Today, I want to share a quick market update for the Vero Beach area! 

If you're not living here in Vero Beach, you probably should be. Right now it's 82 degrees and sunny, and will be for the next week or so, if not longer! Because the weather here is so fantastic, buyers are flocking to our area! Vero Beach is right near the tropics line, so we get great weather without all the traffic, congestion, and crime! If you're interested in joining us in paradise, don't hesitate to reach out to me.

Right now, our market is in a very strong seller's market! When we look at a seller's market, we're looking at the number of available homes for sale and how long it would take to sell them all if no other homes were to be put on the market. Right now, there are 1,466 homes on the market, and in April, 415 homes sold; when you do the math, it tells us that we only have about 3.5 months of available inventory. When inventory is that low, it is great news for sellers, as you have a lot of leverage!

If you're looking to buy or sell a home, we would love to represent you and help you get the best price, the best terms, and the smoothest closing! We're always here to help you understand the market and make smart decisions for you and your family. Give us a call or shoot us quick email - we look forward to hearing from you!

Today I wanted to discuss the theory of supply & demand. As we all learned in school, when you have a small supply of something that is in high demand, you can trade it for a high price. According to the National Association of Realtors, buyer demand for homes has tripled from January 2014 to January 2015. 

This huge increase in demand is probably driven by a lot of factors. Consumers are feeling more confident in the market, and affordability is sky-high right now. Interest rates are incredibly low, and new loan products from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac only require 3% down on a home purchase.

What's even better for us here in Vero Beach is that inventory is extremely low, so if you're selling, you can catch a high price for your home. There will be a lot of buyers looking to purchase good homes, and if your home is staged correctly and marketed well, you can get top dollar for your home.

As always, please contact me with any questions or concerns you might have about real estate in Vero Beach!

Today, I'm coming to you from the boardwalk in Vero.
It's pretty quiet and calm here, but I've recently had to dust off my furry winter coat! Busting out the cold weather gear is not my favorite thing to do, but it really doesn't happen too often here in Vero Beach! I do like it when it gets cold up north, because people often flock here to escape the harsh weather and enjoy the sunshine and waves of our beautiful beaches! 

We sell a lot of homes in the wintertime. In fact, since December 1, over 500 people have moved to Vero Beach! While many areas in the Northeast have had record-low temperatures and record-high snowfall, we haven't had a single drop of snow here in Vero Beach this winter! The weather, while a bit colder than usual, is still fabulous! 

If you want to escape the cold and move to the Sunshine State, give us a call or shoot us an email. We would love for you to join us in paradise!

Even though we're still experiencing fabulous weather here in Florida, we are heading toward wintertime. This is the time of year when homeowners get skittish about selling; conventional wisdom has them thinking it's currently a bad time to sell a home. Today, we want to talk about why that couldn't be further from the truth.

The truth is, as we approach the holidays, we here at Vero Beach are at 15-year low of available inventory. That means it's a great time to put your home on the market. People who want to buy during this time are serious about doing so. While your friends are sitting around drinking eggnog and shopping, you could be showing your home. 

With inventory as low as it is, you will have very few homeowners to compete with when you list your home. People think the holidays are a bad time to sell, but, when you think about it, there are only four days over the next month you don't want people walking through your home. You can schedule your home showing to fit your lifestyle, avoiding days like Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve, and New Years Day.

The buyers who are looking now are often relocation buyers, who need to find a home by the end of the year, or who are trying to beat the spring rush to the market. Now is a great time to find an ideal buyer for your home. Additionally, buyers who are in a hurry are more likely to pay a little bit more for your home.

Give us a call today and we'll do a market analysis on your home. We can determine what you can realistically get for your home in today's market and discuss your options. We would love to help you take advantage of this market!
