The month of July shows no signs of slowing down in the Plant City’s real estatemarket. The area had 81 homes closed, 159 homes under contract and only 79 homes available to purchase. One concern is that our federal government is basically holding some of the available inventory hostage with the different moratoriums. The people they are intending to assist, will only be faced with higher purchase costs and a more intense demand. The unobstructed real estate supply and demand functions of our economy will prevail.
This month’s average selling price was $316,108 compared to $274,103 last month, a 15 percent price increase over the previous month and a 29 percent increase from the beginning of the year. The better news is that median price has increased to $295,000. That means that half the homes sold last month were higher than $295,000. The average days to contract have decreased to 7.9 days in July versus a year-to-date average of 18.5 days, meaning properties are going under contract quicker.
When we look at the average selling price per square foot, July 2021 was $166.25 per square foot, which was a slight reduction from the previous month of June. The area continues to have limited inventory, currently running about 26 days, but I really do not see any downside to the market anytime soon. The 30-year mortgage rates continue to stay in the low 3’s, employment rates are rising as pandemic conditions subside and the people relocating to Florida still on the rise.
Your main concern if in the market to buy or sell a property is to team up with a seasoned real estate professional to assist you in navigating through the entire process.
