May 2009, Florida’s Existing Home and Condo Sales Up.

ORLANDO, Fla., June 23, 2009 – Florida’s existing home sales rose in May – the ninth month in a row that sales

Florida Real Estate

activity increased in year-to-year comparisons. This is according to the latest housing data released by the Florida Association of Realtors® (FAR).

Florida real estate sales showed gains over the previous month’s sales in both existing home and existing condo real estate markets. More impressive is for the first time in many months, the Florida median sales price in May rose over the previous month’s figure, April.

Existing home sales rose 16% for the month of May with a total of 13,921 homes sold compared to 12,044 homes sold in May 2008, according to FAR. Florida Realtors reported existing home sales in May, increased 6.2% over April’s activity. Florida existing condos rose 21 % for sales in May and existing condo sales in May rose 3.8 % versus April.

“The improving sales of existing single family homes and condos is a trend we have been seeing for several months in Florida – what is new in this month’s data release is that we are seeing evidence of prices beginning to firm,” says Dr. Sean Snaith, director for the University of Central Florida’s Institute for Economic Competitiveness. “While one month of data does not a trend make, it is the first green shoot we have seen in some time as far as prices are concerned; until prices stop declining, we cannot state with confidence that the housing market has stabilized. Sales have risen to levels we have not seen since 2006, though the economy still faces headwinds. As credit markets begin to thaw this will help speed along this process of recovery in the housing market.”

It’s still a great time to buy on Anna Maria Island although inventory has dropped again and our inventory has moved down slightly on the island. In addition, the amount of inventory has dipped to below 30 months.]

A few things point to the bottom has come and gone for Anna Maria Island Real Estate. Firstly, in the month of April, Island Real Estate of Anna Maria Island sales professionals averaged more than one contract every other day. The sales activity was similar to the highest activity months in 2004 and 2005. I suspect in the next few months we will see a continued drop in inventory and more importantly a substantial drop in the amount of months of inventory on hand. As supply continues to drop, prices will increase.

In addition, interest rates last week inched above 5.0% with several economists claiming our economic low has come and gone and we would see an improvement in the economy later this year.
