Gulf Front, BEACH Condo 3 bed 2 bath

A few steps down to the white sugar sand beach of Anna Maria Island. WOW

          Real estate sales on Anna Maria Island continue to outpace 2020 which was a historically high sales year.  Sales for the month of February 2021 were about equal to sales for February 2020 and  Inventory at 76 is lower than the pended properties at 95.  Sales for February 2021 for Anna Maria City, Holmes Beach and Bradenton Beach were 35 (SF-22, Con-12, Dup-0 & Lot-1) about equal to  February 2020 at 36 (SF-17, Con-14, Dup-3 & Lot-2) after being up 79% and 99% over the previous two months.  Sales are tapering off not because there is no demand but because there is no inventory. The inventory continues to be the lowest it’s been in 30 years and continues to be below 300 for thirty of the last thirty-eight months and seventeen of the last twenty months.  Inventory is currently at only 76 (SF-43, Con-19, Dup-7 & Lot-7).  Inventory for the previous thirty-eight months were 100,135, 145, 155, 162, 175, 196, 230, 261, 253, 274, 308, 314, 312, 289, 279, 282, 292, 296, 293, 305, 334, 338, 319, 291, 257, 249, 231, 214, 223, 240, 254, 267, 297, 297, 310, 290, 298, and again has hit a new low for this market.  Looking at the whole county single family sales for Manatee County January 31, 2021 Y-T-D were up again 26% above January 31, 2020 Y-T-D and the current inventory is down 64% from 2020 at this time.  The average sale price of a single-family home in Manatee County is $510,940 up 21% over a year ago. Again, this month….I CAN NOT say this strongly enough;  for those of you thinking of selling within the next year or two now would be a good time to put your property on the market while it still is a sellers’ market.  Historically this market has come about every 7-10 years.  As far as you buyers…buying sooner is better than later.  Call (941) 232-2216 or email me at alan@alangalletto.com  for an opinion of value or to start a search to find a property today.

To summarize the Anna Maria Island Real Estate Market beginning 2021, sales for February were about equal to February 2020.  The inventory continues to drop and continues to be the lowest I’ve seen it in 30 years, at 76 (SF-43, Con-19, Dup-7, Lot-7) down from 100, 135, 145, 155, 162 & 175 the last six months.  Pended properties (properties under contract) continue to remain strong at 95 (SF-53, Con-35, Dup-4 & Lot-3) above all but two of the previous nine months at 101, 87, 86, 90, 94, 112, 92, 71 & 42.  There are more pended properties than there is inventory. Distressed properties continue to be non-existent as they have been for the last couple of years with again none in the current inventory and only two in the last thirty-one months. The distribution of the single-family properties currently for sale on AMI continues to skew to the high end with only 2% or (1) <$750K, 7% or (3) between $750K and $1 million, 43% or (19) between $1 million and $2 million and 23% or (10) between 2-3 Million and 25% or (11) over $3 million.  The distribution for Condos currently for sale on AMI is 16% or (3) <$500K, 42% or (8) $500K-$750K, 21% or (4) $750K – $1 million and 21% or (4) >$1 million.  You can see that 98% of the single-family prices are over $750K and 91% are over $1 million while 58% of the condos were below $750K and only 21% over $1 million.  As you can see again single family prices continue to go up much faster than condo prices.  Of the current inventory of 43  “single family homes” the lowest priced property is $725,000 (a 2br/1bath) home at 203 Haverkos Ct. HB and the highest is $6,750,000 a .87 acre gulf front elevated home built in 2014 at 807 N Shore Dr. AM  Of the current inventory of 19 condos the lowest priced unit again this month is a 1br/1bath  condo at 1325 Gulf Dr. #220 BB at Tortuga listed at $349,000 and the highest $3,750,000 a 4br/3.5 bath direct gulf front Buena Vista,101 67th St. Unit 1, HB.  The prices for single family homes continue to move up rapidly while condos continue to creep up.  Of the single-family properties currently for sale on AMI, the average list price is $2,449,545 and the median list price is $1,935,000 and for condos, the average list price is $917,142 and the median list price is $684,900.

           Longboat Key current inventory has for the ninth month in a row dropped down again significantly to 75 (SF- 16, Con- 50, Dup- 2 & Lot- 7) the lowest it’s been in the last twenty months at 127, 129, 156, 172, 178, 199, 218, 275, 295, 337, 388, 386, 378, 364, 354, 309, 309, 274, 289,359 and significantly lower than the previous seven months at 388, 386, 404, 442, 461, 455, 452.
