Market Update 4th Quarter of 2013 The economy and housing statistics continued on a positive trend in the 4th Quarter of 2013. Increases in the GDP, the number of jobs, new home starts and median home prices were refreshing indicators of a bright end to this rebound of a year. In 2013, the country saw the strongest annualized gain in housing prices since 2006. While many are predicting that the increase in sales prices will slow down in 2014 to more modest levels, isolated markets may still see double digit increases as they are still catching up from the down years. Palm Beach County is currently a high demand area and has had nearly double the cash buyers than in previous years. This combined with better credit applicants and the absence of subprime mortgages makes another housing bubble less likely. A closer look at our local real estate market shows that while prices are increasing, the number of sales is steadily declining. This is most likely due to the lack of available inventory, rising mortgage rates and increasing prices. For the first time in a year, the number of available listings has increased in the Northern Palm Beach County and Martin County markets. We invite you to preview our quarterly report for further analysis of how various areas in our markets performed compared to last year. Please feel free to contact one of our professionals for any assistance as you evaluate your own real estate plans this year. Coastal Sotheby’s International Realty
