Online Views Spike in the Bonita Springs and Estero Real Estate Markets
Bonita Springs, FL | February 22, 2018 —— According to the Bonita Springs-Estero REALTORS® Media Committee, the overall number of pending sales have increased by 13 percent in January 2018 versus January 2017. Additionally, closed sales in the same time comparison have also increased by 10 percent. “The increase in demand for homes in this market is further corroborated by the number of online views in the market as reported by Realtor.com,” stated a local Broker. “Realtor.com showed 8.9 million active listing page views in Bonita Springs and Estero for January 2018 versus 5 million in December 2017,” he adds. “Buyers are actively looking in this market.”
In the luxury market, which are homes priced $1 million and above, area brokers have reported an oversupply of inventory with less activity than other price segments. “The slower activity in the luxury market may be due to larger scale storm damage, which takes longer to repair,” stated Julie Ross, Appraiser, Carroll & Carroll. Ross adds, “In all other price segments, appraisal activity has been steadily increasing since December 2017.” Overall inventory also saw an increase but was offset by the increase in pending sales.
The market continues to follow a stable path in both pricing and the days on market. Combined with the notable increase in online views, the Bonita Springs and Estero markets are a viable and desirable option for buyers, perhaps more so than surrounding markets. “Buyers are savvy enough to know that they can get the same gulfside lifestyle in this market, but with a better value than other neighboring cities”, stated a local Broker. “This makes Bonita Springs and Estero the top of the list for buyers.”
