Bonita closed sales significantly increase

BONITA SPRINGS CLOSED SALES INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY

Closed SalesOverall, both single-family home and condo closed sales increased significantly in February of this year.  Also, according to the latest reports released by the Bonita Springs-Estero Association of REALTORS (BEAR), pending sales also increased during February.

Bonita Springs Single Family Homes

Pending sales for single-family homes increased 2 percent.  Notably, in the $500,000 to $1 million price range, pending sales increased 16 percent. And, in the $1 to $2 million price range they increased 13 percent.

According to Jerry Murphy, Managing Broker of Downing-Frye, “The increase in pending sales is due to sellers making critical price adjustments. The continued increase in days on market reflect those homes that are still not priced at fair market value.”

Finally, the number of days on market continues to increase for single family homes in Bonita Springs and Estero.

Bonita Springs Condo Sales

The condo market is almost the same as it was last year.  As a result, agents are holding more open houses in Bonita Springs and Estero.  Buyers visiting open houses are looking for a lifestyle change or they are visiting the area and are considering a purchase.

As we approach the end of season, sellers are reducing prices.  Sellers do not want to pay the costs for their property through the summer.  As a result, you should see sellers become more open to negotiating.

Also, builders continue to add inventory to the market as they build New Construction homes.  Even though area builders and developers are offering attractive incentives, buyers interested in new construction should bring an agent to represent them.  Remember, the builder is looking out for their own interests, not yours.

“Many people are simply unaware that utilizing a real estate agent for their new construction home transaction does not cost them more money,” stated 2017 BEAR. President, Roger Brunswick, John R. Wood Properties. “In fact, it costs them nothing because the builder pays the commission.”

More choices and better prices

MORE CHOICES AND BETTER PRICES IN NAPLES

better pricesOverall, the Naples market is seeing better prices due to additional inventory of homes on the market.  According to the latest reports recently released by the Naples Area Board of REALTORS® for February, prices do continue to remain stable despite the fact inventory continues its upward trend.  In addition, activity has picked up for both pending sales and closed sales.

Market Trends:

  • Overall pending sales are down 8 percent for the 12-months ending  Feb. 2017
  • Overall closed sales are down 10 percent for the 12-months ending Feb. 2017
  • Overall median closed price is up 3 percent for the 12-months ending Feb. 2017
  • Inventory is up 16 percent from February 2016 to February 2017
  • Average Days on Market is up 25 percent from February 2016 to February 2017

Inventory

InventoryAs you can see, overall inventory rose 16 percent.  Inventory increased from 5,577 homes in February of 2016 up to 5,466 homes in 2017.  Overall, if you look at this same time last year, we’ve added almost 1,000 new listings to the market.  Additionally, the largest increase in inventory during February was for condos.  Inventory increased 23 percent from 2,599 condos last year up to 3,207 this year. In particular, condo inventory between $1 million and $2 million went up significantly at 43 percent.  So, this is good news for buyers who have more to chose from at better prices.  However, if you are selling your home, it does mean it might take longer to sell your home.

Pending and Closed Sales

SoldIn addition, overall pending sales increased 10 percent from 993 properties sold up to 1,092 sales when you compare February of this year to last year.  Similarly, overall closed sales increased 18 percent to 613 closed sales in February 2017 up from 518 closed sales in February 2016. On the positive side, the condominium market had the highest increases in both pending and closed sales. For example, pending sales of condominiums in the $300,000 to $500,000 price category had the highest increase of all other home types and price points in February with a 53 percent increase. And closed sales of condominiums in the $500,000 to $1 million price category had the highest increase of all other home types and price points in February with a 75 percent increase.

Median Sales Price

Overall the median sales prices remained stable at a 3 percent increase compared to the same month last year.  The median price increased from $323,000 to $333,000 during February.  However, when you dig into the numbers, prices dropped for single-family homes by 5 percent from $425,000 down to $402,000.  Additionally, as season progresses, anticipate further price reductions.  For example, during one week in February, there were 400 price reductions in just one week.

