Anna Maria Island real estate sales for 2017 was higher than 2016. December 31, 2017 Y-T-D AMI sales were 401(SF-226, Con-132, Dup-25, & Lot-18) up 11% from December 31, 2016 Y-T-D at 361 (SF-212, Con-109, Dup-24 & Lot-16).
Sales in December 2017 for Anna Maria City, Holmes Beach and Bradenton Beach were 27 (SF-17, Con-7, Dup-2 & Lot-1) down 4% below December 2016 at 28 (SF-15, Con-12, Dup-1 & Lot-0). Of the 2017 sales only 1% or 6 (SF-4, Con-1, Dup-1 & Lot-0) were distressed properties (bank owned or short sales) compared to .5% or 2 (SF-2, Con-0, Dup-0 & Lot-0) for 2016. As you can see by the numbers since 2010, which was where the market bottomed from the peak of 2005, sales have been strong in either the high 300’s or low 400’s. The inventory has been very low over the last 6-8 months in the mid 200’s which is the lowest I’ve seen it in the 30 years I have been on the island. The average inventory over most of those 30 years has been 400-450 properties for sale at any one time. Inventory is currently at 254 (SF-139, Con-80, Dup-21 & Lot-14). Inventory for the previous twelve months were 249, 231, 214, 223, 240, 254, 267, 297, 297, 310, 290, 298. Low inventory while still showing extremely strong sales means it’s a sellers’ market.
There is something for everybody on Frank, Scott & Al’s Great Buy’s list this month. If you’re looking for a starter property very close to the beach, then 1603 Gulf Dr. #2 is for you.
