When you can't find what you are looking for our team does the extra work necessary to find you the perfect fit!

A repeat client of The KeysListings Group came to us with some specific criteria. When nothing was available on the market we went to work and found him his perfect off market townhome in Mariner's Club. With inventory continuing to decrease it is often necessary to go on the hunt to find our buyers off market properties. With a team of 3 full time agents we dive in as a team and search until we find that perfect property.

Are there still homes available on the water under $1M in Key Largo?

The market has continued to see an increase in price point and most homes on canals and open water have been north of $1M. Often we are asked if properties ever come on the market below the $1M mark, on the water. They are becoming fewer and further between but they do sometimes show up. Click here for waterfront homes in Key Largo under $1M.

We do recommend if this is what you are looking for that you be prepared to act fast when one of these properties comes on the market. Remember, if you are looking for that type of property there are several other people looking for the same thing. It's really important to have all your ducks in a row, so if you do need to make an offer quick you are ready to pull the trigger. 

Other options for waterfront that can often be more affordable than a single family home are some of the condos and townhomes. There are several communities that include lots of amenities such as a pool, tennis courts, dockage and more. So going that route sometimes might give you more bang for your buck. Click here for Key Largo Condos.

There is also a third option, a dry lot in a community with a homeowners park. These homeowner parks often include a boat ramp, and usually come at a low annual cost. Click here for properties in Key Largo under $600k

February 2022 Townhouse and Condo inventory remains at historic lows.

We continue to see a lack of inventory in the Florida Keys across the board. The Townhouse and Condo market has seen an even bigger deficit in inventory, compared to single family homes. The days of having your choice of multiple units to pick from in a community seem to be a thing of the past. We are seeing Townhouses & Condos come on the market and going under contract in the same day. In February there were only 88 units available county wide, which was a decrease of over 60% from the same time last year. Click here for a pdf copy of the Monroe County Condo & Townhouse report.

When will the market change?

The short answer is we don't know, but people are wondering how long can this lack of inventory last. So far 2022 has continued to see a dramatic decrease in inventory over last year. This is the time of year we usually anticipate a "flood" of houses coming on to the market for sale. We did not see that increase in inventory this time last year and this year continues to be down over 30%. This also means sales are down, lack of inventory means lack of sales. 

So what does all of this mean? If you are considering selling your Florida Keys home, it has never been a better time. The average sales price is up over 30% from last year, which had already seen a sizeable increase over 2020. Days on market have also continued to decrease, less than two years ago the average days on market was about 3-4 months.  2022 is seeing and average of 2 months or less on market. 

With this much faster pace and lack of inventory buyers need to be prepared to act fast. While you are thinking about a property, several other people are usually writing offers. Part of writing an offer in this market also requires a proof of funds letter or pre-approval letter to be included with the offer. You will want to have those in place prior to viewing homes as some sellers will also require that documentation to view their homes as well. 

It is more important than ever to work with a professional, to guide you through this challenging market. We would love to be the professionals that help you buy or sell in the Florida Keys. Call us today (305) 451-2111 or message us.
