Real Estate Sales on Anna Maria Island for 2018 were a little under 2017. December 31, 2018 Y-T-D AMI sales were 397(SF-234, Con-131, Dup-223, & Lot-9) down 1% from December 31, 2017 Y-T-D at 403 (SF-225, Con-135, Dup-25 & Lot-18).
Sales in December 2018 for Anna Maria City, Holmes Beach and Bradenton Beach were 18 (SF-12, Con-6, Dup-0 & Lot-0) down 30% below December 2017 at 26 (SF-16, Con-7, Dup-2 & Lot-1). Of the 2018 sales only .7% or 3 (SF-1, Con-1, Dup-1 & Lot-0) were distressed properties (bank owned or short sales) compared to 1.5% or 6 (SF-4, Con-1, Dup-1 & Lot-0) for 2017. As you can see by the charts below the numbers since 2010, which was where the market bottomed from the peak of 2005, the annual sales continue to be strong in either the high 300’s or low 400’s. The inventory continues to be very low and remains below 300 this month again for the eighth month in a row and for seventeen of the last twenty months. The average inventory over most of the past 30 years has been 400-450 properties for sale at any one time. Inventory is currently at 291 (SF-179, Con-73, Dup-23 & Lot-16). Inventory for the previous thirteen months were 257, 249, 231, 214, 223, 240, 254, 267, 297, 297, 310, 290, 298 as you can see all below 300 every month but one. Low inventory with strong demand means it’s more of a sellers’ market.
There is something for everybody on Frank, Scott & Al’s Great Buy’s list this month. If you’re looking for a starter property in a Gulf Front complex, then 5608 Gulf Drive #102 is for you. The unit has new tile flooring and bright light décor and overlooks the tennis court and pool. If you’re looking for a unique condo that is also a very good rental, then 6700 Gulf Dr. #7 is the one for you. This 1,600 sq. ft. 3bedroom/2bath direct gulf front condo is the ultimate in beach living with panoramic views of the gulf. Walk right off your lanai onto the sand. Although it hasn’t been rented by its current owner, Vacasa projected it would do $90K-$100K in gross annual rental. See these and more properties below.

To summarize the Anna Maria Island real estate market for 2018, we ended up down 1% compared to 2017 which was one of the strongest sales years since 2010 as you can see from the charts below. Pended properties (properties under contract) are at 30 (SF-19, Con-9, Dup-2 & Lot-0) which is about average. Distressed properties continue to be non-existent with again this month no distressed properties for sale on the island and non in the last six months. The distribution of the single family properties currently for sale on AMI has dramatically skewed upward with only (5) 3% <$500K, (34) 19% 500K-750K, (44) 24% between $750K and $1 million and (97) 54% over $1 million. The distribution for Condos currently for sale has bumped up a little from last year and was (39) 51% <$500K, (21) 28% $500K-$750K, (7) 9% $750K – $1 million and (9) 12% >$1 million. You can see that 78% of the single family prices are over $750K while 51% of the condos were below $500K.
