The central Florida real estate market is continuing to florish,
according to sales numbers contrasting this year from last year.
- 44% MORE sales have been made year to date over last year.
- 38% more homes sold in May this year than in 2008.
Driving this sales wave are the homes in "Special Circumstances":
- 51% of homes sold this year were bank owned or
"distress sales". The Knights Team reports on these homes
in city and community market reports every week. - This has driven the median home price in central Florida
down to $130,000. - The median price for "normal" homes being sold is $165,000
(Homes NOT being sold in distress situations), so home owners
who sell their home and do not tap into their equity should make
a good return on thier investment, assuming they have been in
their home for around 5 years or more.
Pending sales are also WAY up over last year at this time:
- There are over 6,600 homes currently pending to close, as
opposed to about 3,200 last May. - 3,400 of those homes under contract in May of this year were
put into agreements in that month alone, which is a forward
looking indicator of an further imporoving of the central Florida
real estate market.
The first time homebuyer affordability index is WAY over 100%, which means any person making the reported median state income of $35,600 or more can purchase a home from the over 6,500 homes advertized in the regional central Florida MLS for $155,000 or less.
