Coral Springs Florida May 2012 Home Sales Market report

Read below to find out more about Coral Springs' market statistics when selling your home is on your mind

Coral Springs single family home sales in May had about a 10% drop in number of homes sold with 80 homes sold compared to April's sales of 88 homes sold; May is not always a busy selling month with kids getting ready to finish up the school year.

Of these Coral Springs homes listed for sale below, Sellers who completed a short sale were over 22% which is a decrease from last months Short Sales of 28%. REO/Bank owned sales this month crept back up to almost 18% which is an increase from last month's 8%; a third of these homes had been on the market a long time.. What percentage of the Coral Springs home sales market were that of distressed properties this month? 40% of homeowners were distressed Sellers this month. We did see an increase in homes that have been foreclosed on and a decrease in sales of those homes which are trying to avoid being foreclosed upon; a reversal of what happened in April. This is not a trend that we want to see continue as foreclosures are typically tougher on the neighborhood.

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.

 Coral Springs May Absorption Rate came in at 3.59

May is showing the Absorption rate continuing to stay pretty constant now since March. May's rate is slightly higher than April's rate of 3.53 and March's rate was at 3.57 which is a drop from February's rate of 4.83.  If you're selling your home in Coral Springs, you're happy! A lower Absorption rate is welcoming for anyone selling their home in Coral Springs as it tells homeowners that it will take 3.59 months to get their home sold. 

Are you selling your home in Coral Springs and want to know your neighborhoods Absorption rate? Call me and we can go over that if you like.

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 6 months, it's a "Sellers Market". Continued lower Absorption rates can affect future increases in home prices. We are experiencing a Sellers Market in Coral Springs.

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.
