IS 2020 A BUYER’S MARKET OR A SELLER’S MARKET? The Answer May Surprise You
When clients approach us to list their luxury homes or seek out their dream getaways, they often ask the same question: Is this a buyer’s market or a seller’s market? We understand that curiosity! Whether we’re in a buyer’s market (where supply is higher than demand) or a seller’s market (where demand exceeds supply) can hint at the price you’ll be able to command for your home or the deal you’ll be able to score. Right now, the latest data from Realtor.com and other sources suggest that the market here in Naples is balanced. In March, the sale-to-list price ratio here locally was 96.36%, a score tilted only very slightly in favor of sellers. The median sale price was $381,000, and the median listing price for square foot was $218. From that data alone, you can see it’s a good time to buy or to sell in Naples — the best type of market we can ask for! Nationally, housing prices have been rising steadily for years, and Freddie Mac predicts they’ll continue to rise this year despite the economic slowdown as contractors work to
balance housing supply and demand. Still, as we detailed on Pg. 2, the coronavirus pandemic has made predicting market futures difficult. That said, here’s an insider’s secret about buyer’s and seller’s markets: They matter less than you might think. Whether the market is hot or cold, up or down, what matters most is that you have an experienced, tactically- minded realtor on your side representing your interests. A top-notch negotiator can always broker a favorable deal, regardless of outside pressures. Here at Kimberly-Vincent Luxury Real Estate, that’s exactly what we promise to deliver.
