Venice/Englewood Real Estate Market Update

The number of properties available for sale in the Venice/Englewood area real estate markets has decreased for the month of February, down 1.8% from January 2010; 3331 homes for sale to 3272 homes for sale.  Pending sales are up again, up 8.9% from January 2010; 514 properties pending to 560 properties pending.  Closed sales have increased from January 2010 by 24.5%, from 290 properties sold to 361 properties sold during the month of February 2010.  The increase in homes sold in the Venice FL area in February can be attributed to a variety of reasons; Buyers utilizing the First Time Homebuyers Tax Credit of $8000 and Move Up Homebuyers Tax Credit of up to $6500 or Buyers taking advantage of the most affordable Venice FL Home prices in decades.  Even though we have seen an increase in homes sold in Venice FL for 2010, we are still in a Buyers' Market.  The Homebuyers Tax Credit will soon be ending (you have to be under contract by April 30^th to realize the $8000 First Time Homebuyers Tax Credit or the $6500 Move Up Credit and you do not have to have your primary residence sold before you buy your new primary home to utilize the Move Up Tax Credit).  Mortgage rates are rising, currently in the 5% range and soon is expected to increase to the 6% range, still historically low rates and very affordable for homebuyers.

The Venice Area Board of Realtors (VABR) PR/Media Committee has been organizing a Regional Open House event to be held on Sunday, March 21st AND the Florida Realtors (FAR) announced a Statewide Open House Event for the weekend of April 10-11.  MARK YOUR CALENDARS!

In addition to Press Releases and announcements posted to various community calendars, VABR will also be promoting the event in both papers the week previous to and the week of March 24.  The value and success of this event will hinge on the involvement of all our Realtor and affiliate members.  The goal is to have as many homes open on that day as is possible!  Would suggest that:

Individual Realtors include their referral network in their Open House planning and use resources such as Home/Pest Inspectors, Mortgage Lenders, Title Companies, Stagers, etc.

Realtors, to our seasonal guests, we are often the face or the Ambassadors of our community. The members of VABR, by working together, can position Venice Realtors as the Realtors of choice for consumers considering buying or selling in the Venice Area.

If you are considering selling your home and would like to participate in this event please give me a call. I am happy to answer any questions you may have.
