Pending Home Sales Jump 6% in the Sarasota Real Estate Market in October 2011

Wednesday, December 7th, 2011 at 9:40am. 85 Views, 0 Comments.

The number of Americans who signed contracts to buy homes jumped in October to the highest level in a year.  The gain follows three months of declines so is not enough to signal a housing recovery.

The National Association of Realtors said Wednesday its index of sales agreements rose 10.4% last month to a reading of 93.3.

Pending sales in Sarasota and Manatee counties totaled 1,207 in October, up 6% from a year ago and 4.4% from September.

This information is from the Herald Tribune.

October 2011 Home Sales Surge, Prices Plunge in Sarasota

Wednesday, November 23rd, 2011 at 11:18am. 83 Views, 0 Comments.

Homes sales spiked by double digits in the Sarasota real estate market last month, but rising inventories of bank-owned properties pushed prices to near their Great Recession lows.

In the Sarasota real estate market, October's median sales price of $137,100 was only $800 above the low set in January. The price was a 13% drop from September and a 3% drop from a year ago.

The figures lend credence to arguments by some market observers that even in Southwest Florida, where a cadre of hungry investors have been snapping up just about every home available in the under-$200,000 price range, there is still room for prices to fall.

This information is from the Sarasota Herald Tribune.

Sarasota Condo Sales Up, Prices Drop in October 2011

Wednesday, November 23rd, 2011 at 11:17am. 65 Views, 0 Comments.

Condo sales rose 10% in October, with 254 units changing hands in the Sarasota real estate market; prices dropped 7% from a year ago and 1.5% from September. The median sales price was $119,100, according to data released this week by the trade group Florida Realtors.

Realtors say that banks are finally releasing some of the distressed properties they have accumulated in the last year but had to hold on to as they sorted out problems with faulty paperwork. That has boosted distressed inventories and pushed prices lower despite relatively brisk sales.

This information is from the Sarasota Herald Tribune.
