Comments:
The 500K-$999K segment continues to dominate. It exhibited the highest percentage increase in both home sales and total sales value. This affects the median selling price, keeping it steady even as overall values decline.
The top two price tiers represent only 24.1% of home sales, but 44.6% of total sales value. This matters because these sectors have a higher percentage of cash sales, making them less sensitive to prevailing mortgage interest rates.
Impact fees for new homes in Palm Coast rose by about $12,000 last fall. Impact fees affect not only the price of new homes but also that of existing homes, given the natural price difference between them.
Home sales and total sales value increase while prices languish. Price reductions and seller concessions mask underlying market weakness. Selling price per square foot better indicates changes in true value. This metric remains stubbornly unmoved at all price levels.
The demand for housing is here, but affordability, mortgage rates, and uncertainty are holding back both buyers and sellers.
