The quarter in review
Manatee County single-family homes closed the quarter with 2,376 sales, up 9.8% year-over-year, and a median price of $479,495, up 4.2%. Total dollar volume climbed 23.0% to $1.6 billion. Sellers captured 95.3% of their original list price, the strongest ratio of any segment in the region this quarter, up from 94.4% a year ago.
Growth reached well beyond the entry-level market. Sales between $2 million and $2.99 million rose 86.7% year-over-year, sales between $3 million and $4.99 million rose 107.1%, and sales between $5 million and $9.99 million rose 60.0%. Active inventory fell 15.3% to 2,706 homes, pushing months of supply down to 4.1 from 5.2, firmly seller-favorable, while homes went under contract in a median of 46 days, down 16.4% from a year ago.
If you’re buying
Manatee single-family demand is broad-based this quarter, not just at the entry level, several luxury price bands more than doubled in transaction count. Months of supply at 4.1 means less room to negotiate than a year ago across the board. Come prepared with financing in order, especially above $800K.
If you’re selling
This is the strongest quarter Manatee single-family sellers have had in the current cycle. List price received at 95.3% leads the region, and if your home sits above $2 million, luxury demand is running especially hot this quarter. Price at market and expect a fast, competitive process.
