Real Estate Snapshot NEW CONTRUCTION

Following a drop in supply in July, FloridaRealtors® noted that U.S. home construction rebounded above expectations during the month of August. Applications for building permits in Florida rose 6% leading to optimistic forecasts for the remainder of the year. The building process is experiencing lengthened construction times for all kinds of housing. According to New Home Source, construction style and environment has an effect on the average time it takes to construct a new home. Custom homes average 8.9 months, while a production home averages 6.1 months to complete. During the pre-construction phase, approvals of building permits and inspections can also cause delays. Although, Floridians continue to build year-round, a shortage of labor and materials during summer did have an effect on southern production this year.

statistics for August in the Florida Housing market. The median price statewide for single-family homes rose to $354,000 (up 18%). Condo sales were up 13.1% over a year ago with the average price rising to $252,500. Marion County had 868 single-family homes sell in August 2021, a change of 12.3% over last year at this time. The average price in August was $328,801. Marion County’s median average for a single-family residence is $235,000, up 26.3% over August 2020 and a huge margin over the median average of $110,824 recorded a decade ago.

An underbuilt market is one of the factors helping sustain valuation in the hot housing market. Most experts predict an increase in inventory heading into spring 2022. Some of it will come from new construction, or from older homeowners who had postponed listing their home for sale the last two years because they didn’t want to sell and move during a pandemic.

Nationally, inventory remained constrained with completed sales down by 2% over the same time last year. Nine out of ten homes sold (87%) in August were on the market for less than a month. Homes were snapped up shortly after being offered on the Multiple Listing Service. Within the Ocala zip codes, the average Days On Market in August was 16 days. Cash sales have increased 39.7% in the last year. To compete and be taken seriously by home sellers, buyers should have a mortgage pre-approval letter in advance of making offers. High demand and low interest rates: Florida’s active listings of single-family homes were down over 32% year-over-year. However, Marion Coun-

ty sellers presented 868 residences which was an 8.2% increase in new listings from June’s offerings, but accounts for just 1.3 months of supply. FloridaRealtors reported that the average mortgage rate in September has inched upward to 2.86% for a 30-year fi ed rate mortgage; and 2.15% for a 15-year year fi ed rate mortgage. The 5-year Treasury-indexed hybrid adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) averaged 2.43% with an average 0.3 point.

RENTALS

The high demand in rental properties has caused a nationwide increase in rent — averaging 7% higher over June 2020 rents. According to Zillow, this marks the largest annual increase since 2015. The uncertainty some renters face is the possibility of landlords being tempted into selling their rental homes in a feverish seller’s market. In recent months, Ocala City Council members have approved several housing developments including a 360-unit apartment complex across from the College of Central Florida campus. Real estate experts are predicting that home price growth will decelerate in the coming year. —Julie K .Castro Chart Statistics courtesy of

How to Choose a House Where You Can Work From Home

People across the United States have begun working from home more frequently. For many, this will be a long-term or permanent change. If your current living and working situation is less than ideal and you’re thinking about buying a new house, here are some things to consider. SELECT A LOCATION

If you’re going to work from home for the foreseeable future, you may be able to live practically anywhere, including a place where you had always dreamed of living but never imagined you would have the opportunity. Consider the region where you would like to make your new home, what type of community you would like to live in and whether you would like to be closer to family and friends..

FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU NEED TO DO YOUR JOB

Focus on a house’s design and think about whether it would suit your work-fromhome needs. Make aesthetic considerations secondary.

You should have an office that is spacious enough for you to work from home comfortably, but it doesn’t have to be a large room. In fact, a space that is too big may create more problems because it may become cluttered and disorganized.

Ask your real estate agent for advice on choosing a house that fits your needs and budget.

Create a list of things that are absolutely critical for you to work from home successfully, such as reliable internet access and other forms of technology, as well as other features that would be nice to have, such as privacy and lots of natural light. A list can guide you when you compare properties.

FIND A HOUSE WHERE YOU CAN HAVE A DEDICATED SPACE TO WORK

Look for a house with a separate room that you can use as an office. It should have a door so you can have peace and quiet, as well as keep kids and pets out when you can’t be disturbed.

A common area, such as the kitchen or living room, is not a good place to work, especially if other family members will be at home too. There will be too many distractions and you may get on each other’s nerves. It can also be hard to have video conferences in areas where other people are around.

BE FLEXIBLE

When you look at a house, you may envision your ideal work-from-home arrangement. After you move in, you may realize that your plan doesn’t work as well as you expected, or the demands of your job or your family’s needs may change. Choose a house that will give you flexibility so you can change your arrangement as needed.

THINK ABOUT YOUR FINANCES

Working from home means you won’t have to spend money to commute, but that doesn’t mean that you should buy a much more expensive house than you currently own. Between mortgage payments, homeowners insurance, utilities, property taxes and other expenses, you may become strained financially. Get preapproved for a mortgage, consider all expenses and ask your real estate agent for advice on choosing a house that fits your needs and budget. Reprinted with permission from RISMedia. ©2020.
