Pending and contingent home sales data are very important metrics when determining how strong real estate sales will be in the months ahead. I like to carefully review this information for each of the communities where I am most active on at least a monthly basis as it gives me a heads up on what the future might bring for my clients.
When a bilateral contract is entered into there are typically contingencies, historically mainly for home inspections and financing, but in today’s world more often that not they are short sales waiting for third party, or bank, approval. Once these contingencies are lifted the change should be properly recorded into the MLS system as “pending”. History shows us that the large majority of pending listings will ultimately close, usually within the next two months. The volume of both contingent and pending listings is a good leading indicator of what we can expect in closed sales of Juno Beach homes in the weeks ahead.
Over the past 30 days in Juno Beach we have seen a significant decrease in pending home sales with 3 on January 15th down from the 6 we had on December 15th. These numbers point to the probability of a significant decrease in closed transactions over the next 30 to 60 days in Juno Beach. With the season upon us and incredible opportunities in every neighborhood we hopefully will be seeing nice increases in both pending listings and sales in the coming months .
A professional real estate agent watches the market trends very closely as the data is very important to our clients, whether they are buying or selling, to paint a picture of where the market may be heading.
