Premier Auction - March 10, 2007
- Thread starter P.A.G.
- Start date
A house on Red Cedar sold recently for just over $430 per sq foot, one is pending on Royal Fern with a LIST price of $439, a big home in Cerulean Landing recently closed for around $450, a tennis district house is pending with a LIST price of $477, the auction house in cypress cove sold for about $410, and a home south of 30A in Rosemary sold for about $550.
Close in Phase I houses in Watercolor seem to be selling in the range of $600-700 per square foot. Outside of that area, sellers will be very, very lucky to get over $500.
"Outside of that area, sellers will be very, very lucky to get over $500."
I asked a realtor today if what you were saying was correct. She pulled the results from last year which showed in Phase II and III of Watercolor, 15 sales that exceed $500 per square foot - 8 were $500+, 4 were $600+ and 3 were $700+. These were the result from a total of 34 sales last year. I thought you knew what you were talking about - but apparently not. By the way, she told me three more houses in Watercolor went under contract today. Sounds pretty encouraging

If your realtor pulled a total of 34 sales and only 15 were for over $500, weren't the rest under $500??? Joe's note indicates that my numbers were pretty accurate--there were even a couple of sale for under $400 per square foot, but those may have been in Phase IV but I'm not sure.
I did not go back to the beginning of 2006 in order to assess current trends in prices. I looked at the most recent sales, many of which have been in the $400 to $450 range. I also stated that prices up close in Phase I seem to be running in the $600 to $700 range these days. Regardless, recent sales indicate that prices are still falling. However, maybe the three houses that went under contract today will buck the trend. We'll see the data once they close.
And, yes, activity is picking up in Watercolor which is a good sign. We'll see if prices follow suit. However, the inventory still needs to come down dramatically before I believe that will happen. There are still 130 houses on the market in WC and more coming on line every week as homes under construction hit the market. Also, spring is coming and lots of people put their property ont he market in the spring. March-July will be a good indicator of where the market is headed next.
"If your realtor pulled a total of 34 sales and only 15 were for over $500, weren't the rest under $500??? "
No, because I didn't post the figures from Phase I. 25% of the houses sold last year in Watercolor were for less than $500 per foot. The remaining 75% sold for between $500 to $800+ per foot.
"Joe's note indicates that my numbers were pretty accurate--"
No, you were not even close. You said sellers not in Phase I would be "very, very lucky" to get over $500 per foot. That's clearly erroneous.

I can CONFIRM that there has been SOLID activity in WaterColor. 3 different homes went "contingent" from the same BUYER! Just under $6M in real estate! Who said there was "no market?" I BEG TO DIFFER!!!!!

Chill out, baby. Fisher never mentioned average price per sf. Please go back and read his post. My data shows you that 6 out of the 19 home sales in the last six months sold in the $400's per sf or less. There were some sales on the high end too. No need to get all huffy, and try to discredit my comment about fisher not being "totally off base." If you go back and read his comment, I think you will see that he wasn't totally off base, as he never mentioned avg sales price. ;-)

No problem dude. Fisher said that you would be lucky to sell a house in Watercolor (not in Phase I) for over $500 per foot. Knowing now that 15 houses in Phase II and III sold for in excess of $500 per foot (9 for over $600 per foot), do you agree with Fisher? If so, you and Fisher should limit yourselves to the entertainment and restaurant boards where subjective opinions are the norm.
