Local January 2021 sales and trend information courtesy of The Crawford Group. Permit information was obtained from the City of Plant City.
Last month, 63 properties sold at an average price of $269,669, or $144.36 per square foot. Mitchell Crawford, of the Crawford Group, said the average selling price per unit has increased 7.1 percent over the yearly average and 21 percent from January 2020. He added that homes last month spent an average of 34.1 days on market versus 49.6 days in January 2020.
Last January, 63 homes sold at average prices of $208,662 and $118.62 per square foot. Last year, the average selling price was $244,978 and $134.77 per square foot.
“The numbers, any way you look at them, are strong,” Crawford said. “The limiting factor is supply. We have very limited supplies for the new buyers out there, which accounts for less than one month’s supply of available homes to sell. You have to get creative to win the contract war with so many buyers competing — one of the many reasons to use a real estate professional in your transaction process. P.S.: If you purchased a home in 2020 and closed prior to Dec. 31, 2020, please don’t forget to apply for your Homestead Exception. The deadline to file is March 15. This will save you on your real estate taxes in the coming year.”
