There were 38 total single family sales for the month of February 2012 ranging in price from $225,000 to $1,400,000. In April, 2012, there were a total 19 Parkland Single Family Homes.  There were 19 more Parkland single family homes sold in the month of March, 2012 than in February, 2012. Among the February sales, 9 were distressed sales (bank foreclosures or short sales). 24% of all sales were distresses ones.

Sales in Parkland have significantly picked up in March, 2012 and look to increase as we are in full swing of the Spring and upcoming Summer real estate selling season.  We saw a lot of luxury homes selling in March including many in Cypress Head and Parkland Golf & Country Club.  It is also great to see how buyers are purchasing in newer communities as well as older ones.  As a result, buyers see the value in living in different neighborhoods in the city.

Distressed sales have decreased in the City of Parkland, Florida.  But, some experts believe that the banks and lending institutions are just holding back their bank foreclosure inventory until the Summer and towards the end of the year.  Also, inventory has been at record lows.  Currently, there are 180 total single family homes for sale in Parkland.  This is a significant drop in the past 6-12 months.  As we know, when supply falls, demand increases.  I am telling our clients that this Spring and Summer will be the busiest time for real estate buyer activity than we have seen since the boom.  If you are thinking about selling your home, now truly is the perfect time, as you will sell for top market dollar or more, and then be able to take advantage of very low interest rates on your future purchase.  If you would like to know what your home is worth and what you can afford when purchasing a new home, please give me a call directly at: 954-609-0591.

Parkland is one of the most desirable areas in all of South Florida. It is more stable than neighboring areas such as Coral Springs or Coconut Creek. More and more people are looking to call Parkland home and live the Parkland Lifestyle. With excellent schools, many parks, and a plethora of other activities for the entire family to enjoy, Parkland will continue to grow and become one of the most sought-after communities in South Florida.

There were 19 total single family sales for the month of February 2012 ranging in price from $230,000 to $758,000.  In January, 2012, there were 17 total single family home sales. There were 2 more Parkland single family homes sold in the month of February, 2012 than in January, 2012.  Among the February sales, 7 were distressed sales (bank foreclosures or short sales). 37% of all sales were distresses ones.

We are seeing a decrease in the amount of distressed sales in Parkland, Florida.  As more and more distressed sales are sold, the overall Parkland real estate market will settle in the coming months.  Inventory is a record low levels in Parkland.  Buyers are also purchasing pre-construction homes in Heron Bay, Parkland Golf & Country Club, and Parkland Reserve. Currently there are 194 total single family homes for sale in all of Parkland.  As a result, buyers do not have a plethora of available homes to choose from.

Parkland home listings that are priced and presented well sell in days, not months.  If you are currently thinking about selling your Parkland or South Florida home, now is the time.  Buyers are willing to pay at least market to above market value for homes in the city.  If you are an empty nester or need a larger home for your growing family, now is the ideal time to make the move.  Interest rates are at record low levels.  You will be able to sell your home for top market dollar, and then be able to take advantage of low interest rates when purchasing your next home.  It is a win win situation for all Parkland homeowners.

The Parkland and South Florida real estate market will pick up even more as Spring is here.  More buyers will be entering the market in the coming weeks and months.  Inventory will increase, but I do not believe it will increase enough to meet the large demand of buyers looking to call Parkland their home!

As I have stated in past market update blog posts, I certainly see the overall Parkland real estate market stabilizing this year.  In many Parkland communities, we are already seeing this settlement along with some price increases.  Parkland is one of the most desirable areas in all of South Florida.  It is more stable than neighboring areas such as Coral Springs or Coconut Creek. More and more people are looking to call Parkland home and live the Parkland Lifestyle. With excellent schools, many parks, and a plethora of other activities for the entire family to enjoy, Parkland will continue to grow and become one of the most sought-after communities in South Florida.

There were 17 total single family sales for the month of January 2012 ranging in price from $269,000 to $650,000 In December, 2011, there were 31 total single family home sales. There were 14 less Parkland single family homes sold in the month of January, 2011 than in December, 2011. Among the January sales, 7 were distressed sales (bank foreclosures or short sales). 41% of all sales were distresses ones.

There was a large increase in distressed sales from last month in the City of Parkland.  I believe that this is a good thing for the overall real estate market, as more and more properties that were not being well-kept, and even vacant, are now owned by homeowners that will take much better care of the properties.  The real estate market does not start picking up until the end of Fall and into the Spring months.  As a result, there were only 17 total single family sales in Parkland, Florida for January, 2012.

Inventory is very low right now.  I am telling many sellers that are thinking about putting their homes on the market to do so now as opposed to later this year, as there will be a larger inventory of homes for sale, especially bank foreclosure listings.  Motivated buyers have less and less inventory to choose from.  Banks are set to release more of their bank-owned inventory in the coming months.  If you are in the market for home, now is also a great time to start looking as interest rates are still under 4%.  I am also telling clients that are currently renting to speak with a mortgage lender, as you may be able to spend less money per month and be able to be a homeowner.  Now is the time to get educated and speak with both a mortgage and real estate professional.

As more and more distressed Parkland real estate inventory is selling and coming off the market, I foresee the overall Parkland and South Florida single family home market stabilizing by the end of 2012.  In some areas of Parkland, it is already happening!  Parkland is also a very desirable area to call home as the city is more stable than neighboring areas such as Coral Springs or Coconut Creek. More and more people are looking to call Parkland home and live the Parkland Lifestyle. With excellent schools, many parks, and a plethora of other activities for the entire family to enjoy, Parkland will continue to grow and become one of the most sought-after communities in South Florida.

There were 31 total single family sales for the month of December 2011 ranging in price from $179,000 to $2,400,000 Last month, there were 21 total single family home sales. There were 10 more Parkland single family homes sold in the month of December, 2011 than in November, 2011. Among the December sales, 8 were distressed sales (bank foreclosures, short sales, or corporate owned properties). 25% of all sales were distresses ones.

There was a 61% increase in sales from last month.  Many buyers wish to close on their new homes before the end of the year for tax purchases and homestead exemptions.  I believe that there will continue to be more sales in early 2012 due to the increase in buyer activity in the City of Parkland, Florida. But, inventory is still very low in the city.  As a result, potential buyers have less and less homes to choose from.

Also, distressed sales are steadily declining in Parkland.  In December 2011, there were only 8 total distressed sales (bank foreclosures and/or short sales).  Hopefully, as this pattern continues, the overall real estate market in Parkland will stabilize.

Parkland is also a very desirable area to call home as the city is more stable than neighboring areas such as Coral Springs or Coconut Creek. More and more people are looking to call Parkland home and live the Parkland Lifestyle. With excellent schools, many parks, and a plethora of other activities for the entire family to enjoy, Parkland will continue to grow and become one of the most sought-after communities in South Florida.

Every month, I make sure to post each and every single family home sale that takes place in the City of Parkland, Florida. Being a Parkland resident, I know how important is to keep abreast of the monthly real estate sales and market activity. If you would like to see home sales in the past months, please click here.
