 The program utilizing the Government's $8K tax credit as a downpayment became effective July 1. Unfortunately, there is no money as they are relying on current home sales' Doc Stamp taxes to fund the necessary reserves. The Florida Homebuyer Opportunity Program’s (FLHOP) $8,000 tax credit is a bridge loan (short-term loan) administered by the state's local State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) program. Florida's lawmakers are offering this loan to first-time homebuyers eligible for the federal government’s $8,000 tax credit utilizing current programs. But unfortunately, the rules for the SHIP and FLHOP programs differ and this is making for some issues. Because of such, some of the state's local SHIP offices may not be ready come the first week of Aug., the likely kick off date due to collections. The legislation does not stipulate an education requirement as there are currently with other SHIP programs, but the primary lender may require such. In some instances these monies can be used as part of the required downpayment, but "those who access through any other FHA-approved lender must (as with any standard FHA loan), provide the 3.5% themselves." At this point, the best thing for you to do is to contact your local SHIP office. Till next time....Marc It Sold!

 The following are the market sales statistics for Winter Springs, Seminole County, Florida for May 2009. Winter Springs is made up of the zip code 32708. 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. Single-Family Homes 21 homes sold during the month of May. The average sales price is $231,919 with 136 days on the market. The median sales price is $232,500. The sales to list price ratio is 96%. The most expensive home sold for $535,000 and was on the market 188 days The least expensive home sold for $22,000 in Williamson Heights after 98 days on the market. The average sales price for the same period a year earlier was $322,606 with 167 days on the market on 25 sales, a decrease of 8%. The month to month changes show a decrease in the average sales price of 13% and a decrease in the median sales price of 37%. Yet, there was an increase in sales volume of 10% with a 2% decrease in the sales to list price ratio.   Condos, Townhomes & Villas 1 home sold with a sales price $152,000 in the Landings at Parkstone after 84 days on the market with a sales to list price ratio is 98%. The average sales price a year earlier was $123,500 with 281 days on the market on 3 sales, a 67% decrease. The month to month changes show an increase in the average sales price of 34% and an increase in the median sales price of 43%. There was a decrease in sales volume of 86% with a 9% increase in the sales to list price ratio.

 The following are the market sales statistics for Windermere, Orange County, Florida for May 2009. Windermere is made up of the zip code 34786. 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. Single-Family Homes 35 homes sold during the month of May. The average sales price is $376,121 with 107 days on the market. The median sales price is $285,000. The sales to list price ratio is 95%. The most expensive home sold for $909K in Estates of Lake Clarice and was on the market 516 days. The least expensive home sold for $173,250 in Lakes of Windermere Peachtree after 178 days on the market. The average sales price for the same period a year earlier was $916,394 with 179 days on the market on 38 sales, a decrease of 8%. The month to month changes show a decrease in the average sales price of 15% and an increase in the median sales price of 2%. Yet, there was a decrease in sales volume of 20% with no change in the sales to list price ratio.   Condos, Townhomes & Villas 9 homes sold. The average sales price is $376,374 with 170 days on the market. The median sales price is $120,000. The sales to list price ratio is 89%. The more expensive villa sold for $2.4M in Isleworth and was on the market 249 days. The less expensive sold for $104,000 in Lakes of Windermere Lake Reams Townhomes after 59 days on the market. The average sales price for the same period a year earlier was $187,050 with 179 days on the market on 8 sales, an increase of 13%. The month to month changes show an increase in the average sales price of 171% and a decrease in the median sales price of 14%. The increases are due to the fact that a villa sold for over $2M this month. Yet, there was also an increase in sales volume of 50% with a 25% decrease in the sales to list price ratio.
