A Seller's market for Homeowners

Forwarded by Bonnie Fagoh of www.tampacoastalhomes.com in Apollo Beach. A seller's market for homeowners ‎08-11-2014 11:35 AM Mark Burrage bylineSome good news if you are thinking about selling your house – based on supply, prices and how quickly deals are getting done, it’s a seller’s market in many areas of the country. The number of homes for sale in the U.S works out to less than six months of supply at the current rate of sales, according to the latest estimate by the National Association of Realtors. When there are more buyers than there are homes available (Figure 1), sellers typically have a better chance of getting their asking price. Inventories are exceptionally tight on the West Coast and in Texas and Louisiana. The median sales price of a home is about 5 percent more on average than a year ago, the NAR says, with the strongest gains coming in the West. And with supplies tight, homes are moving fast. More than half of sales are occurring within two months of listing, and only a small percentage of homes are still on the market after six months. Figure 1 Scales graphic.PNG One of the big reasons why housing inventories are so tight is that many would-be sellers are hesitant to hang a “For Sale” sign at the curb. In some cases, homeowners don’t want to give up the very low interest rate on their current mortgages. There’s also the worry that in a rising market they will have to pay more for their next home. If you are among those sitting on the fence, here are some factors to consider: As we discussed above, demand for homes is outstripping available supply. As a seller, this means you may have more pricing power than if supply and demand were more in balance, and it’s more likely that you will find a buyer quickly. In other words, you may have a better chance of a pleasant sales experience. The downside of a limited supply is that you may have a harder time finding your next home. You should be prepared to rent for a while to give yourself time to find the right deal. Housing prices are expected to keep rising at a moderate pace over the medium term. As the economy continues to improve and the jobless rate continues to decline, demand for homes may strengthen from the current level, so you may be able to get an even better price later. Rising prices may especially benefit those homeowners now “upside down” in their mortgages – that is, they owe more than their home is currently worth. A mortgage rate under 4 percent is a wonderful thing, and if you have that now, you shouldn’t give it up for just any old reason. That said, today’s mortgage rates are still very attractive by historical measures. They’re also likely to rise in the next year or two, so if you expect to sell and the only question is when, you should take this into account. At stake is more than just what you’ll pay on your next mortgage: Higher borrowing costs could also reduce buyer demand and thus your ability to sell. As a potential home seller, we advise that you work with a real estate agent to get a comprehensive view of conditions in your area. When it comes right down to it, the national housing market is a collection of local housing markets, each with its own unique supply and demand drivers. How you proceed (or don’t proceed) as a seller will almost certainly be shaped to some degree by those local factors.

Apollo Beach in Tampa Bay August 2014 update

Apollo Beach still has some of the best priced waterfront in Florida! I recently met a couple who had searched many areas of Florida up and down the coast. They wandered into a model townhome saying they wanted to find a waterfront home and didn’t really care for some of the “touristy” towns they had visited. They had never really heard of Apollo Beach until doing some research and thought this may be a good fit for them, with its close proximity to Tampa, St Petersburg, Sarasota, and Orlando. After taking them on a boat tour and showing them how they can even go by boat and be in Tampa in 20 min or St Pete in 25 min, they were convinced this was perfect for them. Of course, Tampa has the International Airport, NFL Football (Bucs), Hockey (Lightning), St Pete has MLB (Rays), beaches, and Orlando has Mickey! They were also happy to hear they could listen to live music on Tampa Bay at Little Harbour in Ruskin, and dine watching the sunset there or at Circles in Apollo Beach. After showing them about a dozen waterfront homes, mostly with pools, they decided to make an offer on a 4 bedroom 2200 sq ft updated pool home with dock and lift just a few minutes from the bay! They can even watch sunsets every night from their home. The home was listed for only $430,000 and after they close I can tell you what they paid. Just call Bonnie 813-390-7606 and I can help YOU live the dream too!

July Fishing Forecast

Hello Anglers, First of all I have to say thank you to all that fished with me in June. I met some great people and I feel like I made some new friends this past month. Thats the great thing about my job. After having such a dismal May I was a little apprehensive about what June would be like. Well, it was certainly a welcomed surprise. It was almost like May and June traded places this year. June was fantastic! As you will see in the pictures we did very well catching monster snook. Redfish seemed to be around every corner and the trout we caught were bigger than average for June. I tip my hat to Phil and Nancy Baumann. They won 1st and 2nd place in the Hillsborough County Sheriffs Tournament trout division this year. It's a very big tournament with a couple hundred anglers. I put a picture of them with there trophy in the report this month. That is the nicest fishing trophy I have ever seen. Let's get to July. I have to think the bite will slow down a little just because of the heat. Fish'em early or fish'em late will be the best thing to do in the heat. Grouper season opened in state waters July 1st so that will give a little more diversity to the list of targets. The shark bite will be good all summer long. I think I was able to hook a few folks on shark fishing lately with a few giants to the boat. Sharks are a great fish to fish for when the water gets hot due to the fact that we fish for them in deep water. I gotta keep this short. Until next time, good luck and be safe on the water. Remember: don't let your kid be the one that got away, take them fishing. Thanks, Ric Capt. Ric Liles REEL SIMPLE FISHING ADVENTURES CaptainRic@msn.com www.ReelSimpleFishing.com (813)601-2900
