“Ultimately, leadership is not about glorious crowning acts. It’s about keeping your team focused on a goal and motivated to do their best to achieve it, especially when the stakes are high and the consequences really matter. It is about laying the groundwork for others’ success, and then standing back and letting them shine.”

– Chris Hadfield

What Does Our Market Look Like Right Now?

We’ve been noticing a lot of great trends lately in the Florida market. Homes are selling quickly and many are selling above list price.

I wanted to take a moment to talk a little about our current market and what trends we are seeing as we head into the fall market.

We are currently experiencing a seller’s market in Florida, meaning there are more buyers than there are sellers. Houses are selling in mere days with multiple offers and offers over asking price are becoming more and more common.
It’s an amazing time to sell.

Home values have consistently climbed over the last two years. I was just looking at the median prices and I noticed a surprising trend. In 2006, which most consider the most recent “boom” in our market, the median price was $224,000. The current median price in the country is $244,000. We have seen a huge increase in median sales prices around the country in the last few years.

Interest rates right now are also very attractive. They are in the mid to low 4% range and driving the market for buyers. This is causing us to see increased prices and increased demand.

If you price your home correctly in alignment with its market value, you can expect to sell in less than 30 days and pretty darn close to asking price, if not above.

We are seeing growth across the entire county. It’s an amazing time if you’re considering selling or buying. If you have any questions for me, don’t hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you.
