Where have all the listings gone?

Ask any local REALTOR®  and you will hear the same thing – “I need listings”.

Compared to this time last year, listing inventory is considerably lower.  This is great news if you are a seller, because with fewer homes to choose from, buyers may act quicker on making a purchase, for fear of losing out.  Sales prices also start to get closer to asking price.  In June of 2014, the absorption rate was 11.59 months.  In mid May 2015, it has dropped to just 8.7 months.

Here’s how it works:  The Absorption Rate, in Months chart shows how long the current inventory of properties would last at the current rate of sales.

If
no new properties were added to the market, and sales continued at a
steady pace, the Absorption rate indicates the number of months required
to sell all the properties on the market.

Absorption rate is based on two numbers:

  • The number of active listings
  • The average number of listings sold per month for the previous n months.

The
number of active listings is a “snapshot” of listings active on a
single day (the 15th of the month). The number of months of sold
listings, here, is 12.

The formula is Absorption Ratio = A ÷ N
Where A = listings active on the 15th of the month, and
N = the average number of listings sold during each of the previous 12 months.

New Listing – 108 N. Bounty

Last week, a listing came on the market that got a lot of attention – a large bayfront home for just $423,900. Upon closer examination, this home has some major issues – including being built without an active building permit. despite failed inspections, and an expired permit, construction continued. There is speculation that this home will have to be bulldozed. This explains why the price is what it is. It is essentially being marketed as a vacant lot, listed at land value only.  Still, I am sure some investor will take a chance on it and try to save the building. Time will tell.

Pending Sale – Key Largo Yacht Club

Pending sales included a beautiful 3 bedroom townhome at Key Largo Yacht Club with direct open ocean views. This complex is off the beaten path and is very quiet and serene. There is also not one, but two deeded boat slips included with this property in the protected marina. The home was offered fully furnished for $875,000 at time of contract.

Sold Listing – 120 Columbus Drive

Sold listings included an all concrete home on Lower Matecumbe for $479,000. This canalfront home needs some updating, but it is in a great location and was priced to sell.  Listed for $499,900, it sold in just 48 days for $479,000.
