Weston Real Estate Market Trends May 2009
June 8th, 2009 categories: General RE Info, Market Update, Tips For Buyers, Tips for Sellers
Is Weston’s Real Estate in a Balanced Market?
In the month of May 2009, 59 single family homes sold in Weston, Fl. By the beginning of June there were 492 active SFH listings in Weston. That means we had 8.3 months of inventory based on Closed Sales. On April we had 8.6 months of inventory based on Closed Sales. Granted we are in the “Hot Season”, not only for the temperatures, and the begining of the Summer are the months of more sales activity in the city. As a refence of how much the market has improved last year in April we had 12.5 and in May we had 11.9 months of inventory based on Closed Sales. A balanced or healthy market is one where we have 6 to 9 months of Inventory based on Closed Sales.
In the Month of May the breakdown by price was a follows:
Under $ 199,999.00 : 4 Homes
Between $ 200,000.00 and $ 399,999.00 : 32 Homes
Between $ 400,000.00 and $ 599,999.00 : 18 Homes

Weston,Fl May 2009 Sales SFH
Where are the Bargains?
Of the 59 sales in May 2009 in Weston,Fl 11 were Short Sales and 5 Foreclosures. The Myth that only Short-Sales and Foreclosures are selling seems to have no basis. Two of the Bank Owned Properties sold above the Asking Price (not much though) and the other 3 very close to the asking price. Four of the 11 Short Slaes also sold slightly over the asking price. in the regular sales the list to price ratio was 94% (not including the sales over 1,000.000.00 since they would throw out the averages).

Weston Real Estate Single Family Homes Sales 1st Quarter 2009
April 10th, 2009 categories: Great Deals, Market Update, Tips For Buyers, Tips for Sellers
In Broward the Future Looks Bright!
Compared to the same period 12 months ago the number of sales have increased almost 50% and inventories have been decreasing steadily.
In Weston the Market is Changing Very Fast!
The Inventories have decreased and pending sales are increasing at a rapid pace.
As the Real Estate Market changes it’s very interesting to look at the comparison between the price properties were listed at and the actual price they sold.
When looking in detail at the List-to-Sale ratio I found an interesting difference between the ratio for regular sales, short sales and foreclosures. Motivation seems to be the key to pricing!
“92.53% Average List-to-Sale Ratio for Regular Sales
“95.19% Average List-to-Sale Ratio for Short Sales
“94.91% Average List-to-Sale Ratio for Foreclosure Sales
I can conclude that as we have been experiencing in the last months…Buyers are looking for bargains and apparently they feel prices are as low as they are going to get and the properties priced appropriately are getting those buyers.

Weston Real Estate in Numbers as of Feb. 09, 2009
February 10th, 2009 categories: Communities, Market Update, Tips For Buyers
The following stats are based on information gathered from the Multiple Listing Service (MLS)
for Single Family Homes.
Weston,Fl Sales
The high number of Pending Short Sales might be due to the fact that they take longer than regular sales. It’s interesting to note that even thou 38% of the inventory in Weston are Short Sale Listings they represent only 15% of the closed units. Lenders are being more cooperative in the Short Sale process.
I thought it could be interesting to look at the closed sales by neighborhood and calculate what percentage of sales were short sales listings. Please note that the communities with no Short Sales are also communities with little activity.
