FALL SALES SURGE
Report Shows Inventory Declines 14 Percent
NAPLES, Fla.-November 13, 2009-Overall pending home sales increased at least 100 percent in October 2009
compared to October 2008 in each price category under 2 million, according to a report released by the Naples
Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR), which tracks home listings and sales within Collier County (excluding Marco Island).
“The number of contracts written in October 2009 (904 contracts) was more than twice the number of contracts
written in October 2008 (409 contracts). The volume of activity is significant at what is usually a slow time of year,”
acknowledged Mike Hughes, Vice-President of Downing-Frye Realty.
The properties in the under $300,000 market have led the way in sales for the past few months. However, the market
recovery is now working its way up to the higher priced properties. Pending sales in the $300,000 to $500,000 price
segment have increased 150 percent from 48 contracts in October 2008 to 120 contracts in October 2009.
“Low interest rates and the federal tax credit are helping to drive more sales. Buyers are getting off the fence,” stated
John Steinwand, President of Naples Realty Services. “Inventory continues to go down from its peak.”
The available inventory has declined 14 percent to 9,347 in October 2009 from 10,815 in October 2008.
The October report provides annual comparisons of single-family home and condo sales (via the SunshineMLS), price
ranges, geographic segmentation and includes an overall market summary. The statistics are presented in chart format,
along with the following analysis:
Overall home sales under $300,000 saw a 42 percent increase with 555 closed sales in October 2009
compared to 392 closed sales in October 2008.
Single-family pending sales increased 73 percent with 475 contracts in October 2009
compared to 274 contracts in October 2008.
Condo sales increased 49 percent with 254 closed sales in October 2009 compared to
170 closed sales in October 2008.
The overall median closed price decreased 14 percent to $190,000 in October 2009 from $221,000 in October 2008.
The median refers to the middle value in a set of statistical values that are arranged in ascending or descending order,
in this case prices at which homes were actually sold. It should be noted that in any given period the median could
vary greatly if there is an anomaly, a single sale that is significantly higher or lower than other properties in the area.
According to Brenda Fioretti, Managing Broker of Prudential Florida Realty, “Educated consumers are contributing to
the market rebound as sellers price properties competitively and realistically.

Downing-Frye Realty. “Choice properties that are priced right are quickly disappearing.”
The report, which provides annual comparisons of single-family home and condo sales (via the Sunshine Multiple Listing Service), price ranges and geographic segmentation, also includes an overall market summary. The statistics are presented in chart format, along with the following analysis:

A recession-proof home saleORLANDO, Fla. – July 1, 2008
It’s a buyer’s market, but sellers can increase the chance of a sale in today’s climate by working with a Realtor and considering these eight things.
1. Don’t count on open houses to sell your home. According to the California Association of Realtors, less than 5 percent of buyers find their home at an open house. An open house should never be the center of a prospective real estate agent’s marketing plan.
2. Target your marketing. Know what buyers in your area look for and emphasize your home’s appeal accordingly. This includes everything from the description (whether you highlight transportation and parks, or restaurants and nightlife) and how you stage the home (whether the third bedroom becomes an office), to where you advertise the listing (a newspaper in addition to online).
3. Tour similar homes in the area to better understand the competition – what a home sold for 12 months ago, or even six months ago, may not be a good estimate for today.
4. Consider staging your home. Although not always necessary, staging can make a difference in how your house is viewed and compared to others.
5. Offer prospective buyers a neighbor “reference” list. Make a list of your best, most reliable neighbors, so that buyers can reach out to get a better feel for the area, the locals, and what makes the neighborhood a truly unique place to live.
6. Photos posted online should be taken on a sunny day with a wide-angle lens. Approximately one-third of buyers who responded to a recent survey said they would eliminate homes they saw online if they had too few or poor quality photos.
7. Consider a pre-inspection to give you a selling edge. Include information about any repair work you’ve completed since you bought the home. If you don’t market your improvements, you won’t get as much return for them.
8. Once your house is on the market, accept feedback and tweak as necessary.

