Luxury Home Sales On the Rise

High-end Seller's may finally have something to smile about with regards to sales in the $1 million-plus-market.  Everyone has been waiting for some good news and it seems that the tide has started to turn...slowly, at least.  Sales in the higher end showed a 42 percent increase from August to September and were up a whopping 170% over the same time last year as reported by MSC.

The market has also seen the number of pending contracts increase, too.  Nearly a 77% increase from last year. 

What is also interesting is that home sales are down 23% from last year.  This suggests that the market is continuing to find its balance.  If these numbers hold true, we are likely to see small increases in property values.

With a strong inventory of homes over $1 million dollars, Sarasota is primed to move a large number of homes during the upcoming season.  And with rates hovering around 4%, there may not be a better time.  People will look back in 5 years and will look like geniuses.
