The latest mortgage statistics show an improving market in Sarasota and Manatee counties as the numbers continue to improve. Both short-term delinquency rates (30 days late) and serious delinquencies (90 days + late) are lower than they were last year at this time. From a mortgage perspective, Hurricane Irma had significantly more impact than this year’s red tide.
The most recent data shows that there are roughly 54% less people 30 days late on their mortgages than there were last year at the same time. The total is only 2.9% (versus 3.2% last month).
The market for condos and townhomes above $400,000 has shifted in favor of buyers. When compared to last year at this time, the shift is especially pronounced when you reach the $600,000 and above market in both Sarasota and Manatee counties.
