Manatee County Single-Family Home Market Update

Given how much inventory has risen year over year (almost 70%), it is surprising how much everything else in the market has stayed virtually constant. Sales volume, pricing, and cash sales as a percent of total sales re almost unchanged, inventory has risen from less than 2 months of sales to more than 3 months of sales. So, what does it all mean? Well, the market still favors sellers to some degree, but homes are now on the market for a more reasonable amount of time. Also, homes that have no business selling at the initial asking price are generally not selling at or above that price. I tend to prefer this type of market as there is some level of negotiating leverage no matter whether I am representing buyers or sellers. See the infographic below for more information from Florida Realtors.
