What's selling in Coral Springs? Look at this April 2012 Home Sales Market report 

Coral Springs Homes sold Market Report April 2012

Coral Springs single family home sales stayed constant this month with 88 homes sold compared to March sales of 89 homes sold; reflecting stability. Continued bustling homes sales is always welcome when you're trying to sell your home in Coral Springs.

Of these Coral Springs homes listed for sale below, Sellers who completed a short sale were over 28% which is above last months Short Sales of 25%. Another large drop of REO/Bank owned sales this month down to less than 8% which is another drop from last month's 12%. This continued pattern of Short Sales staying constant with REO's declining indicates that Banks are looking more favorable at Short Sales. This is a good thing for the neighborhood.

Distressed property sales came out pretty much identical to last month's distressed property sales at roughly 36% with simply a shifting of the type of distressed property: A reduction in homes that have been foreclosed on and an increase in sales of those homes which are trying to avoid being foreclosed upon.

To compete with the distressed market, there are many things that a Coral Springs Seller can do to make their home stand out from the competition. If you're not sure what that may be, please contact me.

More homes for Buyers to select from will keep prices down for Sellers and less homes available for Buyers will let home prices rise. This result is reflected in the Absorption Rate.

April's Absorption Rate continue to signal good news for Sellers when you want to sell your home in Coral Springs

During April, the rate dropped to 3.53 from March's rate of of 3.57 which is a drop from February's rate of 4.83. Who's jumping up and down after hearing this news?! If you're selling your home in Coral Springs, you're doing the jumping! What this tells us it that based on the current available homes for sale, it will take 3.53 months to get them sold;  less time to get your home sold than last month and this pushes home sales prices higher.

There are neighborhoods in Coral Springs where the Absorption Rate is even lower. Do you want to know at what rate your neighborhood's homes are selling? 

Sellers want a lower Absorption Rate like this, indicating a greater demand for homes as this shows that there are less homes available for Buyers. Typically, whenever you see a supply of homes that is less than 5 months, it's a "Sellers Market". Continued lower Absorption rates can affect future increases in home prices.

Buyers will always beg for a higher Absorption Rate as this means they have more to select from providing Buyers with an increase in opportunities for reduced prices.
