Measuring mortgage delinquency rates is important for analyzing the health of the housing market. Despite recent stress in some areas of the country (mainly in the Midwest), mortgage delinquency rates continue to stay at near-record lows.

Whether you are looking to buy, sell or invest in real estate, it is important to understand market conditions. Real estate is hyper-local, with market dynamics changing from subdivision to subdivision. However, county trends generally give you a good idea of what to expect.

The local market for condos and townhomes is continuing its shift. When compared to last year at this time, the market moved towards a seller’s market across the all price points in Sarasota County. While we saw the same trend across most price points in Manatee County, the $400,000-$599,999 market moved in the opposite direction.
While we saw mortgage interest rates drop a bit to begin the last 30 days, they are now back in essentially the same place they were at this point in September 2019. The small recent change will save new borrowers over a $4.50 per month for every $100,000 borrowed. Average U.S. rates for 30-year fixed rate mortgages were at 3.65% as of this week. Last month at this time, they were sitting at 3.73%.
