What does it all mean to you? What are Coral Springs FL Real Estate trends? Where is our Real Estate Market headed?

 

During February, the Absorption Rates  which show the available inventory of homes, now shows an average rate of 5.49% which is a increase from January at 4.88% and up from a rate of 3% in December. (Please know that Absorption Rates vary by neighborhoods. I’d be happy to go over your neighborhood’s specific absorption rate so you know what to expect when you’re ready to get your home sold. Some neighborhoods are still experiencing a strong Seller’s market)  Once you reach an Absorption Rate of 6%, we’d be considered experiencing a Balanced market between Sellers and Buyers.  The trend is taking us towards a Buyer’s market where Buyers will place more demands upon Sellers.  I can’t express it enough if you’re a homeowner considering asking; “should I sell my home now” the answer is “YES”, now is the time while the ball remains more so in your court.  There is currently 5 months worth of homes available for sale. As time goes on and moves towards a Buyer’s market, the inventory of homes will increase offering Buyers a larger selection from which to choose from making it more difficult for your home to stand out. If you want to sell your home in Coral Springs, call me and I can tell you how I’ll get your home sold for top dollar and fast! When you’re seeing the market move towards being more stable, this reduces the number of Buyers that will be competing for your home when you get ready to sell it, as there will be more homes for sale.  You remain in a favorable position when competition for homes available for sale is brisk.  When the market turns to excess inventory, the price and timeline of selling your home can be affected adversely.  Don’t wait to sell your home when it moves in to a Buyer’s market and their demands will increase, such as wanting more from you as a Seller and their willingness to pay top dollar for your home can wane.

 

We’ve had prior uncertainty in the Real Estate Market while observing median home sale prices fluctuating up and down from $309,00 to $325,000 since the last quarter of  2013. With homes prices trending higher along with mortgage interest rates, this has impacted the number of Buyers able to buy a new home as they get pushed out of the market or they’re concerned of the strength of the economy.  However, with Federal Reserve chairman Janet Yellen signaling, just the other day, that she believes the market continues to need the help of low interest rates for some time to come, this should entice more Buyers back into the market to purchase homes. With rates low and Buyers entering the market, this signals ripeness for Home Sellers NOW! It’s not the time to wait.
