Selling home in Coral Springs? Homes sold during January 2012 – what sold in your neighborhood in Jan 2012?
Selling a home in Coral Springs? Did you hear what sold at the beginning of the new year in January 2012?
Coral Springs single family home sales Decreased this month by almost 33% to 53 homes sold; quite a decrease yet in line from a year ago 2011 as January typically is not a strong month for home sales. Of these Coral Springs homes listed for sale below, almost 27% of them sold as a Short Sale, which is a increase from last month Short sales of 23%. Whereas, about 8% of the homes sold were REO/Bank owned which is another decrease from last month’s 13% which signifies the impact the onslaught of robo signing foreclosures had on the current distressed property owner as Lenders are now making sure their I’s are dotted and their T”s are crossed due to the fraudulent foreclosing of the past. This has decreased REO/Bank owned homes on the market for sale thus affecting number of sales. However, I don’t expect this to be the case for months on end as the inventory levels of REO/Bank owned will likely increase again as Lenders ramp up foreclosures over this year.
Increasing this month, almost 42% of homes sold in Coral Springs were distressed properties during January 2012; those homes that have been foreclosed on and those homes which are trying to avoid being foreclosed upon.

More homes for Buyers to select from will keep prices down for Sellers and less homes available for Buyers will let home prices rise. This month, Sellers will be pleased with a stable January Absorption Rate at 5.77. This indicates that based on the current available homes for sale, it will take 5.77 months to get them 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. 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.
