Florida Realtors chief economist: More homes are being listed than you think. Despite record-low inventory levels, the reason for current buyer frustrations isn’t “fewer homes coming into the market.” It’s strong buyer demand – so strong that listings don’t stay active very long.
But in the same article, they state the following: “Here in Florida, there were only about 60,000 active listings of homes for resale as of the end of May. That’s a roughly 56% decline from the more than 135,000 homes on the market just one year ago, at the end of May 2020.”
So which is it? Let’s be real – the numbers speak for themselves. It’s still an amazing time to list your home if you’re looking to make a move out of Sarasota to make room for those that are waiting to move into our beautiful area. If you’re on the outside-looking-in, you better have a great REALTOR® that knows this area and the many HOA’s that dot the Sarasota market.
