October 2016 Newsletter

Sales on Anna Maria Island for 2016 continues at a healthy pace. September 30, 2016 Y-T-D AMI sales were 282 (SF-170, Con-79, Dup-20, & Lot-13) still down 13% from September 30, 2015 Y-T-D at 323 (SF-193, Con-95, Dup-15 & Lot-20).

Sales in September 2016 for Anna Maria City, Holmes Beach and Bradenton Beach were 28 (SF-18, Con-8, Dup-2 & Lot-0) about even with September 2015 at 29 (SF-17, Con-11, Dup-0 & Lot-1). The last 12 months sales (Oct 1, 2015 to Sep 30, 2016) were 366 (SF-207, Con-112, Dup-30, Lot-17) still down 11% from the previous 12 months (Oct 1, 2014 to Sep 30, 2015) at 411 (SF-243, Con-122, Dup-20 & Lot-26). Of the last 12 months sales only 1% or 5 (SF-3, Con-1, Dup-1 & Lot-0) were distressed properties (bank owned or short sales) compared to 5% or 22 (SF-14, Con-7, Dup-1 & Lot-0) in the previous 12 months (Sep 1, 2014 to Aug 31, 2015). Although we’re running 13% behind last year in sales, which had 407 properties sold and was one of 3 years in the last 6 with sales over 400. Again, the low inventory is the primary reason we are running behind 2015 in sales. Inventory is currently at 287 (SF-158, Con-80, Dup- 19 & Lot-30). Inventory for the previous five months were 290, 298, 314, 303, 308. The inventory hasn’t been below 300 since 2005.

As I mentioned last month, two properties on Frank, Scott & Al’s Great Buy’s have gone under contract. See below for this months BEST BUYS.  The property at 307 Clark listed at $749,000 is due to close on 11/21/16 and 503 59th St listed at $560,000 closed on 9/28/16 for $549,500. Also since last month the two real estate only restaurant properties went under contract. The property at 1701 Gulf Dr. listed at $485,000 is due to close on 11/2/16 and the property at 9705-9707 Gulf Dr. listed at $1,100,000 is due to close at 11/15/16. Both contracts are cash and no inspection. Call me for more information on these or other real estate opportunities.

To summarize the Island market for the first nine months of 2016, we continue to run behind 2015 but we will end the year with another strong sales year. Pended properties continue to be strong and still well above the average. Pended properties (properties under contract) are at 46 (SF-28, Con-15, Dup-2 & Lot-1). Distressed properties continue to be non-existent with one single family that is a short sale and one bank owned multi-family property. The distribution of the single family sales on AMI over the last 12 months still hasn’t changed much with 18% <$500K, 32% 500K-750K, 16% between $750K and $1 million and 34% over $1 million. The distribution for Condo sales over the last 12 months also hasn’t changed much and was 83% <$500K, 14% $500K-$750K, 3% $750K – $1 million and 0% >$1 million.

These percentages have been pretty consistent over the last several years. Of the single family properties sold the first eight months of 2016, the average sale has been $933,505 and the median sale $772,750. In the first eight months of 2015 the average sale for single family homes was $739,941 and the median sale was $630,000.

For the 80 condos for sale the average and median prices respectively are $635,081 & $515,000 with the lowest $189,000 and highest $2,149,000.
