How’s the market?

How's the Market?

First principle: Supply and demand is like a seesaw.

“Sellers Win” Market

"Sellesr Win" Market

Low inventory creates upward pressure on values. The SELLER has the advantage.  Time (meaning one to three years) is on the side of the seller.  For starter and move up properties, having one to four months of properties for sale may give the seller an advantage in negotiations.  For luxury priced homes, having one to seven months of properties for sale may give the seller an advantage.

“Neutral” or Balanced Market

"Neutral" or Balanced Market

If inventory and demand are balanced, values are normally stable. Neither buyers nor sellers have an advantage.  This type of market doesn’t normally last as long. For starter and move up homes, months of supply would be around 6 months.  For properties in luxury price ranges, this type of market normally occurs when there are around eight or nine months of inventory.

“Buyers Win” Market

"Buyers Win" Market

High inventory creates downward pressure on values. The BUYER has the advantage.  Time (meaning one to three years) is on the side of the buyer.  Unlike the stock market, real estate values tend to come down much more slowly than they go up.  After all, sellers are normally selling the home they reside in.  The same cannot be said when an owner decides to sell stock on the stock market.

"Sellers Win Market" vs. "Buyers Win Market"

Overall, affordability is suffering in Broward County with high property taxes and expensive insurance costs.  That being said, real estate is MORE LOCAL than the weather!  For example: it is possible to have a neighborhood of single homes next to a neighborhood of condos.  While a good storm would rain on them both, values could be going up in one due to low inventory while values in the other are flat or going down due to assessments or high inventory, etc.

The condo market has more variables to consider than the market for single family houses and townhomes. Oceanfront locations, 55+ complexes, assessments, reserves, minimum down payments, pending lawsuits and other factors can create unique markets for individual condominium complexes.

"Sellers Win Market"

Seller's Market
This is the type of market most Sellers in south Florida are accustomed to. Most of the homes for sale are priced IN the market. Prices for similar properties are in a smaller range. Only those that are severely overpriced are priced OUT of the market.

"Buyers Win Market"

Buyer's Market
In this type of market, most of the properties for sale are actually priced OUT of the market, and have no real chance of selling. In order to be priced IN the market, sellers in a buyer's market must price much more competitively and aggressively than their neighbors. Only the very best deals will sell.
