Thru the end of April, 2016 Y-T-D AMI real estate sales at 117 (SF-67, Con-32, Dup-11, & Lot-7) were down 28% from April, 2015 Y-T-D at 143 (SF-82, Con-44, Dup-6 & Lot-11). This is about where we were at the end of the first quarter, so we haven’t gained and are behind last year at about the same percentage.
Sales in April 2016 were 39 (SF-24, Con-10, Dup-2 & Lot-3) down 5% from April 2015 at 41 (SF- 21, Con-15, Dup-1 & Lot-4). The last 12 months sales (May 1, 2015 to April 30, 2016) were 381 (SF-213, Con-116, Dup-32, Lot-20) equal to the previous 12 months (May 1, 2014 to April 30, 2015) at 381 (SF-217, Con-110, Dup-29 & Lot-25). Of the last 12 months sales only 3% or 12 (SF-7, Con-4, Dup-1 & Lot-0) were distressed properties (bank owned or short sales) compared to 6% or 23 (SF-12, Con-5, Dup-6 & Lot-0) in the previous 12 months (April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015). Only one month in for the quarter but inventory is down and transactions are up creating a great absorption rate. Inventory is currently at 308 (SF-171, Con-90, Dup-21 & Lot-26). Inventory for the previous four months were 343, 342,328 and 309.

Anna Maria Island Real Estate Summary
To summarize the market for the first five months of 2016 has started off a little slower than 2015 which at this point in time in 2014 had about the same number of sales. But if you look at pended properties they are well above the average which could mean a continued strengthening of sales as we continue through the year. Distressed properties continue to be non-existent and will continue to be so. There is currently still only one distressed single family property in the inventory. Pended properties (properties under contract) continue well above average at 79 (SF-55, Con-21, Dup-1 & Lot-2) up from 51 last month.
