March 2010 -- The home market is improving with the number of sales up 14% in 2009 and January and February stats continuing to show slow improvement. 2009 was the first year in the past 4 years that showed any market improvement with respect to the number of sales.
Falling Inventory. The number of homes for sale over the past 12 months has declined by 21% to 2,555 homes for sale.
Sales are up, but what about prices.? Home prices which have fallen for over 4 years have now stabilized largely due to the increased number of buyers and the shrinking inventory. Continued low interest rates and the tax credit have also favorably affected the market.
Destin home Sales are slow, but not stagnant. If you find that perfect home - go for it. Don't count on it being available later. Don't confuse "slow sales" with "no sales" and remember that there are likely to be other bargain shoppers looking at the same property you are for all the same reasons.
Looking for a Short Sale, Foreclosure, or REO Property? Financially distressed property sales accounted for 44% of all home sales in our local area over the past 30 days. Bargains can can be found in distressed property, but there are perils involved and experience is required. For example, all banks and lending institutions require "as Is" contracts which take away specific buyer friendly clauses. Also, as banks and other lending institutions have become inundated with short sale requests, the time it takes for bank review and acceptance of buyer offers has become longer and longer. Many banks now take 120 days and even 180 days to accept, respond, and close the deal. That means a long time in "limbo" for buyers. A "normal" deal between buyer and seller with no bank or lender involved can be completed in 30 days. Professional help with this difficult process is important - and available. Just call us!
Remember .. true bargains are scarce. Just because there is a lot of inventory doesn't mean there are a lot of genuine bargains. Buyers searching for bargains must do their homework. Although true bargains are scarce, smart buyers teamed a smart Realtor team can find them. We're here to help if you need us!
