30A State of the Market


After the last five years of buyers who believed, "I'll go back in six months and it will still be on the market and at a lower price"; this year’s activity indicates a much different and improved picture for the local area.  We don’t have a crystal ball to predict the market, but we do believe, based on consistent trends we’re seeing, that 2012 may be the turning point for a healthier 30A Real Estate Market.  Following are some numbers we track that are of definite interest.
Home Sales year YTD UP 20%* over 2011
Home Sites Sales YTDS UP 85%* over 2011
Sales prices price* UP every quarter for previous 3 quarters. 
Foreclosures DOWN 28%*
Interest Rates DOWN at historic lows.  
All market indicators seemed to be headed in a consistent, positive direction and this fall we expect no significant change in those trends.  Whether you are considering purchasing or selling property, take advantage of ideal market conditions at the beach.
