Housing market report for St. Cloud FL April 2022 presented by Jeanine Corcoran. She is the broker for The Corcoran Connection, a real estate company. She is joined by her co-host Kristin Macari owner of Studio Nine 13. Welcome to the 19th episode of Discover St. Cloud Florida.
Kristin started by asking Jeanine what happened in the St. Cloud Florida real estate market in April? Jeanine replied that she always starts by zip code because St. Cloud has so many. Starting with zip code 34769 which had 41 total homes sold in April.
Jeanine stated that they always separate one-story homes from two-story homes when reporting housing statistics. She said the two are apples and oranges. Appraisers will not appraise a single-story against a two-story.
There were 37 one-story homes that sold in April with the price per square foot being $221.77. There were 4 two-story homes that sold with a price per square foot of $174.55. As we have reported many times, two-story homes always sell at a lower price per square foot than one-story homes.
Kristin added that there was a 4% increase for one-story homes sold in zip code 34769 and a 59% increase in two-story homes sold. She believes there must have been an outlier last month that led to the sizable difference between the two this month.
Kristin said regardless, zip code 34769 is still increasing. This zip code almost doubled its sales from March to April 2022. There were 25 homes sold in March and 41 this past April. Jeanine added that there are 32 actives and 70 pending. Kristin said this represents the downtown area in Saint Cloud, the historic part of the town.
Kristin asked Jeanine about zip code 34771. Jeanine said she has 3 pages of statistics on this zip code. There were 71 sales in April, 46 were one-story homes and 25 were two-story homes sold. Regarding the one-story homes that were sold the price per square foot was $249.50. The price per square foot for the two-story homes was $188.67.
Kristin said the homes sold in zip code 34771 for April were increased versus March home sales. There was a 5% increase for the one-story homes and a 2% increase for the two-story homes. Seventy-five homes were sold in March and 71 homes were sold in April 2022. Jeanine added that it is still the most active zip code with new construction. There are 96 actives and 247 pending homes for sale.
Moving on to zip code 34772 there were 43 homes sold in April 2022. There were 28 one-story homes sold and 15 were two-story homes. The price per square foot for the one-story homes was $235.79 and for the two-story homes, it was $192.10.
Kristin added that there was a 3% increase in the one-story homes that sold over March and an 8% increase for the two-story homes that sold. She said it was a bit slower in April compared to March. There were 69 homes sold in March and 43 in April. Jeanine said that there are 47 active and 106 homes pending.
Jeanine said we then have our sleeper zip code, 34773, where it is quieter than the others. This zip code represents Harmony, Florida. There were 13 homes that sold where 9 were one-story homes and 4 were two-story. The one-story homes that sold had a price per square foot of $198.42 versus the two-story homes which were $176.93. Kristin added that this was the only zip code that saw a slight decrease in their overall price per square foot numbers. The one-story homes decreased by 2.5% and the two-story homes dropped by 19%. Jeanine said there are 17 active and 72 pending homes for sale.
