Florida Housing Market returns to High Buyer Competition
Monday, 20 July 2009 09:17 |
Florida home bidding wars are returning to the areas housing market, as investors and first-time buyers compete for homes and condominiums listed under $200,000. The race for properties is reminiscent of the boom years from 2000 to 2005, when multiple offers on all types of dwellings helped push prices to record highs. Back then, a dearth of properties for sale had buyers rushing to scoop up anything they could find, for fear that prices would keep rising. Now, frustrated with a bloated inventory of foreclosed homes in disrepair, buyers go to great lengths when they spot a house or condo in pristine condition.
Agents say the heated competition has been building in recent months, a result of low mortgage rates and the $8,000 tax credit for first-time buyers that expires Nov. 30. Steady sales increases during the past year gradually have worked off the inventory of available homes. Real estate agents are convinced that the overall market has hit bottom or is close to one.
Housing market researchers have a different take. Rising unemployment is sure to lead to more foreclosures and property sales later this year, which almost certainly will lower prices, Hunter and other analysts say. Some observers suspect that lenders are holding back the supply of foreclosed homes, promoting bidding wars to increase prices now before the flood of new listings further depresses prices. Banks dispute that notion by saying they're overwhelmed with foreclosures and try to market them for sale as quickly as possible. "The longer we hold them, the more money it costs us," said Nancy Norris, a spokeswoman for banking giant Chase. The bidding wars in South Florida are giving sellers more leverage after three years of buyers calling the shots.

The 30-year fixed mortgages average rate was 5.14 percent this week, down from 5.2 percent last week. The rate for a 30-year mortgage averaged 6.26 percent one year ago at this time.

This week, the average rate on a 15-year fixed-rate mortgage in Florida fell to 4.63 percent, down from 4.69 percent last week.

The fee for one-year adjustable rate mortgages was 0.5 point. This amount translates to $5 isfees for every $1000 of loan taken out.

Foreclosures soared by nearly 15 percent in the first half of the year as more people lost their jobs and were unable to pay their monthly mortgage bills.

The sites are downtown St. Petersburg and Carillon in Pinellas and downtown Tampa, the Westshore area and the fairgrounds in Hillsborough County. An analysis of each site would consider income levels in surrounding neighborhoods, population within a 30- to 45-minute drive and availability of land. They are also looking at the economic impact of the team on the Bay area and trends in stadium design. Officials stress that the meetings are only preliminary and that the Rays' lease with St. Petersburg lasts until 2027. Rays spokesman Michael Kalt said: "This has evolved into a community discussion about where, what is the future of major league baseball (in the Bay area) and where it is best positioned here,' Kalt said. "And there is a lease between the city and the Rays and ultimately the city is going to have to be a part of the discussion as are we, as is the whole community.'
