Where is that information
 
Where are you finding your information on home not sold in the new build areas. We are looking to buy ( a cottage home) .we are not seeing anything for sale.

Probably new housing listings?

If I wasn’t so lazy I’d add mine to list. :shocked:

All I know is there have been three listing's in my tiny village (one of the scattered sections of St Johns) that I noticed for sale. All three were off the market in less than two days.

Maybe St John's is just the place everyone wants to live...but for me, I do not see.this doom and gloom slow sales people are talking about.

In case not aware, you can use the Villages App. The data may be a week or so old. You can set a filter to only show the home styles of interest.

Best thing is to get a Villages Rep searching for you. Especially for the new ones in Wellpoint. Guessing they could be as little as 6-8 wks away from sale. There will probably be a lottery.

I just searched and saw no Cottage homes.


The Villages(R) App on the App Store

There’s three houses on my small street that all came on the market within a few weeks of each other. Let’s face it, the market has bottomed out. Too much inventory, both old and new, and not enough buyers. It’s seems all those so anxious to flee their former locales for the friendly confines of TV and Florida have already done so. All good things must come to an end!

Bottomed out? How do you know it won't go lower yet?

More likely people trying to turn a quick profit...

The pandemic caused a huge diaspora into Florida which drove prices to an inflated short-term high (bubble). Now theres fewer buyers due to higher interest rates also reducing rental investors. There’s much less of an impulsive motivation to move with immediacy. (Trying to tippy toe around obvious politics)

IMO increased consumer prices have made more of us doubt whether we can depend on the economic future of the middle class to resemble the past—shaking the confidence needed to make a big change too.

TV has discounted prices in the more undesirable areas, and some people might think the prices are falling: just not true. You can add DeLuna to your list and even with those discounts, I wouldn’t live in that area.
Have you tried buying a place in Eastport? Probably not because the lottery is invoked for new properties with hundreds vying for the same piece of land/house. How can somebody say the sky is falling when you have hundreds vying for the same piece of property?

Are a lot of the listed existing homeowners hoping to move to the newest areas? Seems like a lot of Villagers must do that.

Also, comparing the number of homes for sale now compared to any time before is not apples-to-apples bc TV has grown so much. Of course one would expect more homes for sale now. Listed homes as a % of total homes (then & now) in TV would be best but may be difficult to ascertain

It’s highly unlikely we have bottomed out yet, not one investment firm evenly remotely suggest it.

Here are some likely outcomes as we weather this through…

More affordable homes coming onto the market.
In May, there were 35.2% more homes for sale than a year earlier.
Every region in the U.S. saw gains in May.
No movement on interest rates in the short foreseeable future.

All these point to the gorilla in the room getting nipped….inflation

Actually, interest rates are completely normal if not a tad low right now. Borrowing money was not and should not be free. Tiny percentage rates on mortgages are ridiculous. The big pig in the room is inflation.

I saw a pound of store brand butter today selling for $7.99. That's just a sampling of how prices are continuing to soar.

We have a condo over at Cocoa Beach. It’s more for the kids and grandkids. We like the view also great place to watch space launches. It’s nice walking for exercise on the beach. Inventory of Condo’s and single family houses are definitely up in Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral. Almost half are sold for cash and sales are now slowing. Insurance rates are more than twice what we pay in TV.

It wasn’t hard to see the real estate bubble coming. Higher interest rates, higher insurance cost , and more inventory is quickly making it a buyer’s market for coastal property and to some degree TV property. If you don’t have a need to sell, don’t be concerned. This is normal.

Yep, just an MLS glitch apparently on the 100 new listings. Don't shoot the messenger. See you all as neighbor around the end of the year or before. Have a wonderful day one and all.
