Bird Key 2009 Year End Real Estate Perspective
There were 34 homes sold this past year, identical to 34 in 2008, 32 in 2007 and 18 in 2006. The annual sales volume was $32,000,000 compared to $46,000,000 in 2008 and $75,000,000 in 2007. The main reason for the significant decrease in the sales volume is that there has only been one sale of a substantial bay front home this year. Homes sold on average for 76% of list price compared to 80% in 2008. The average days to contract are down from 200 in 2008 to 181 days. Twenty three of this years closed sales were garden homes as opposed to the more expensive waterfront homes.
