent up to 3,135 homes for sale compared to this same time last year when 1,787 homes were for sale.
  • New listings increased from 858 up to 1,196 which was a 39.4 percent jump.
  • Median days on market increased to 40 days which was a 37.9 percent increase versus January of 2023.
  • Available inventory of single-family homes ended January with a 4.9 months’ supply of homes available for sale which was up from 2.8 month’s supply during January of 2023.

Single-family home inventory continued its upward trend. Similar to the previous three months, inventory increased month-over-month by 13.4 percent, giving Buyers more options.

Like last month, there was a slight increase in days on market compared to the prior month. January ended at 40 days from listing to contract compared to 37 days in December. Typically, The low days on market combined with just a 4.9 month supply of inventory continued to give Seller’s the upper hand.

In addition, the median sales price increased to $535,000 which was up from $519,000 last month and up from $459,999 during January of the prior year. Also notable was the percentage of single-family home sales which were cash purchases. Just over 53 percent of all single-family home sales were a cash transaction which was up from 44 percent the previous month.

Bottom line: It remains a Seller’s market for Sarasota single-family homes.

January Sarasota Housing Trends – Condos and Townhomes

 

2024 Sarasota County January Real Estate Stats - Condos

January 2024 versus January 2023 Condo Highlights:

  • Condo sales decreased 4.6 percent going from 219 real estate transactions down to 209 sales.
  • Pending sales decreased 4.8 percent down from 354 last January to 337 this January.
  • Inventory increased 124 percent to 1,985 condos for sale compared to last January when there were only 886 units for sale.
  • New listings rose from 310 up to 440 or a 41.9 percent increase.
  • Median days to contract was 35 days, which was up from 19 days last year.
  • Available inventory of condos ended January with a 6.2 months’ supply of properties available for sale which was a 129.6 percent increase.

Similar to single-family homes, condo inventory increased significantly over last year. More importantly, inventory rose month-to-month for the sixth straight month. There were 1,985 condos for sale at the end of January compared to 1,662 units for sale at the end of December which was a 19.5 percent increase.

With the increased inventory the condo market is now considered balanced with a 6.2 month supply of condos for sale which was up from a 5.2 months’ supply in December. The increase in the number of condos for sale is good news for buyers. If you are a Seller, you should evaluate your list price to ensure it reflects current market conditions.

Additionally, there was a significant increase in the days on market which went from 23 days in December up 35 days at the end of January. Notable was the percentage of cash sales which was 71 percent of all condo sales. Now, with a healthy level of inventory, an increase in the days on market both Buyers and Sellers are on a more even playing field.

Bottom Line

Overall, it remains a Seller’s market for single-family homes and a balanced market for condominiums. However, market conditions remain very neighborhood specific. There are some neighborhoods with no inventory and others with a year’s supply. Whether you are buying or selling, we will help you navigate the market conditions within each neighborhood.

Value of an Agent When Buying New constructionIf you are Buyer, in addition to the increasing inventory, there’s also been a notable increase in new construction inventory for sale. As we approach the end of the year, there are several builders offering significant Buyer incentives. If new construction is a consideration, we’ll help you navigate your various options and represent your best interest over the builder. Should I use a Realtor if I’m buying New Construction?

Not ready yet? Since real estate is truly local, inventory will vary from neighborhood to neighborhood. Some neighborhoods have plenty of inventory and there are multiple options to choose from others will have little or no inventory.  Whether you are just beginning your search or you want to stay up to date on the latest trends in a particular neighborhood, now may be a good time to start watching for properties that meet your criteria.

Similar to last month, days on market rose slightly from 45 in December up to 49 days in January. Buyers continued to take more more time to decide on their purchase.
 
While the median condo price in January ended the month at $340,000 which was up from the prior year when it was $320,000, it was down compared to the prior month when it was $355,000.
 
Finally, the percentage of cash sales for condos remained increased even higher than the previous month. Almost 69 percent of condo sales were cash transactions, compared to sixty-five percent during December. If you plan on leveraging a loan for your condo purchase, you are still competing with many cash buyers.

Buying a New Construction Home

Why Having Your Own Agent Matters When Buying a New Construction Home

Buying a New Construction HomeFinding the right home is one of the biggest challenges for potential buyers today. Right now, the supply of homes for sale is still low. But there is a bright spot. Newly built homes make up a larger percent of the total homes available for sale than normal. That’s why, if you’re craving more options, it makes sense to see if a newly built home is right for you.

But it’s important to remember the process of working with a builder is different than buying from a homeowner. And, while builders typically have sales agents on-site, having your own agent helps make sure you have proper representation throughout your homebuying journey. As Realtor.com says:

“Keep in mind that the on-site agent you meet at a new-construction office works for the builder. So, as the homebuyer, it’s a smart idea to bring in your own agent, as well, to help you negotiate and stay protected in the transaction.”

Here’s how having your own agent is key when you build or buy a new construction home.

Use a real estate professional When Buying a New Construction HomeAgents Know the Local Area and Market

It’s important to consider how the neighborhood and surrounding area may evolve before making your home purchase. Your agent is well-versed in the upcoming communities and developments that could influence your decision. One way a real estate agent can help is by reviewing the builder’s site plan. For example, you’ll want to know if there are any plans to construct a highway or add a drainage ditch behind your prospective backyard.

Knowledge of Construction Quality and Builder Reputation

An agent also has expertise in the construction quality and reputation of different builders. They can give you insights into each one’s track record, customer satisfaction, and construction practices. Armed with this information, you can choose a builder known for consistently delivering top-notch homes.

Assistance with Customization and Upgrades

The most obvious benefit of opting for new home construction is the opportunity to customize your home. Your agent will guide you through that process and share advice on the upgrades that are most likely to add long-term value to your home. Their expertise helps make sure you focus your budget on areas that will give you the greatest return on your investment later.

Selling with an agent will help you negotiate a better dealUnderstanding Builder Negotiations and Contracts

When it comes to working with builders, having a skilled negotiator on your side can make all the difference. Builder contracts can be complex. Your agent can help you navigate these contracts to make sure you fully understand the terms and conditions. Plus, agents are skilled negotiators who can advocate for you, potentially securing better deals, upgrades, or incentives throughout the process. As Realtor.com says:

“A good buyer’s agent will be able to review any contracts before you sign on the dotted line, ensuring you aren’t unwittingly agreeing to terms that only benefit the builder.” 

Bottom Line

If you are interested in buying or building a new construction home, having a trusted agent by your side can make a big difference. If you’d like to start that conversation, let’s connect.
