To summarize the Anna Maria Island market for the first nine months of 2018, it’s continuing with very strong sales Y-T-D up 5% over 2017 which as I mentioned again in last month’s newsletter, was an exceptionally strong sales year at 401 properties sold, in only four of the last fourteen years have we had yearly sales over 400. If you look at the chart, yearly sales 1993 to 2018 you can see if this year continues as projected it will be the highest sales in a year since 1993. Fourteen of the last seventeen months the inventory has been below 300 which is the lowest since the crazy years of 2003-2005. Attesting to the strong market on AMI, I have again left the article that I put in May’s newsletter from a personal finance site (GOBANKINGRATES- see attached article) that used data from Zillow comparing median home prices from January 1998 and January 2018 in 25 cities around the country to identify those where prices had gone up the most. Of the top 10 cities it’s not surprising that 8 were in California, 1 was in Hawaii and the #5 city was Anna Maria. Holmes Beach was in the top 25 at #23…. Which supports the great long-term value in property on the island.
The properties on this month’s Frank, Scott & Al’s Great Buy’s list since last month 3303 Gulf Drive – Pirates Cove #1 has gone under contract. If you’re looking for a great location in Holmes Beach with 180-degree views of the Gulf, then you must check out this one of a kind condo 5622 Gulf Drive Vista # 4 listed at $2,600,000 arguably the best built complex on the island with only 4 units in the complex. At the other end of the spectrum is 5608 Gulf Drive #102 at Sun Plaza West a gulf front complex listed at $529,000. Call me for more information on these or other real estate opportunities.
