Why Isn't Your Emerald Coast Property Selling?

Do you have a home that's in good condition and is also priced correctly, but just not selling? I've seen lots of good homes sit on the market, and I think I know why.

The problem here is that not enough demand was created for these homes, and this is because a solid marketing plan was not employed. The real estate agent's objective should be to create a lot of demand for the property in order to bring a high sale price. 


To create demand, you need a specific, written marketing plan for your property. The one-size fits all approach just doesn't do the trick, you need a custom marketing plan. Each property has a different type of buyer, and you need to attract them to your specific property.

When you simply lower the asking price in order to generate interest, the only person that wins is the agent. Instead of doing this, I employ a tailored marketing plan in order to sell your home for top dollar. 

If you need help selling your home in the Emerald Coast, please don't hesitate to contact me!

Hello, and welcome to the At the Beach Team's video blog! We service all of the Emerald Coast, from Panama City all the way to Pensacola Beach. Today, we want to give you a market update for the area for June! 

Summer is here, and this means three things: crowds at the beach, an active real estate market, and unpredictable weather. We've been very fortunate here at the beach for quite a while. The last storm to hit us was tropical storm Claudette, which hit us in 2009; the last hurricane to hit us was Dennis in 2005. So we've been very lucky. However, because it's been so long, we are statistically two years overdue for a storm to actually hit our area. We have to be ready for that! 


There are a couple of things you need to do to prepare for a storm. First, you need to contact your HOA and get on the same page with storm protocol. Next, contact your insurance provider to ensure that you know exactly what will be covered in the event of a storm. If you're waiting until the fall to sell your home, you may need to reconsider. Statistically speaking, September is the time of year the most hurricanes hit our area. To avoid a potentially complicated home sale, listing your home now might be the wise thing to do. 

Now, back to market conditions. The real estate market on the Emerald Coast is still very active. We've had strong sales for condos, houses, and land! New home sales are perhaps the most active, as builders have lowered prices and added a lot of incentives for purchasing new construction. Existing home sales are also very strong. We're getting a lot of showing activity on our existing homes, and in some cases, we're seeing multiple offers and homes selling for above asking price. 

There are a couple new condo developments happening in Panama City and Destin, so if you're interested in these pre-construction sales, just let us know. Currently, there are about 1,400 condos for sale. Each week, about 50 condos come on the market and about 50 sell, so it's a flat market right now for condo sales. This means it's hard to get your condo to appreciate in price, despite the fact that condos are still selling.

Land sales are pretty strong right now. We're still seeing a lot of sales, but the frenzy we saw last year has cooled off a bit. If you're looking to buy or sell land, the market is still active and healthy, so it's not a bad time.

Like the weather, it's hard to predict what market conditions will be like later this year. If you want to stay in touch with current market trends, or if you need real estate assistance of any kind, give us a call or shoot us a quick email. We would love to hear from you!

How we helped Julie sell her house by accommodating her schedule

 
"I had great results. Our house sold in under 30 days! We don’t live in Florida, so he met us at our place when we were there for Christmas break. I thought that was nice because he didn’t really have to do that!"

How we helped Joe sell his condo using our great communication skills

 
"My condo sold within three and a half months. His agency had certain clients that he directed towards my condominium, and he worked well with the agency that manages the condo. He kept good communication with them so that the guests weren’t inconvenienced."
