Many Locations Show Marked Growth as Competition Drives Sales
Inlet Beach was among the most successful communities in terms of detached single-family homes. The gorgeous beaches make this among the most popular luxury home sites in Florida, and Q3 2021 sales figures correspond to that popularity.
The total number of sales is up 12% compared to Q3 2020. While the average price per square foot and average sales price are slightly down, the list price to sales price ratio has increased by 4%.
The most amazing revelation for Inlet Beach in Q3 2021 is the average days on market. It plummeted from 225 in Q3 2020 to just 31 days on market for Q3 2021. That’s a reduction of 86%.
Detached Single Family Home Sales Value Increases Across the Board
Q3 2021 has been fantastic for detached single-family homes in all communities. Overall, the average price per square foot is up 25% compared to the same time last year. There’s also been a 37% average sales price increase, which was $2,315,636 for Q3 2021.
The biggest market trend has been the reduction in average days on market. Overall, it’s down 73% from 130 to 36. That’s just the average, though, with many communities showing even greater improvements. Alys Beach is down 88% to just seven days on market. Watersound Beach is down a staggering 97% to just five days on market average.
Condominium Sale Prices Sky High Compared to Last Year
Condominiums have shown a drastic increase in value for Q3 2021. The average price per square foot is up 40% compared with Q3 2020, with average sales price going up 32%. While not as pronounced as in detached single family homes, the average days on market for condominiums is down 30%.
Panama City Beach played a considerable role in establishing these impressive numbers. In this area, prices per square foot were up 48%, with average sales price climbing 43%. Not only are prices that much higher, but the number of sales has increased 34%.