 

February 2017 sales statistics for all single-family homes and condominium:

CATEGORIES Feb 2016 Feb 2017 CHANGE
Total homes under contract (pending sales) 993 1,092 10%

Make Your House More Appealing to Buyers

How Do You Make Your House Stand Out From The Rest?

House More AppealingOne of the first questions I get from home sellers is “how do I make my house more appealing to as many buyers as possible?”  The market is competitive.  And, when you decide to sell your home, you are probably facing quite a bit of competition from other sellers.  Therefore, to stand out among the rest of the homes in your community, consider the following ideas.

Good Agent

First and foremost, hire a good agent.  A true professional will help market your home using numerous methods.  Many of which are not available to a homeowner without a professional.  Also, the agent should have a full marketing plan which includes online, print, in-person and email marketing.  Finally, be sure to follow your agent’s advice.  We are your partner and we want to help you sell your home quickly and for more money! However, it doesn’t matter how good your agent is if your house isn’t welcoming and inviting from the second a buyer pulls up to the curb.

Here are a few easy ways to make your house more appealing to buyers:

Curb Appeal

Curb appealFirst impressions are critical.  And the first thing buyers will see is the exterior of your home. Therefore, you want the first impression to be a good one, which is why you will need to do your best to increase your curb appeal. So do the following improvements and you will increase your home’s value:

  • Remove debris from your yard
  • Add flowers, plants, and mulch to improve your landscaping
  • Eliminate personal decorations
  • Touch up the paint, especially the front door

You want the exterior to look great. Also, remember you do not have to go overboard and spend a ton of money.  Do the work yourself and you can minimize your expenses.  Follow these tips and you will capture a buyers interest from the moment they see your home online or when they pull up to the curb for a showing.

De-Clutter

declutterHow long have you lived in your home?  Over time, you accumulate more stuff.  You may not even realize it until you go to move.  Unfortunately, too much clutter will negatively impact the value of your home. Clutter will make your home appear dirty and smaller than it really is. So before you list your home consider the following tips to de-clutter the inside:

  • Three-year rule – if you haven’t used it in three years, toss it
  • Donate items to a local charity. As a bonus, you will also receive a tax deduction
  • Sell items on eBay, Craigslist or Facebook groups such as an online yard sale
  • Rent a storage unit. If you can’t bear to give something up, put it in storage until you sell your home
  • Take a photo to capture your memory of items and then donate, sell or recycle

Also, avoid putting items in the closets and the attic.  Potential buyers will be looking in these places when they are considering a home purchase.  Ultimately, your goal is to make your home feel spacious and open.  Clearing the clutter out of your home can do just that!

Depersonalize Your Home

depersonalizationBuyers who enter your home want to be able to picture themselves and their personal belongings in the home.  Thus, if you have family photos, collections or trophies put them away.  Remember, this is only temporary until you sell your house or condo.

Additionally, you can look at this step as getting a head start on packing for your move.  Due to your preparation to make your house more appealing for buyers you will have less to do when it comes time to move on to your next home!

 

Neutral Colors

Neutral ColorsWhat color are the walls of your home? Or, what about the exterior of your house? Although you may love bold, strong colors, others may be overwhelmed.  Your goal is to appeal to as many buyers as possible.  Therefore, you need to think neutral.  For you it may seem bland, however, it makes it easier for buyers to envision what they would do if it were their home.  Hence, follow these tips to appeal to more buyers:

  • If you have murals, paint over them. Hint…take a picture first so you capture the image for memories sake.
  • Paint over dark or bright-colored walls.
  • Go with lighter, more earthier tones such as cream or beige.

Remember, you are moving and you will be able to paint your next home whatever color you want! Need some help? Ask your agent for suggestions.

