August 2017 -- The number of homes sold in Destin and vicinity has steadily grown since 2008. Both the number of sales and home prices have increased and continue to do so.
Near record low interest rates is one of the
primary factors driving the home market surge. New home sales account for
a significant portion of home sales growth as builders have responded quickly to
the increased buyer demand. This is the first time in a decade the average
home price has exceeded $430,000 with the Destin FL area.
The chart illustrates the number of Destin area homes sold year-to-date
compared to the same period the previous 9 years. The Destin area home market has
enjoyed substantial improvement in recent years. The market recovery
since local housing sales bottomed in 2008 is notable.
Home Inventory Trend.
Home inventory hit its high of 5,303 homes for sale in July 2007 and its most recent low in Jan.
2013. New home starts increased as builders realized the demand. The
once again inventory increased. However, the last two years of
unusually high home sales are again straining the supply of homes. The
home inventory remains low and just above the January 2013 low.
While
foreclosures are still available within our local home market they no longer
impact overall market performance.\
Foreclosures are one of those things in real estate that always enjoy a strong buyer following.
Nowadays however, caution is warranted with respect to finding true value in foreclosures. Banks and lenders realize the thriving Florida coastal market does not require the deep discount that prevail in other areas.
Buyers are often required to submit "Highest & Best" offers without knowing if there are other bidders or if they are bidding against themselves. Knowing the true value helps cool the emotion of a competitive bid that may temp the buyer into exceeding it. We're here to help.
