Lots and Land Sales Rise In Tallahassee

It has been quite some time since we have reviewed lots and land sales in Tallahassee, and our update is quite revealing in terms of where the housing market is heading.

Currently, there are 623 lots and land for sale in Tallahassee, which represents more than 1 lot for sale for every 4 homes for sale.

Additionally, there are many more that are not listed, and we will see this abundance of developed lots and land continue to impact the Tallahassee real estate market.

In many Tallahassee neighborhoods, home builders are able to buy lots and land cheap and thus bring homes to the market at prices consistent or below existing home sales prices.

Lots And Land Sales In Tallahassee

The following graph shows that lots and land sales in Tallahassee have started to rise as land values decline.

In the real estate graph above, the green area shows that the number of lots and land sales are up 50% since the bottom of the land market in 2009 (currently averaging about 63 sales per month), while average values have dropped below $40,000.

The abundance of cheap lots and land could very well be a siren's song for home builders desperate to get their crews and sub contractors back to work. With the supply of homes for sale in Tallahassee already on the glut side, these new homes are taking the place of existing home sales which need to clear the market sooner or later.

I worry that these pockets of new construction might drive home values even lower in the neighborhoods that are seeing the greatest amount of construction.

Joe Wrote The Book On How To Sell A Home Today

“Location, location, location’ is no longer a competitive advantage. Digital marketing and going direct to consumer have made all geographical boundaries obsolete. The Business of Getting Business is a must-read modern-day survival guide for any local business to get to the next decade. Local businesses are on death ground.

They can either take a stand and re-invent themselves by embracing the digital frontier and have a chance to survive the overwhelming odds of digital direct-to-consumer capabilities that have erased all local and national business distinctions, or they can choose business as usual and accept certain death.

The Business of Getting Business is the critical survival guide for those that choose to dig in and fight.”
