Dear
Monthly Year-over-Year Comparisons
While October 2013 showed consistent, double digit gains, the gains were limited to only a 10.8% gain which falls short of the "hot" sales growth experienced in previous months. The dip to nominal, double digit gains in closed sales can be attributed to the fears and eventual Government shut down for the first half of October 2013.
Below represents some of the strong gains we have experienced in closed sales in the Marco Island Real Estate Market in 2013 (for a year-over-year comparison):
-
May 2013 -- 45.2% increase (in comparison to May 2012);
-
February 2013 -- 30% sales increase;
- April 2013 -- 20.6% increase;
- July 2013 -- 18% increase;
- September 2013 -- 16% increase.
- October 2013 --10.8% increase.
Note: The color coded line items above are reflected on the Closed Sales Trends chart below.
As sales volume increased in October 2013, the number of properties for sale continued to decline and represented levels not seen in over 8 years. Reference the inventory chart below to review the continued downward trend in properties for sale.
YTD Comparisons (1/1/13 to 11/20/13)

With "Car Trailer Season upon us", the season when all our northern residents bring their cars back to Florida for the winter months, we are excited about the continued buyer activity and lowering inventory levels for months to come.
