Venice Florida Real Estate Market Report

Is the Venice FL real estate and Englewood FL real estate getting any better? If you look at the statistics as compared to 15 months ago, September 2007; YES it is getting better but we are still in a declining market. The inventory is down (not as many homes available for sale) and more homes have sold and were are under contract to sell. The number of homes for sale in the Venice FL and Englewood FL markets combined as compared to 15 months ago has dropped 13.8%. Homes that have closed has risen 25.9% and homes under contract are up 115.3%.

The average days on the market (DOM) has dropped from 146 to 112 and list to sales price ratio although has fluctuated over the past 15 months is still at 91%, which means that the average home is selling for 8% - 9% off the stated list price.

If you want to sell your property you need to dramatically increase the Buyers attention. Buyers are looking for the best home at the best possible price. Did you know that within 15 seconds a Buyer has developed an opinion of your property? Sellers need to work on the curb appeal of your home (see my September 2008 post on curb appeal), tear down that old funky wallpaper, put on a new coat of paint, remodel the kitchen, and whatever else is needed to attract a Buyer. Showing attention to detail and understanding the Buyer's needs is essential for a successful sale.
