Southwood Home Sales Report

Southwood home sales are reporting strong unit sales, though with 53% of the sales reported are new home construction, it might not be such good news if you already own a home in Southwood. You see, just like everywhere else in Tallahassee, the existing homes for sale in Southwood have too much competition and prices are falling.

Subscribers to the Tallahassee Real Estate Newsletter previously received this graph showing the make-up of home sales in Southwood. It shows the homes sold in 2010 broken down into two groups, new home sales versus existing home sales.

Southwood Home Sales Graph

What this graph reports is that new homes are being built smaller and cheaper in Southwood now compared to what was built in the past, thus creating even more pricing pressure on the homes that exist in the inventory of homes for sale plus the shadow inventory of homes as reported last year.

Existing Home Sales In Southwood

Existing Home Sales In Southwood Tallahassee Florida

In the graph above, we see the average number of existing homes sold each month is about 5, and values have dropped to about $134 per foot. But new homes are being built and sold for $116 per foot, thus we are seeing an increase in the number of new homes selling and a reduction in the number of existing homes being sold.

Additionally, we can deduce that the existing home sellers who have failed to sell their homes are only adding to the inventory of homes that need to be sold, thus creating more pricing pressure than had previously existed. This is not going to be good news to Southwood homeowners who need to sell their homes in the next few years.

Advice For Southwood Home Sellers

My advice for home sellers in Southwood is two-fold:

  1. Take a good study of what is being built and do a thorough job of identifying how your home (built in the past) is built to a different standard than those that are being built today. If that is not the case, then the next point is all that concerns you.
  2. Determine the smart initial market position for your home and do not ask 1 cent higher! Price your home to sell, get it sold, and move on with your life. If you have to do a short sale to make this happen, do it today by talking to a Tallahassee short sale expert. If you home is not a short sale, the sooner you sell it the more you will net from the sale. Sell your Southwood home fast and don't look back!
