The following are the market sales statistics for Apopka, Seminole and Orange Counties, Florida for October 2009. Apopka is made up of the zip codes of 32703 & 32712. For purposes of this analysis we are only splitting the data according to single-family homes vs, condominiums, townhomes and villas.
A couple of definitions are in order. The median sales price means that 50% of the homes sold for more and 50% of the homes sold for less during a certain period of time - in other words, it's the midpoint of sale prices. So basically what this means, is that the median sales price is showing market activity in that it's specifically indicating which price range is more active.
The average sales price, as opposed to the median sales price, is the total volume of sold properties divided by the number of properties sold.
The sales to list price ratio is just that, you're dividing the average sales price by the average list price and coming up with a percentage that tells you how much of the list price the average homes sold for.
There needs to be a disclaimer here. These stats are only as good as telling us what it being purchased and happening at a certain period in time. Also, it needs to be fully understood that not only is real estate local, but it is hyper-local. What this means is that the trends that we hear about are overall. Let's put it this way, what's happening in one neighborhood may not be realized in the neighborhood next door.
Additionally, these are only monthly statistics and to get a better scope of what is happening, you need to look at a longer period of time. More high-end homes might be sold in one month as opposed to another. By looking at a longer period, you will get a better overall picture. It is all relative and this has to be understood when utilizing these stats.

Today the Senate & House of Representatives extended the Homebuyer Tax Credit that was to expire on Nov. 30th. The new and expanded bill will take effect when President Obama signs it into legislation.
The new bill extends the deadline until April 30, 2010 where the homebuyer will have to have a written and binding contract to close no later than July 1, 2010.
The First-time Buyer Credit stays the same in that the buyer may not have had an interest in a principal residence for 3 years prior to the purchase. The amount will also remain at $8000.
The new bill is expanded to also cover Existing Homeowners, who must have used the home sold as a principal residence for 5 consecutive years out of the previous 8 years. The amount that they would receive will be only $6500, yet this is $6500 more than has been the case.
The income limits have risen to $125K for a single person & $225K for a married couple. These are up from $75K and $150K, respectively.
There previous was no cost limit for the purchase price of the home, but this will now be limited to a $800K home.
There is also an Anti-fraud Rule that was attached to the bill and rightly so. Now the purchaser will have to attach documentation to their tax return.
This is very good news & well needed for the real estate recovery as well as that of the economy.
Till next time...Marc It Sold!
