Saltwater Canal Homes - Palm Coast, FL - Market Statistics Update - June 2009

Phew...Good news for June Saltwater Canal Homes Sales.....but is it temporary?

We have seen the traditional seasonal increase in sales volume for the month of June on the Saltwater Canals in Palm Coast, FL. Boating season is here and during this time of the year, we always see an increase in the sale of these types of homes....but oddly.... the inventory of available SWC homes is once again increasing.

Both listing and sold prices ticked up significantly for the month of June. This may be due to less "Short Sale" homes coming on the market.

Area Information about the Saltwater Canals

When designing Palm Coast in 1969, ITT development group put in a unique 23 mile navigable Saltwater Canal system with access to the Intracoastal Waterway. The saltwater canal neighborhoods are divided up into sections and most of the street names begin with the letter "C". Most of the saltwater canals are 80' wide and can accommodate large boats. The Saltwater Canals are all within the City limits of Palm Coast and do not have HOA fees or boat dock fees.

You can just pull your boat up behind your home at your own private dock.

Because of the real estate downturn of home and vacant land prices in Northern Florida...you can now find affordable saltwater canal that sold for hundreds of thousands more just a few short years ago.

A significant decrease is prices has again occurred just within the last 6 months...making the prices of saltwater canal homes very attractive

Sale Price/List Price Ratio: 83.6%

Sale Price/Original List Price: 69.44%

The most surprising # exposed in the above data for the month of April was the huge discrepancy between the Sale Price of the homes in Grand Haven and the Original List Price.

Based upon this data...houses in Grand Haven sold for almost 41% of what they were originally listed for. What does this tell us....that many sellers are finally getting informed of what the true value of their homes are and are price reducing their homes in order to get them sold and be inline with buyer's expectations of value.

It is also very telling that even after the price reductions, the home are selling for an average of about 27% below the final asking price....WOW!!! This shows that although maybe sellers are finally starting to understand that prices are still falling, they are still not as realistic as they should be.
