From time to time, we like to take a close look at home sales in Piney-Z in Tallahassee. Today, we’ll take exert some extra effort in the pursuit of quantifying the amount of depreciation that has occurred in Piney-Z, as well as studying the average sales price of homes that have recently sold there. Of [...]
Summerbrooke home sales are “fighting the fight” that we are seeing in most Tallahassee neighborhoods. Home prices are still dropping in Summerbrooke, but monthly sales are on the rise, which is a major step in moving the market towards a balance between supply and demand.
“We are going to have to wait until next year to sell our house,” is perhaps the concern that I am hearing most from upside-down homeowners, or those who have lost much of the equity in their homes. Perhaps they hope to rent the house out to a tenant for the next year or so, and then put the home on the market when it will sell for the values found back in 2006.
I was recently looking into home values in Unit 2 of Killearn Lakes Plantation and figured that my results would make for an interesting blog post at the Tallahassee Real Estate Blog. Killearn Lakes is the most active subdivision in Northeast Tallahassee, so I knew that whatever I found would be an important representation of current activity in the Tallahassee housing market.
Southwood is one of the most active neighborhoods in Tallahassee, thus we are often asked to provide updates on Southwood home sales and values. For those readers who have followed the Tallahassee Real Estate Blog for any period of time, this report will not be surprising.
Home values continue to fall in Southwood, though unit sales [...]
It has been quite some time since I published reports on home sales in the counties that surround the Tallahassee Real Estate Market. Because of time constraints, I usually get to this information on a quarterly basis, but it doesn’t hurt when I get several requests asking for an update.
Reminder: You do not have to [...]
A few weeks ago I wrote a blog about FSU Grads wanting to return to Tallahassee. It discussed the obstacles (jobs) to returning, as well as concerns about current and future home values. The blog was a response to a long-time reader who now resides in Ohio and would like to return one day.
After he [...]
Tallahassee has a lot of subdivisions for the number of homes in town. In 2009, there were home sales recorded in 806 of these Tallahassee neighborhoods (legally called Subdivisions). I decided to take a fairly quick look to see which neighborhoods were selling the most properties.
I went to the tax records for all of Leon [...]
This week is the final week of 2009, but it is also the final week of the “old” Tallahassee Real Estate Blog. We are working feverishly to bring the new site online, and I do not think you will be disappointed.
Some of the really neat things on the new site are ready and can be [...]
Housing Reports Without The Bias
February 16, 2010
Every month, we see new housing reports that are issued first by the National Association of REALTORS®, then by the Florida Association of REALTORS®, and finally by any local REALTORS® who actually pay attention to market reporting.
The one thing all of these seem to have in common is a consistent “spin.” Somebody at the National [...]
