In the heart of the Upper Keys, the gated, 60-acre Ocean Pointe grounds offer a home-away-from-home in a natural island paradise.

Elegantly remodeled, this unit features granite countertops with tumbled copper slate walls in the kitchen, with new tile floors and mirrored walls in the living areas.

Closed Sales - What is the percentage of listing price to sales price?

Tracy Larson, Realtor in the Florida Keys / 305-522-3812 |
When buyers are looking at property, they often ask their Realtor what they think the seller will take for the home. They want to know how much the seller will come down from their listing price. While it is true that some properties sell for full listing price, many do not.
But how big is the difference between asking price and selling price? According to MLS statistics, not that much. A quick look at the sales for the last six months in the Upper Florida Keys shows that it is an average of 91.75 percent. Click on the chart below for a larger image with break-downs of the different property categories.
The properties in this report are located in the areas of Key Largo, Tavernier and Islamorada.
To find out more information about any of the recent sales, please contact me at 305-522-3812 or via email.

Year End Review - Florida Keys real estate sales, 2010 compared to 2009
10:04 AM | Posted by
Tracy Larson, Realtor in the Florida Keys / 305-522-3812 |
Now that we've got the holidays and festivities behind us, let's take a look at how 2010 compares to 2009.
I've been tracking market stats all the way back to 2003. It's interesting to look back and see how the market climbed before the inevitable decline. 2004 and 2005 were the glory days in Florida Keys real estate!
In 2010 we continued to see declines in the various market categories, but the decline was not nearly as dramatic as years past, giving hope that perhaps the market is stabilizing.
Clicking on the chart will provide a larger view of the numbers. Areas include Key Largo, Tavernier, and Islamorada
The question everyone is asking - have we hit bottom - remains unanswered as long as we continue to see decreases, but the lower percentages are a good indication that we might see the bottom soon.
If you'd like more information on any particular segment of the market, please do not hesitate to contact me.
