Residential Real Estate Market to See Continued Improvement in 2013

January 9, 2013 by Estelia Mesimer 2 Comments

Estelia Mesimer has seen an increase in residential real estate sales in 2012. This home at 6000 51st St Saint Petersburg, which was originally listed at $549,000, sold earlier this month.

Estelia Mesimer has seen an increase in residential real estate sales in 2012. This home at 6000 51st St Saint Petersburg, which was originally listed at $549,000, sold earlier this month.

The residential real estate market is gradually improving in Florida, according to a myriad of factors presented at the recent Florida Realtors® 2013 Real Estate and Economic Forecast Conference in Orlando. Prominent U.S. economists at the event projected that the residential real estate market in Florida will continue to escalate in 2013, but the pace could be slower than the United State as a whole.

“We believe the housing market is on firm footing,” Fannie Mae Chief Economist Doug Duncan said at the conference. “Most of the improvement we’ve seen has come from the supply side of housing. Distressed properties are coming down from about 5 million to more like 3 million.”

According to Dr. John Tuccillo, who is chief economist for Florida Realtors, the real estate market “bottomed out in late 2008” based on market date from Florida Realtors, information from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and other market research.

“Since the beginning of 2009, we’ve clearly seen a regrouping and a recovery underway,” Dr. Tuccilo said.

According to Dr. Tucillo, some of the signs that Florida’s residential real estate market is improving include:

  • A months’ supply of single-family homes is now under six months
  • The latest data (from October 2012) indicates that 44 percent of closed sales were paid in cash, which indicates a strong demand from investors
  • Foreign buyers compose 19 percent of closed sales in Florida (based on date from October 2012)
  • Traditional sales now feature more than 50 percent of Florida’s closed sales
  • Closed sales are made up of fewer REOs (real estate-owned) and more short sales
  • The shadow inventory has been decreasing since 2009; however, it remains an important factor in Florida’s housing market going forward since this is a judicial foreclosure state (which means that foreclosures undergo a court process)

Based on the scenario that the country’s fiscal problems are postponed if they are not resolved, Dr. Tuccilo told conference attendees that he believes employment in Florida will increase 10 percent in 2013, as will residential real estate sales. He also believes the inventory will expand as the market improves.

“I think the improvement in the market and rising prices will bring more potential sellers back into the market,” Dr. Tuccilo said. “Signs point to a better year in 2013.”

    Whenever you add together the better odds and also the actual funds bonuses
    it is hard to beat the value of an internet casino.

    Also, online casinos are exceptional for beginners or advanced players,
    because you can play what you want, when you want, for free, or for real money.
    But the idea of playing games for a living continues to be
    very appealing. It is reasonable for a car dealership
    to offer a prize of a car.
