May Real Estate Data

The Pinellas Realtor Organization has released the May Real Estate statistics. The highlights include:

  • The number of single family homes put on the market in May 2013 is the highest since April of 2011.
  • Single Family homeowners are slowly gaining confidence and some may be finding that their homes are now "above water" in terms of what they owe on their mortgage.
  • With such low inventory levels and the number of buyers looking to purchase, prices are being driven up. The median sales price for a single family home is the highest its been since September 2008.
Within our own zip code (33707) there were 71 closed sales with 35 of them being single family homes and 36 townhouse/condos. The average selling price for the single family homes were $152,500 and for condos, $124,0000.
