Jacksonville Beach Market Data 5/08 - Condominiums

By
Real Estate Agent with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Florida Network Realty BK 3030920

Here are the numbers of active property listings, those under contract, and sold properties for Condos in Jacksonville Beach, FL for the month of May 2008:

  • Active              362 active listings for condos (no single family homes)
  • Pending               13 pending  (inspections & financing have been done)
  • Sold                 9 sold (prices ranged from $125,000 to $650,000)
  • New Listings       51

This is the first market report for condos that I've posted. The active listings have declined 23% year to year. I imagine most owners decided to rent their units and wait for the market to rebound in this category rather than take a hit now.  The pending listings are technically flat, however, there  is one more unit pending right now, which is better than the Single Family Data I just posted.

New listings are down 17% year to year as well; sellers are really looking at what is going on in the market to determine if they will realize a profit or not before they list.

The sold listings are down, almost identical to single family homes; I imagine as we move through the summer months and financing gets settled we will see more condos move, especially as they are more affordable for 1st time homebuyers at the beach.

Here are the May 2007 numbers for comparison:

  • Active              470 active listings for condos (no single family homes)
  • Pending               12 pending  (inspections/financing have been done)
  • Sold                 23 sold (prices ranged from $141,500 to $1,525,000)
  • New Listings       62

It is a wonderful time to buy, so if you are ready, give me a call, and I'll show you all the options that fit your lifestyle and budget.

And, if you are selling, I will give you solid pricing information based on where the market is now.