 

Make Small Repairs

Home RepairsYou’re bound to have small little repair work that needs to be done.  And taking the time to fix the little things is one of the easiest things you can do to make your home more appealing to buyers.  Take a good look around the house, do the doors work properly? Are all the light bulbs lit?  Not only do you want to be sure the little things are fixed for the buyers, but you’ll also want to be sure they are fixed before any home inspection.  Here are some minor repairs you can do without breaking the bank:

  • Make sure all light bulbs are working
  • All doors and door knobs are working properly
  • Windows and doors open and close smoothly
  • Remove marks from walls and or touch up the paint
  • Remove stains from floors and carpets
  • Repaint over dark or bright colored walls
  • Clean tile grout

Walk around each room as if you are the buyer and ask yourself what you would think if you saw any imperfections.  If you take care of these items early, then you’ll save yourself money in the long run!

Brighten Up the Place

lightingLighting has a huge impact on how a home will feel to a buyer from the second they walk into your home.  The right light will make rooms look larger and more inviting.  Therefore, consider upgrading any light fixtures that are outdated. Also, for showings, turn on the lights to brighten up the place. And if you follow these tips it will help you sell your home quickly and for the maximum price:

  • Upgrade old light fixtures with contemporary lighting
  • Turn on all lights for showings
  • Put in energy-efficient light bulbs and make sure they are all working
  • Place lamps in dark areas to brighten up space

Also, check out this article for more ideas on how to stage your house in the right light.

Tip:  If you are on a tight budget and you live in an area such as Naples, check out the Habitat for Humanity store on Yahl Street.  This location has light fixtures, fans, appliances, and cabinets at low prices.

Keep it Clean

House cleaningA clean house is critical to first impressions.  Keep your house clean at all times. For some of you, this will be easy as you already love to live in a clean home.  However, if you are one to leave things on the counter and have toys or shoes all over the floors this might be more of a challenge.  Ultimately, a clean house will be more attractive to buyers.  You don’t want them looking at all the dirt instead of looking at the home itself and picturing themselves living in the home.  Follow these tips to make your house more appealing to buyers:

  • Hire a professional cleaning crew to do a deep clean
  • Wash your windows inside and out
  • Clean the grout on floor and shower tile
  • Pick up all toys, shoes, and clutter and put the items in their proper place
  • Remove all clutter from your countertops

In the event, you do not have the money to pay for a deep clean, do the best you can to thoroughly clean your home on your own. Ultimately, you want to make your house more appeal to as many buyers as possible.  Especially compared to other homes for sale in your neighborhood. Bottom line, if you keep your house clean and tidy before every showing, you will set your home apart from the competition. making your house more appealing.

Pet Issues

petsSo pets are great for people who love them.  However, for buyers who do not like or are afraid of pets, it can be an immediate turnoff. Your home may smell fine to you because you are used to it, however, in many cases, strangers can detect foul odors that may distract them from focusing on your home.

  • Eliminate Odors
  • Clean carpets and floors to remove pet stains
  • Pick up all toys and keep them out of sight
  • Leave the home with your pets if at all possible during showings
  • Pick up any poop in the backyard if you have dogs
  • Clean the litter box if you have cats
Even though many people are pet lovers and you want those people to feel as if your home is pet-friendly, you also don’t want alienate potential buyers. As a result, if you want to appeal to as many buyers as possible, then deal with your pet issues.

Follow Your Agents Advice

A good agent or broker will be able to provide you with advice to prepare your home for sale. Hence, tips like these are useful to get your home ready.  Yet, the most important thing you can do is take care of the issues your agent considers most important first.  Remember, your representative sees thousands of homes each year.  He or she hears feedback from clients almost every day.  Often times, the negative comments from buyers could have been avoided by following these tips.  Finally, follow the advice of your agent and you will increase your chances of a successful sale at a higher price.

Additional Home Selling Articles Worth Reading

Take advantage of these additional home selling resources when you are getting ready to put your home on the market.

Bottom Line to Make Your House More Appealing

Preparation and excellent representation by a qualified agent is key to making hour house more appealing than other homes on the market. As a result, you will sell your home quickly and at the highest price possible.

How Long Will Your House Last?

How Long Will Your House Last?

Have you ever looked at the house you are about to buy and wondered how long the pieces and systems will hold up?  Here is a guide to what you should expect when you buy your house or condo.

