5. Real Estate News and Forecasts - February 2008
An abundance of inventory - For every ten homes on residential Duck Key approximately one in ten was for sale this January 2008. Just a few years ago there were only a total of ten residential homes on the market and realtors complained that too few home were available to show interested buyers. Now it is a buyers' market with home owners competing with bank owned and foreclosed homes and short sales. Two residential properties on Duck Key are currently in foreclosure.
On the commercial Indies side of Duck Key one in every eleven villas and condos was for sale this January 2008. Word has it that more than fifteen properties are in preforeclosure. Fewer villas are for sale now than previously as many owners have pulled their properties from the sale listing. Some are listing their property exclusively with a realtor so they do not appear on the multiple listing service.
One in eleven properties may seem like a lot, but down the road in Marathon, Tranquility Bay Beach House Resort had 28 out of 87 units for sale this past January. That's about one in every three Tranquility properties for sale. For more go to Real Estate News and Forecasts - February 2008
