Lots of Activity

[Bobby J]

I have noticed allot of activity in the market! Anyone else? It was great to see folks down over the holidays enjoying the beaches! It just seems there is some good energy making its way back here. Does this equate to sales...? My sales are up over last year! I believe time will tell but think we are going to be ok.

[Smiling JOe]

I recieved a partially signed contract today. Still waiting on a couple of missed signatures. Keep your fingers crossed.

The propertyfiresale.com airplane was active last weekend, that is for sure;-)

What type of RE is moving? SFH, condos, lots?

I have noticed allot of activity on SFH's. Not a tremendous amount of contracts or anything just allot of interest. Buyers will always win in a standoff but in this consumer world we live in buyers can not go too long before they have to start buying again. Allot of investors in town looking for deals!

I just sold and closed my home yesterday after 9 months on the market. Accepted a contract Wedesday, buyer paid cash and closed the sale Friday. I've had more interest in the last 7 days then I've had in the last 6 months. Things are DEFINATELY picking up

Yesssssss! You can buy me a celebratory Newcastle.

[Smiling JOe]

Yesssssss! You can buy me a celebratory Newcastle.I will gladly buy you a NewCastle, but I never celebrate until after the closing. This is step #1 in multi-stepped process.

Sorry. I didn't realize you had a problem with premature celebration. Or would that be premature elation? :biggrin:

[Smiling JOe]

Sorry. I didn't realize you had a problem with premature celebration. Or would that be premature elation? :biggrin:I'm experienced enough to not count my paychecks until they are deposited. There are congratulatory steps along the way, but they are not to be confused with the actual closing.

I have been following inventory from the following areas via Realtor.com since June of 2005... (Dont know if this will be useful info for anyone, but thought I would share)

Destin, Niceville, Crestview, Navarre/Gulf Breeze, and Freeport

All cities followed were at there lowest since I started following in June '05... Inventory includes sfh, condos/th, and land...

LOWEST #'s - June '05
Destin - 1124
Niceville - 158
Crestview - 309
Nav/GB - 1881
Freeport - 846
(Note: earliest # for Freeport dates to Apr '06... All others June '05)

All peaked around the end of summer of '06 then began to retreat... Peaks for '06 and lowpoint of early '07 given below...

Destin peak August '06 @ 2264
Destin trough January '07 @ 1856

Niceville peak September '06 @ 667
Niceville trough March '07 @ 593

Crestview peak December '06 @ 1713
Crestview trough April '07 @ 1448

Nav/GB peak August '06 @ 4704
Nav/GB trough January '07 @ 4099

Freeport peak November '06 @ 1064
Freeport trough May/June '07 @ 765

Now for todays inventory numbers...

Todays #'s - June '07
Destin - 2320
Niceville - 658
Crestview - 1575
Nav/GB - 4660
Freeport - 765

Compare todays to June '05 and you see the staggering increase in all areas followed (excluding Freeport) :shock:

LOWEST #'s - June '05
Destin - 1124
Niceville - 158
Crestview - 309
Nav/GB - 1881
Freeport - 846

So from my numbers Destin has a new peak as of June '07... Niceville, Crestview, and Nav/GB are all just a stones throw away from their peaks last summer into fall dependant on area... and Freeport is well of peak with what I believe to be a lot of cancelled projects rather than sales....

Will be interesting to see how the numbers play out throughout the summer...

As you can tell this is by no means scientific numbers but just data I have taken every few days via the same source (Realtor.com)

That equates to 5 to 10 years of inventory at current rate of sales, but probably higher as Jan-June are typically busier than July to Dec.

What were the average prices versus the median prices for each category?

Yes, but I'd say at least half of the current listings are unrealisticly priced for today's market and the sellers don't care if they sell them anytime soon.

Statistics show you the time to buy has passed you by.

I sold (check is in the bank) my lot in PT Washington on Friday so I am happy :clap:. That's one house and one lot sold since October 2006. Both of which for a profit, but more importantly at realistic prices. This would support the posts of some that if things are priced right they will sell, and neither were fire sales.

Also from what I was told about my lot, a fellow sowaller will have a new neighbor soon. :biggrin:

Details! Kids? Dogs? Airboat fanatics? Tomato thieves? Help me out here!

How do you know I was talking about a lot near you ;-)

All I know is that it will be a full time resident and it is not a flipping situation. Sorry I am short on details. By the way, no congratulations on getting it sold :idontno: Thanks :biggrin:

[JoshMclean]

I've had a lot more activity as of late also Bobby. Wrote up an offer for $800,000 yesterday and possibly one for $1.8 million today. Things seem to really be picking up.
