To summarize the Anna Maria Island Real Estate Market for the first eight months of 2020, sales were 18% above the first eight months of 2019. The inventory continues to be the lowest I’ve seen it in 25 years, at 175 down from 196 last month. Pended properties (properties under contract) continue to stay strong at 104 (SF-65, Con-29, Dup-5 & Lot-5) close to last month at 112 and above the previous three months at 92, 71 & 42. Distressed properties continue to be non-existent as they have been for the last couple years with none in the current inventory and only two in the last twenty-four months. The distribution of the single family properties currently for sale on AMI continues to skew higher with only 2% or (2) <$500K, 4% or (4) 500K-750K, 11% or (10) between $750K and $1 million, 39% or (35) between $1 million and $2 million and 44% or (38) over $2 million. The distribution for Condos currently for sale on AMI is 43% or (29) <$500K, 30% or (20) $500K-$750K, 12% or (8) $750K – $1 million and 15% or (10) >$1 million. You can see that 94% of the single-family prices are over $750K and 83% are over $1 million while 43% of the condos were below $500K. As you can see again single family prices are going up much faster than condo prices. Of the current inventory of 89 single family homes, the lowest priced property is still $499,000 (a 2br/2bath, 1456 sq. ft. home at 2704 Ave B) and the highest is again $6,800,000 a 3/4 acre gulf front complex built in the 1940s but totally remodeled. Of the current inventory of 67 condos the lowest priced is again this month a 1br/1bath Trade Winds condo at $214,900 and the highest $2,295,000 again the 3br/3.5bath direct gulf front Palm Gables unit.
