To summarize Anna Maria Real Estate for sale for the first eight months of 2018 it’s continuing with very strong sales Y-T-D continuing up 9% over 2017 which as I mentioned again in last month’s newsletter, was an exceptionally strong sales year at 401 properties sold and historically low inventory which we have experienced since 2010. Thirteen of the last sixteen months the inventory has been below 300. Attesting to the strong market on AMI, I have again left the article that I put in May’s newsletter from a personal finance site (GOBANKINGRATES- see attached article) that used data from Zillow comparing median home prices from January 1998 and January 2018 in 25 cities around the country to identify those where prices had gone up the most. Of the top 10 cities it’s not surprising that 8 were in California, 1 was in Hawaii and the #5 city was Anna Maria. Holmes Beach was in the top 25 at #23…. Which supports the great long term value in property on the island.
The properties on this month’s Frank, Scott & Al’s Great Buy’s list have not changed from last month. If you’re looking for a great location in Holmes Beach with 180-degree views of the Gulf, then you must look at this one of a kind condo 5622 Gulf Drive Vista # 4 listed at $2,600,000 arguably the best built complex on the island with only 4 units in the complex. At the other end of the spectrum is 3303 Gulf Dr. Pirates Cove #1 totally remodeled condo recently reduced to $424,900. Call me for more information on these or other real estate opportunities.