Let Save Our Homes Explain Portability in Florida...
Is Save Our Homes portability selling houses? Let Save Our Homes explain...
When people buy a home, they can apply for a $50,000 homestead exemption. If their home costs $100,000, the homestead exemption allows them to pay taxes on $50,000 instead.
There’s a second exemption, called Save Our Homes. If the market value of a house rises,
for example, from $100,000 to $110,000 in a year, or to $200,000 in 10 years, the county tax assessor can raise the market value of the house by only 3 percent per year. So a house worth $100,000 in 1998 can have a maximum market value of only $134,000 in 2008.That means the cumulative effect of Save Our Homes is enormous.On Jan. 29, Florida voters approved Amendment 1, which allowed homeowners to transfer the Save Our Homes exemption when they bought a new home. Its feature, called portability, would help sell homes, real estate agents said. People had been living for years in homes that were too large or too small, and that big tax break would be the catalyst for trading places.

Did you Know???
FLORIDA NO. 2 FOR NEW RESIDENTS
About 40 million Americans move each year, and Florida is the No. 2 spot for relocation, second only to California, according to a survey conducted by Relocation.com. The survey finds that 19 percent of those relocating went from owning their own homes to renting, with only 15 percent shifting the other way. Only 14 percent of the 1,237 respondents owned their previous residence and moved to a newly purchased home, and the majority (52 percent) went from one rental situation to another. The survey shows that most people relocate for a new job, a transfer within their current job or to seek a new lifestyle, including retirement. About half the moves were from one state to another. Two-thirds moved more than 100 miles and 54 percent moved more than 500 miles away. California is the number one destination state with 6 percent of the total sample moving there from another state, while 5 percent of all relocations move to Florida, followed by Texas (4 percent), New York (3 percent) and Georgia (2 percent).

Florida’s strong population growth boosts demand for housing!
As one of the fastest growing states in the nation, Florida’s population is expected to increase by 325,000 in 2008, spurring demand for working-age and retirement housing.
“Florida remains a prime destination for workers seeking new jobs and for the growing wave of baby boomers,” said economist Hank Fishkind, president of Fishkind & Associates in Orlando. “However, a slower national economy means that 2008 growth will be somewhat below the levels seen during the recent boom years.”
Fishkind’s analysis of demographic data indicates Florida enjoyed a net population growth of 350,000 each year from 2000 to 2006. That includes about 203,000 people who moved to Florida from other states, about 107,000 migrants from foreign countries and about 47,000 from natural increase (total births minus total deaths).
“It’s important to note that this is net growth,” added Fishkind. “The actual number of people who move to Florida each year is far greater.” On the domestic side, the strongest “sending” states are New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and California. Among top foreign countries are Venezuela, Puerto Rico, the United Kingdom and Canada.
“Florida has a long history of population growth regardless of the nation’s economic cycle,” said Nancy Riley, a broker with Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate in Pinellas County and the 2007 president of the Florida Association of Realtors® (FAR). She added that Florida has been one of the top ten fastest growing states for seven decades in a row, exceeding the U.S. average by 100 percent since 1970.
In fact, the U.S. Census Bureau projects that in 2010 Florida will surpass New York and become the nation's third most populous state. By 2030, the Census Bureau projects the state’s population will reach 28.6 million, an increase of 12.7 million since 2000.
One reason for that growth is that the state’s highly diversified economy continues to attract jobs in tourism, technology, international trade and business services. That brings in individuals, couples and families in their 20s to 50s, primarily to Florida’s larger metropolitan areas.
In addition, Florida traditionally captures a large share of the domestic retiree market, ranging from highly affluent entrepreneurs and executives to moderate-income couples seeking a warm-weather destination with plenty of recreational opportunities.
According to the Census Bureau, there are 76 million baby boomers born between 1946 and 1964. If only 5 percent retire to Florida, that alone would add 3.8 million new residents.
International buyers provide a third stream of migration into Florida, including working-age professionals, retirees and affluent second-home buyers.
As Riley said, “The bottom line is that more than 900 people move to Florida every day. That provides a solid foundation for our state’s residential real estate market.”
