Marion County Florida Short Sales vs Other Sales

By
Real Estate Agent with Innovative Realty Solutions Group BK3158345

Marion County, Florida is part of the Central Florida Community. 

As of today, there are 39 of 4265 listings that are short sales in the County.

Pending Sales in the County are 1,383 with 19 of them short sales.

Sold listings in the past 60 days are 1,393 of which 1 listing was a short sales.

Short sales are starting to increase in the area. If you are not familiar with a short sale, it's time to get familiar. I don't see a huge market drop line we saw nearly 20 years ago because lenders learned from their past mistake of flooding the market. However, there is bound to be a market shift as a result of short sales.

If you want information, feel free to contact me. I did over a hundred short sales back in the day.

Dee, sorry to hear the short sale stats are increasing!   Hate to see those days return!

It is definitely concerning to see those numbers ticking up, Dee. It sounds like you are ahead of the curve by identifying these shifts early—your experience with short sales back in the day is going to be such a valuable resource for your clients in this market.

Good morning Dee. Hard to believe that short sales are increasing given the appreciation of Florida pricing in recent years. But, it appears the true professional should brush up on their short sales skills. Sometimes you just hope you won't have to use them but are prepared anyway. Enjoy your day.
