It is a Great Time to Buy a Luxury Home!

Although the luxury single family home market ($1M+ homes) is much better balanced this year than last, it is still a strong buyer’s market in both Manatee and Sarasota counties. 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.

Mortgage Rates Have Flattened Out

We saw mortgage rates stay essentially flat last month after a rapid rise to start this year. Average U.S. rates for 30-year fixed rate mortgages are currently at 4.55%. At the end of last month, they were sitting at 4.56%. While it is great to see upward momentum reverse for the time being, the general forecast continues to be for a slow continued rise over the rest of the year.
