Making the Best of Our New Household Dynamics

Hello there! As we prepare for the coming weeks of being home with our families, a lot of us are asking ourselves the same question: “How am I going to keep my children entertained without leaving the house?” This is without a doubt a daunting task. With our twenty-one-year-old recently rejoining us and our twelve-year-old in our home, finding activities the whole family can enjoy is tough. Luckily, they are independent and enjoy their “personal” time.

What’s Most Important?

The guidelines on how to help us all stop the spread of coronavirus are rapidly changing. I am sure they will be materially different next week than then are today. When in doubt, take the conservative approach. The lives you save by doing so may be your own or your family’s. When everything normalizes again in a few months, we will be happy we took the steps we did.

Update on the Local Luxury Home Market

While the luxury single family home markets ($1M+ homes) in both Sarasota and Manatee counties are strong buyer’s markets, they look better for sellers this year than last. The most significant movement for sellers is in Manatee County where the months of available inventory has dropped over 40%.
Markets are generally considered in “balance” when there is about six months of inventory for sale at the current pace of home sales. When the inventory gets greater than that, buyers tend to have more leverage than sellers in negotiations.
