About Holiday's Aloha Gardens

A client/friend of mine just asked this today, with impeccable timing, since I just finished compiling foreclosure statistics for Pasco County, Florida, where she lives.

So let's take a look at Aloha Gardens--a lovely, waterfront community of moderately priced homes in Holiday, Florida. I know the area well, since my own most recent investment property is in the same subdivision.

Here are some stats:

• Holiday, Florida has 69 bank-owned properties currently, which is 12% of the bank-owned properties in Pasco County. (See Florida-FORECLOSURE-FORUM-Whats-Happening-in-Your-County). 16 of these foreclosures are in Aloha Gardens or Tahitian Homes.
• Holiday has also had 59 homes on the auction block, 8 of which were in Aloha Gardens, another 4 from neighboring Tahitian Homes.
• Of the 3,194 pre-foreclosures currently registered in Pasco County, 57 are located in Aloha Gardens, and another 32 are in Tahitian Homes--combined they make 3% of the total of Lis Pendens in Pasco.

So, what other driving forces are affecting the market in Holiday and these neighborhoods in particular?

• There are 540 homes currently for sale in Holiday, 80 of which are either in Aloha Gardens or Tahitian Homes. The average list price in these areas is currently $101,011.
• 52 homes have sold in the past 6 months in Aloha and Tahitian, representing 23% of the total sales in Holiday. The average sales price has been $72,940, which is 93% of the list price at the time of offer.
• The 12 homes currently under contract for sale are priced between $34,900 and $92,000 - quite a range of prices, due to the heavy foreclosures in addition to the proximity of some areas to sinkhole claimed property.
• A seller in these neighborhoods at this time with an above-average condition home of at least 1200 square feet (no pool) can expect between 60-120 days on market and a sales price between $79,500 and $89,000.