House

When you are buying a new home, you should take into account the condition of key features within the house.  For example, how old is the roof? Or what about he air conditioning unit? Or, what shape are the appliances in?  Otherwise, you may end up feeling as though every time you turn around you will feel you are being knickled and dimed to death.

Estimates:

  • Asphalt Shingle Roof should last 20 years
  • Air-Conditioning Unit should last approximately  10-15 years
  • Furnace should last between 15 and 18 years
  • Windows about  15 to 30 years
  • Heat Pump approximately 16 years
  • Exterior Paint will last up to 15 years
  • Home Security and smoke detector systems should last 5-10 years
  • Electrical switches and Sockets will last at least 10 years
  • Carpeting typically lasts 8-10 years
  • Shower enclosure will last approximately 50 years
  • Toilets should last the lifetime of the home
  • Tub and Shower Faucets should last 20 plus years
  • Kitchen Cabinets will last around 50 years
  • Kitchen Faucets around 15 years
  • Microwave Oven about 9 years
  • Enamel-Coated Steel Sink will last around 5 to 10 years
  • Dishwasher should also last about 9 years
  • Garbage Disposal approximately 12 years
  • Range or Oven should last between 13 and 15 years
  • Refrigerator around 13 years
  • Washing Machine will last around 10 years
  • Dryer will last approximately 13 years
  • Wood or Stone Flooring should last up to 100 years
  • Garage Door Opener around 10 to 15 years
  • Wood Deck will last about 10-15 years
  • Driveway (Asphalt) will last between 15 and 20 years

As you can imagine, use of all these components may alter the time frames.  However, this is typically what you should expect when purchasing a home.

Bottom Line:

Buying a home is a significant investment.  So when you are getting ready to make an offer on house get an inspection to make sure you are fully aware of any major improvements that may be required due to the age of the home.

If you are considering the Southwest Florida area such as Naples, Bonita Springs or Estero, let me be your guide.  The area is a great place to retire or relocate.  Especially if you are looking for a wide variety of activities.

January Cash Real Estate Sales

January Cash Real Estate Sales

cash real estate salesDuring the month of January, almost a quarter of all residential property sales were cash real estate sales.  Similarly, cash sales in December of last year were 21 percent.  As compared to last year, cash sales fell slightly from 26 percent to 23 percent in January,  according to the January 2017 REALTORS® Confidence Index Survey Report.

Who is Paying Cash for Real Estate?

Generally, buyers who pay cash for property are investors, buyers looking for good deals on foreclosures or second homes.  Also, foreigners are more likely to pay cash than other types of buyers. Due to the decline in distressed sales, the percentage of people paying cash for real estate has also declined.

cash salescash sales by buyer

What About Distressed Sales?

Overall, distressed sales only accounted for 7 percent of total sales in January 2017 and it was the same as last month.  However, it is 2 percent less than last year.

distressed sales

And Investors?

Lastly, investment sales accounted for 15 percent of sales in January 2017 which was the same as December of last year and down 2 percent from last January.  Most notably,  real estate investment purchases have been declining since the recession in 2011 and 2012. With fewer distressed sales available for purchase. Due to the significant decline in stress sales on the market, this trend is expected to continue.

Bottom Line:

Finally, when you are ready to buy a condo or home in Naples, you will find it is more complex than a typical home purchase.  Condos have various fees and assessments that are not always obvious when you begin your property search.  Also, if you have pets, there often restrictions on what type of pets and how big your pet can be. Lastly, demographics vary significantly in each community.

Bottom Line:

Finally, when you are ready to buy a condo or home in Naples, you will find it is more complex than a typical home purchase.  Condos have various fees and assessments that are not always obvious when you begin your property search.  Also, if you have pets, there often restrictions on what type of pets and how big your pet can be. Lastly, demographics vary significantly in each community.

So when you are looking for information about a specific community in Bonita Springs, Estero or Naples, contact me and I will prepare a custom market report for you.  I can help provide the market information and more importantly, provide insights to help ensure you select the best community to match your needs.
