June 2013 Real Estate Market Update!
By Pam Keen Brantley in Pensacola, FL~
Number of Homes Available in the Pensacola metropolitan area:
At the end of June Pensacola Multiple Listing Service (MLS) database showed:
April 2013 - 490 April 2012 438
The average days on the market for listings has decreased with 136 days on the market compared to 166 days on the market in May 2012.
The average sold price for May 2013 is higher at $178,775 compared to $175,733 a year ago in May 2013. The average sold price for June 2013 was considerably higher at approximately $190,000 in Pensacola MLS.
Homes sold in all price ranges and locations including Pensacola Beach, Pace, Milton, Gulf Breeze, Navarre, Cantonment, Perdido Key, Beulah, and of course Pensacola. A piece of land sold in Pensacola as low as $3,000 while a 6,000 square foot waterfront home in Gulf Breeze sold the highest at $1,300,000.
Other Important Factors:
Last Friday, interest rates jumped up almost a percent which marks the biggest increase in years. Interest rates are creeping up (as are prices) so if you have been on the fence about whether to buy or sell it may be time to jump into the Pensacola Real Estate Market.
Those who need to sell in order to move may consider taking a small loss on the sale of a smaller home to take advantage of the still low prices on new construction or upscale resales.
If you need to move you may also consider renting your home out for a few years while the market improves. Realty Masters is the largest property management company in Escambia & Santa Rosa Counties with over 750 rentals managed.
The Pensacola Rental Market is thriving! Rents are increasing. 3 and 4 bedroom rental homes are in high demand. There are currently 7 times as many homes for sale in the Pensacola area as there are for rent. Rents will continue to rise as supply is low.
