Coral Springs Home Sales Market Report for March 2012 – what’s selling in your neighborhood?
Coral Springs single family home sales Increased this month by over 66% to 89 homes sold – WOW – we love seeing a bustling homes sales market when you’re trying to sell your home.
Of these Coral Springs homes listed for sale below, Sellers who completed a short sale were at almost 25% which is below last months Short Sales of 32%. We did see a large drop of REO/Bank owned sales down to less than 12% which is a large decrease from last month’s 22%. The pattern of up and down is hard to predict the Bank’s strategy. Maybe they will consider Short Sales as a better alternative. Time will tell as we see how we go through summer into the fall. This month has concluded in an overall drop in Distressed property sales totaling roughly 36%; down from last months total of 54%; those homes that have been foreclosed on and those homes which are trying to avoid being foreclosed upon. If you’re selling your home in Coral Springs, any decrease in the presence of distressed properties is welcomed as distressed properties keep prices depressed.
To compete with the distressed market, there are many things that a Coral Springs Seller can do to make their home stand out from the competition. Check out: Selling your home in Coral Springs – what it takes.
More homes for Buyers to select from will keep prices down for Sellers and less homes available for Buyers will let home prices rise.
During March, the Absorption Rate fell again to 3.57 which is a drop from February’s rate of 4.83. This shouts out Good news again if you’re selling your home! This indicates that based on the current available homes for sale, it will take 3.57 months to get them sold; it will take less time to get your home sold. Sellers want a lower Absorption Rate like this, indicating a greater demand for homes as this shows that there are less homes available for Buyers. Typically, whenever you see a supply of homes that is less than 5 months, it’s a “Sellers Market”. Continued lower Absorption rates can affect future increases in home prices.
Buyers will always beg for a higher Absorption Rate as this means they have more to select from providing Buyers with an
increase in opportunities for reduced prices.
