Vero Beach Mid-Year Comparison 2017 to 2016 Vero Beach Mainland Housing Market Shows Robust Pace with No Slow Down in Sight With double digit increases in both sales and inventory, the Vero Beach mainland housing market is likely to continue its healthy pace throughout 2017, reports Coldwell Banker Paradise in their recently released Mid-Year Housing Report.

This year, as many homeowners have found their equity levels rising, more and more Vero Beach residents are looking to finally make their move. With prices rising, the $250,000 to $500,000 price range is now seeing increased activity. Inventory rates remain stable with a slight increase in the number of units on the market and in months supply of inventory.

Buyers looking to relocate to Vero Beach Mainland will find both an increase and a variety in new listings.

Working with an experienced agent is the only way for buyers to stay ahead of rapidly changing inventory.

Vero Beach Mainland Condominiums sales are selling quickly with an average 2.7 months supply on the market. Affordable units in the $250-500K range are selling quickly with an increase of 200% in year over year sales. Inventory rates remain somewhat stable at a 14% increase.

“Its a great time to sell with real movement in the market, and if you are in the market to buy, now is a better time than ever,” stated Coldwell Banker Paradise Co-Owner and Broker Linda Schlitt Gonzalez.

“As interest rate increases raise loan payments, and inventories rise, home price increases will not be as large going forward. So now is also a good time for Sellers.”
