Vero Beach Real Estate Market News

Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist for The National Association of Realtors, recently published a report showing second quarter 2009 home sales were up across the county over second quarter 2008. I thought it would be interesting to see if the market in Vero Beach is tracking the national market. To do this I looked at sales/pendings for each quarter 2008 and 2009 for condos on the island, single family residences on the island and single family residences countywide. I also looked at the average selling price per quarter for each category to see if I could determine a shift in prices. The results are shown below:

This data shows that Vero Beach is tracking the national market and could be one of the developing hot spots that Yun mentioned since our second quarter 2009 sales are up 28% over the same period in 2008. I follow this data on a monthly basis which shows that the sales market stopped its decline in March 2009 but the price declines did not change until June. That basically is what this data shows on a quarterly basis.

What this means to you if you are a seller, your property days on market will likely decline. If you are a buyer, it looks like you missed the bottom and will face higher prices in the future. For more information or to search listings on Vero Beach Real Estate, please contact me.
