Even though most of our area was spared with the Hurricane, it affected our sales in October. Many of the closings that were scheduled were delayed because they had to re-inspect the homes and condos before they could close and we also had several days of offices being closed.

Housing stats surged 25% for the US in October according to USA Today. The mortgage market is adjusting to a new-found sense of growth. The new Presidency has promised infrastructure spending, tax cuts, and employment growth, all if achieved will bolster GDP growth with an improved economy. Along with that will come slightly higher mortgage rates, according Prime Lending.

Fortunate and blessed is what many people are saying now after Hurricane Matthew. Trees are down, and a mass cleanup is going on to pick up the limbs and debris. People suffered more along the rivers and continue to suffer with power outages and flooding. Don’t let that discourage you from visiting the beach as the areas that were hit hardest were the areas surrounding us.

The market remains strong, with Single family residential number of transactions up and still out selling the number we had in 2015, plus the sales prices are up for the year by 3%. Condos showed an improvement for August, but lots sales are still lingering. As you can see from the numbers, single family homes are up over our strongest year of 2006 and condos are slowly catching up. Lots are still suffering mainly because investors were buying in 2006 and the people purchasing today are planning on building.

Our paper reported a record of over 18,000,000 people visiting our area this year! I feel this is why so many people are looking at making this their primary residence. We have a lot of things to offer.
