Sales on Anna Maria Island for September 2019 ran well above sales for September 2018 for the first month this year. Sales for September 2019 for Anna Maria City, Holmes Beach and Bradenton Beach were 22 (SF-11, Con-10, Dup-1 & Lot-0) up 38% above September 2018 at 16 (SF-8, Con-6, Dup-2 & Lot-0). Sales through September 30, 2019 Y-T-D were 286 (SF-180, Con-85, Dup-15 & Lot-6) down only 15% below September 30, 2018 Y-T-D at 335 (SF-194, Con-109, Dup-23 & lot-9) compared to the last two months year to date when we were down 15% so you can see the year to date difference between 2019 and 2018 has been leveling off. The inventory has dropped down again this month and has been below 300 for eighteen of the last twenty-two months. Inventory is currently at 279 (SF-154, Con-88, Dup-20 & Lot-17). Inventory for the previous twenty-two months were 282, 292, 296, 293, 305, 334, 338, 319, 291, 257, 249, 231, 214, 223, 240, 254, 267, 297, 297, 310, 290, 298. Again the lower sales this year-to-date over last year-to-date isn’t because of low demand but primarily because the inventory continues to be low and buyers are not finding what they want to buy so they wait until it comes on the market. Sales are still healthy for this market. Average sales for the last 15 years which includes 2004 and 2005 (the peak sales years) were 340. If you exclude the two peak years average sales for the last 13 years were 325. Based on the current trajectory we should end the year somewhere between those two numbers.
There is something for everybody on Frank & Al’s Great Buy’s list this month. If you’re looking for a duplex with a pool, steps to the beach, use one side and rent the other or rent both sides, then 3604 Gulf Dr. is for you.

Ready to be taken to the next level, this 2,909 sq. ft. 4bedroom/4bath Bimini Bayfront is the ultimate in boating paradise, deep water minutes to Tampa Bay or the intercostal; there is a MIL suite on ground level. If you want a great rental… another great property is 129 52nd St. HB. west of Gulf Drive and a block from the beach with 4bedrooms/4 baths.

To summarize the Anna Maria Island Real Estate Market for the first nine months of 2019 sales continue to run slower than the previous 5 years and Pended properties (properties under contract) jumped up this month again from 36 to 48 (SF-36, Con-11, Dup-0 & Lot-1) well above last two months which bodes well for a strong closing of the year. Distressed properties continue to be non-existent with one bank owned distressed property for sale on the island and none in the last year. The distribution of the single family properties currently for sale on AMI hasn’t changed much in the last year with only 4% or (6) <$500K, 17% or (26) 500K-750K, 18% or (28) between $750K and $1 million, 34% or (52) between $1 million and $2 million and 27% or (42) over $2 million. The distribution for Condos currently for sale is 60% or (53) <$500K, 25% or (22) $500K-$750K, 6% or (5) $750K – $1 million and 9% or (8) >$1 million. You can see that again 79% of the single-family prices are over $750K and 61% are over $1 million while 60% of the condos were below $500K. This distribution of single family prices and condo prices haven’t changed much and has continued to remain about the same for over a year. Of the current inventory of 154 single family homes the lowest priced property is $359,000 (seaside gardens again) and the highest is still $5,750,000 an old gulf front cottage on a one-acre lot (the cottage is about $50K of the value the rest is the lot). Of the current inventory of 88 condos the lowest priced is $214,500 (Bay View Terrace) and the highest $2,569,000 (still Vista Grande). The highs and lows for single family and condos haven’t changed for several months.
