Concerned about the current housing market? This is still a great time to buy and sell a home along the 30A

Although the housing market is cooling off a bit, there are still many reasons to buy or sell a home along the 30A!

For buyers, unlike the housing market of 2007 and 2008, risky loans and mortgage deliquencies are low and interest rates are still within reason. Although home prices are higher due to demand during the pandemic, we are seeing inventory increasing. According to an article from CNBC, "As higher housing costs begin to max out some buyers' budgets, those who remain in the market can look forward to relatively less competitive conditions later in the year." 

For sellers, the 30A with its pristine beaches, year-round vacation feel and wide selection of entertainment and dining, remains a desirable location for those wanting to relocate or purchase a vacation/getaway home.

2022 Real Estate Trends for Florida

We learned some interesting Real Estate Statistics from the Florida Realtors Mid-Winter Business Meetings held in Orlando earlier this year.

Florida's top buying and selling groups include the millenials, who are the largest groups, in their mid-30's.  Don't count out the Gen Xers and in Florida, the retirees are always a part of the equation.

Top factors that need to be considered this year are the inflation numbers and how it will affect every day Floridians and their resiliency.  We've enjoyed a long run of historically low interest rates, but with the inflation fears the Federal Exchange is expected to raise the rates, some say as many as 6 times in 2022, some expecting it to ...
