Our Team’s Take On Current Market
June was a good month. Buyers who’d been sitting on the fence finally moved, and it showed everywhere. Sales were up across the board in both counties. Manatee single-family homes led the pack, up 26% from last year.
Inventory is tight. Single-family months supply hit 4.1 in both counties. That’s a seller’s market, plain and simple. If you’ve been thinking about listing, this is a good window. If you’re buying a house, be ready to move quickly and expect competition.
Condos are a different story. Prices actually dropped in both counties, and there’s still more inventory to choose from. So don’t lump houses and condos together when you’re making a decision. What’s true for one isn’t true for the other right now.
My advice: don’t just look at the countywide numbers. Ask us about your specific neighborhood and price range, because that’s where things can look very different from the headline stats.
