The month of May continued to have robust numbers in Plant City’s Real Estate. The area had 80 homes sold, 125 homes under contract and only 65 homes available to purchase. This month’s average selling price was $264,110 as compared to $240,672 one year ago. Over the past five months the average price sold is running around $277,000 which is an 12.9 percent increase over 2020’s yearly average of $244,979.
When we look at the average selling price per square foot, May 2021’s average was $154.56 per square foot, which was a 3.3 percent increase over the previous month of April and 18 percent higher than the same time period last year. We continue to have limited inventory, currently running about 22 days. A good stable inventory should be in the range of four to six months, so I don’t see the market
Let’s take a look at a different economic aspect of the past month’s transactions. The 80 homes sold generated more than $21 million in sales, which was distributed between buyers, sellers, mortgage lenders, title companies, real estate professionals, governmental agencies, inspection services, appraiser, etc. I would estimate a good portion of those funds stay and benefit the community, capitalism at its intended source.
Typically, June is the start of the heavy selling season in Florida Real Estate. Schools are out, employees are relocating to different areas and such. The obstacles faced in this year’s season will primarily be limited inventory and making sure that you have a seasoned real estate professional assisting you through the process.
