🇺🇸 Happy Labor Day!
Today we celebrate the hardworking people who help make our communities such wonderful places to live. While you’re enjoying the long weekend, here’s a quick look at what’s happening in the Charlotte County single family home market:
📈 Closed sales increased 14% year over year
🏷️ Median sale price reached $353,545
🏠 Active inventory decreased 25%
⏳ Homes took a median of 78 days to go under contract
🤝 Sellers received 93% of their original asking price
What does this mean?
Buyers may still have room to negotiate, especially when a home has been sitting on the market. Sellers need to price strategically from day one because the “let’s list high and see what happens” approach can quickly backfire.
Real estate is local, and the right strategy depends on the neighborhood, property condition, insurance costs, and comparable homes.
Curious what these numbers mean for your next move in Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, or the surrounding area? Send me a message. I’m always happy to help!
