Harmony FL housing market statistics 2021 versus 2020 presented by Jeanine Corcoran broker for The Corcoran Connection a real estate company. Jeanine is joined by her co-host Kristin Macari owner of Studio Nine 13. Welcome to the 9th episode of Discover Harmony Florida.
Jeanine stated that appraisers will not compare two-story homes to one-story homes and as a result that is the way we will break down the housing market statistics for 2021 versus 2020. In 2020 the median price per square foot was $144.50 and in 2021 it was $173.96 for single-story homes. This was a 20% jump in the price per square foot for single-story homes.
This 20% increase is coming off a year that was already high. Jeanine added that if she were an investor, she would be investing in single-story homes all day long because they fit a wide variety of people. You have families where mom and dad are living with them, and they need to be in a downstairs bedroom, and you don’t always have that with a two-story home. Jeanine said a one-story home fits everyone.
Jeanine then went to the category of “days on the market”. In 2020 which was a fast-moving market the average days on the market was 12 days. In comparison, it was only 4 days on the market in 2021. Kristin added that a seller needed 4 days to go through the 40+ offers on each home that was sold.
Jeanine then moved on to Harmony FL housing statistics for two-story homes. In 2020, the price per square foot was $123.70 and in 2021, that number jumped to $144.65 which represents a 17% increase year over year.
Then looking at the average days on the market for two-story homes, in 2020 it was 30 days and in 2021, it was only 4 days on the market. In 2020, there were 56 homes sold and in 2021, there were 80 homes sold.
Jeanine then gave the housing market statistics for The Lakes in Harmony which is a 55 and older community. She noted that selling a home in The Lakes usually takes longer because people in that age group tend to take more time to think through things and decide what they are going to do. It is not a quick process for them.
In 2020, the average price per square foot for The Lakes was $141.95 and in 2021 it was $161.09 which represents a 13.5% increase. Kristin added that the reason the increase wasn’t as large with The Lakes is that the resales are newer there and they are still building new construction.
It is always a challenge when you are competing against the builder. Last year in 2020, it was 52 days on the market and this year in 2021 it was 25 days. Eight homes were sold in 2020 and in 2021 the number sold was 8 again.
Townhome statistics were next on Jeanine’s agenda. In 2020 the price per square foot was $116.74 and in 2021, it was $124.20 which is a 6% increase. Last year in 2020, there were 10 townhomes sold and in 2021, there were only 7 sold. The average number of days on market in 2020 was 24 days and in 2021 it was 43 days. There was one property that stayed on the market for 145 days that caused the disparity in this particular metric.
Now onto Harmony FL housing market statistics for condos. In Ashley Park there are townhomes and condos. There are 3 condo units for every building, and they are all the same. The price per square foot for condos in 2020 was $111.70 and in 2021 it was $117.03 which is a 5% increase. There were 12 condos sold in 2020 and 16 sold in 2021. The average number of days on the market in 2020 was 29 and in 2021 it was 15 days.
