Orlando FL Area – Bank Owned Condo Prices Increasing

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009
There has been a lot of activity in the condo market in the Orlando FL area this year.  A large inventory coupled with low prices has fueled a strong market.  Investors are being attracted by the low prices and individuals are buying condos as rental properties with the expectation that they will profit when the market recovers.
The ratio of selling price to list price is an indicator of the firmness of the condo market and could also give a hint about the overall market  Obviously the selling price is a market value and the listing price is a “marketing” value.  However, when there are hundreds of sales per month one could argue that the marketing bias in setting list prices has been compensated. 

 

Under the suppositions and limitations of the foregoing we can look at the Orlando FL Condo data for this year to date.

Selling Price as percent of List Price

Month          Average          Median

Jan.                   94                      95

Feb.                   94                      95

Mar.                  94                       95

Apr.                   96                       97

May                   96                      97

Jun.                    97                      98

Jul. to date    100                     100

Perhaps the increase in the median value, for example, looks small at this point but a trend does seem to be starting.  Most trends are easy to identify when they are full blown and obvious but hard to recognize in the very early stages.

In the above data we may be seeing the very early stage of a recovery trend.  Many bank owned properties are getting multiple offers in the current market and prices are being bid up just by the number of interested buyers.  We’ll have to keep our eyes on the Orlando FL Condo data for August to see whether we are seeing a trend or a mirage.
