There were 36 total single family sales for the month of April, 2011 ranging in price from $189,999 to $900,000. Last month, there were 30 total single family home sales. There was 6 more  Parkland single family homes sold in the month of May, 2011 than in April, 2011. Among the May sales, 18 were distressed sales (bank foreclosures, short sales, or corporate owned properties). 50% of all sales were distresses one, which is approximately 1/4 of an increase from last month’s sales.   Banks and lending institutions are starting to get with the program in regards to negotiating short sales, which is a very good thing for the overall stability of the Parkland real estate market.  11 of the 18 distressed sales were short sales and were mostly in the price ranges of $200,000’s to $400,000’s.

Also, we have definitely seen an increase in buyer activity in Parkland’s Heron Bay community, where 12 of the 30 sales took place for the month of May, 2011. These buyers gobbled up great properties at fantastic price points.  Summer is just about here!  It’s time to get off the real estate fence and come see why Parkland Florida is such a popular place in South Florida to raise a family and live the Parkland Lifestyle.

Among the 29 sales for the month of September, approximately half (14) of the sold homes were located in Heron Bay & Parkland Golf & Country Club.  Like, the previous months, many of the short sales and foreclosures are located in both of these communities.  With all the buzz surrounding the great sales success for the new pre-construction homes at Parkland Reserve, many buyers are looking to purchase in West Parkland.  As a result, more and more Parkland home inventory is selling, which again helps the overall Parkland real estate market, which is still absorbing the short sales and foreclosures.

The distressed sales (short sales or bank foreclosures) in Parkland have been moving at a faster pace than in previous months.  13 of the 29 total home single family home sales were distressed. Hopefully, as this inventory is sold to end users, the overall Parkland real estate market will continue to improve.

There were 19 total sales for the month of February, 2010 ranging in price from $216,000 to $1,650,000.  Of the total sales in the month of February, 11 were regular sales, 5 were short sales, and 3 were bank foreclosure sales.

Good news is that Parkland had 9 more total single family home sales in February than in January of this year. We have increased our sales momentum, which is good for our overall market.

Unfortunately, of the total 19 sales, 8 of them were distressed sales which proves that short sales and bank foreclosures will continue to have a negative impact on the real estate market.

On a brighter note, we expect to see more sales in the next three months as sales momentum from buyers should increase due to low interest rates, the $8,000 first time home buyer tax credit, and knowing that FHA mortgage guidelines will tighten in the Spring and Summer months making now the best time to get off the fence and buy a Parkland home.

We are also proud to announce the closing of our Pine Tree Estates listing located at: 6920 NW 66TH AV, Parkland, FL 33067 in the month of February.
