Greetings, Neighbors!
 
Our warm summer temperatures and humidity have officially arrived! While the weather may be a bit uncomfortable due to hot temperatures, it certainly has not deterred buyer interest in the market!  Buyers are continuing to attend open houses and viewing listings in the Southwest Florida market. 

 
Sellers are starting to understand two very important factors. One – this is no longer a seasonal market. Buyers are spending a lot of time watching the market from wherever they are and will come back to the area if they see something of interest.   And two - accurate pricing will draw interest, while overpricing will not no matter what time of year it is.  Sellers are also facing competition from new construction communities. This competition will be even more challenging for those homeowners whose homes have not been updated inside or outside in the last three years.  There are some communities whose homes inside and out still resemble that “Tuscan” style that was very popular some years ago. However, buyers now are looking for properties that resemble a more updated style such as coastal contemporary or modern colors and finishes.  If your home has not been updated, but you want to list, you may need to accommodate for that non-updated look through pricing.  If you’re unsure where your property stands in regards to updating, our team can guide you through making that assessment.
 

New construction also represents some of the many options available in the market for buyers.  Most importantly, buyers should also remember that builder’s sales staff represents the builder and not the buyer. Working with a REALTOR^® for new construction ensures you’ll take advantage of the numerous incentives available in a new build transaction, while protecting your interests.  

 
If you’re interested in new construction, a re-sale purchase or if you want to sell your property, let Team Michael Burke help you assess your pricing and develop a winning strategy, ensuring the best possible outcome.  Here is a handy list of unique sales tools we provide our buying and selling clients. Whether buying or selling, our tools are PROVEN to help you get the most from your transaction!
