Understanding Real Estate Sales Reports
Recently a reader left a comment (which I appreciate) indicating that he thought my data was incorrect for home sales in Southwood. In doing my research to validate the data, I figured I might as well turn it into a blog about current home sales in Southwood. The reader wrote:
Joe, I really enjoy reading your Blog, but I work in 2 of the communities that are in the top ten of your list, and I know that your figures are wrong!. Where did you get the figures for this list?? The sold numbers are nowhere near where you say they are?
This is where an understanding our source data is so important when reading real estate reports. Most real estate reports are based upon information from the local, regional, or national MLS, but unfortunately the MLS only represents 50-65% of what is actually selling in the market. For a complete understanding of home sales in Southwood, we need to look to the Leon County Tax Records.
So, here is what I've done. I've pulled the information from all of the sales recorded in Leon County (The Tallahassee real estate market) and have included the previous twelve month's sales below (note these are for sales RECORDED through October 31, 2008).
Southwood Home Sales Cooling
Here is a simple real estate graph of the homes sold in Southwood each month, with the 12 month trend showing as a red-line (average number of homes sold in Southwood each month for the trailing twelve months).
As you can see from the graph, less than 11 homes per month are selling in Southwood, down from a market high of 32 home sales per month in November of 2005.
