Real Estate Market Sees Strengthening
Real Estate Market Sees Strengthening
Snowbird season is over, and now it’s time for the summer selling season.
Yes, there is a summer selling season. In fact, for the last three years the second quarter (April through June) was the strongest selling season in Cape Coral, followed by the third quarter (July through September). But all in all they were quite consistent all four quarters. So when is it a good idea to sell in Cape Coral? When the reason for selling is right for you!
In good times and in challenging times, one factor you cannot remove from the Cape Coral real estate market is the waterfront appeal. The old adage “Location, Location, Location” will never change in the world of real estate. And we’ve got the best of locations – 400 miles of canals, continuous sunshine, close to beaches/airport and affordable home values. These factors are the propulsion behind our strengthening real estate market.
In 2009 we saw the strongest market ever. This year is also off to a strong start. For the five months of the year, sales are more than 90 percent over sales at this time last year.
Foreclosures
The number of foreclosures in Cape Coral is falling. Buyers looking for foreclosure opportunities have fewer to choose from and steady competition from many buyers. For the first five months of this year, non-distressed sales accounted for almost 40 percent of the total sales. In all of 2009, non-distressed sales were only 27 percent of the homes sold. As the inventory of foreclosures and eventually short sales declines in the market, prices will rise and the regular (old fashioned) real estate transaction shall return.
The foreclosure media attention has certainly brought baby boomers to our area earlier than they may have intended to buy their retirement home. The baby boomers have recognized the value of buying their retirement home early and at wholesale prices. We all know that their money sitting in retirement accounts isn’t earning them anything, so it’s a no-brainer to buy your retirement home at the bottom of the market.
Inventory levels
The most important factor in any market recovery is the equalization of supply and demand. Fortunately for Cape Coral, we have seen a tremendous adjustment in supply in a favorable downward direction. For the past two years demand has been stronger than ever. Inventory levels are about one third the level they were at the beginning of 2006. This year is off to a great start. Sales continue to be aggressive even after the sunset of the homebuyer tax credit. The historically low interest rates and prices still far below replacement cost make this an excellent time to buy.
The housing future of Cape Coral continues to be much brighter than most of the entire country. Despite the economy, people will always want what we are blessed to enjoy every day – a warm, sunny and tropical waterfront living community.

Florida's existing home, condo sales rise in April
Florida’s existing home, condo sales rise in April
ORLANDO, Fla. – May 24, 2010 – Sales of existing homes in Florida rose 27 percent in April, which means that sales activity has increased in the year-to-year comparison for 20 months, according to the latest housing data released by Florida Realtors®. Another positive sign: Last month's statewide existing-home median price of $140,100 was 1 percent higher than the statewide median price in April 2009.
Existing home sales rose 27 percent last month with a total of 16,781 homes sold statewide compared to 13,244 homes sold in April 2009, according to Florida Realtors. Statewide existing home sales last month increased nearly 3 percent over statewide sales activity in March. Meanwhile, April's statewide existing-home median price was 2.3 percent higher than March's statewide existing-home median price of $137,000. It marks the second month in a row that the statewide existing-home median price has increased over the previous month's median.
"Buyers responding to the federal homebuyer tax credit before it expired helped to boost home sales across Florida," said 2010 Florida Realtors President Wendell Davis, a broker with Watson Realty Corp. in Jacksonville. "And buying conditions remain favorable, with a variety of housing options available in local markets at attractive and affordable prices. Plus, current mortgage interest rates are at historically low levels, which gives buyers more 'bang' for their buck."
Florida Realtors also reported a 55 percent increase in statewide sales of existing condos in April compared to the previous year's sales figure; statewide existing condo sales last month rose 2 percent over the total units sold in March. Though April's statewide existing-condo median price of $103,600 was down 3 percent compared to the year-ago figure, it was 6.9 percent higher than March's statewide existing-condo median price.
Seventeen of Florida's metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) reported increased existing home sales in April while all but one MSA had higher condo sales. A majority of the state's MSAs have reported increased sales for 22 consecutive months.
Florida's median sales price for existing homes last month was $140,100; a year ago, it was $138,100 for a 1 percent gain. The median is the midpoint; half the homes sold for more, half for less.
Thenational median sales price for existing single-family homes in March 2010 was $170,700, up 0.6 percent from a year earlier, according to the National Association of Realtors® (NAR). In California, the statewide median resales price was $301,790in March; in Massachusetts, it was $280,000; in Maryland, it was $235,785; and in New York, it was $209,900.
According to NAR's latest outlook, two trends are influencing a broader stabilization of home prices in housing markets across the nation: months of increased sales activity and lower levels of inventory. "Foreclosures have been feeding into the inventory pipeline at a fairly steady pace and are being absorbed manageably," said NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun. "With home values stabilizing, a revival in homebuying confidence will likely help the housing market get back on its feet even as the tax credit impact disappears."
In Florida's year-to-year comparison for condos, 7,291 units sold statewide last month compared to 4,703 units in April 2009 for an increase of 55 percent. The statewide existing condo median sales price last month was $103,600; in April 2009 it was $107,200 for a 3 percent decrease. The national median existing condo price was $170,600 in March, according to NAR.
Interest rates for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 5.10 percent in April, up from the average rate of 4.81 percent during the same month a year earlier, according to Freddie Mac. Florida Realtors' sales figures reflect closings, which typically occur 30 to 90 days after sales contracts are written.
Among the state's smaller markets, the Panama City MSA reported a total of 128 homes sold in April compared to 108 homes a year earlier for a 19 percent increase. The market's existing home median sales price last month was $160,000; a year earlier it was $156,800 for an increase of 2 percent. A total of 65 condos sold in the MSA in April compared to 53 units sold the same month a year earlier for an increase of 23 percent. The existing condo median price last month was $187,100; a year earlier, it was $172,900 for an 8 percent gain.
