If we see some volume to go along with these lower supply levels it could get interesting. When Dr. Silander, my economics professor, first drew that supply vs. demand graph for me I had little idea it would apply to my real estate career – but the forces still work fine.
NABOR (Naples Area Board of REALTORS) and The Naples Daily News reported Naples real estate levels are at five year lows – that could be good for price support. The national news is similar. Florida Realtor and Realtor.com reported last week that “Housing inventory slid to 1.89 million homes in December – down 6 percent from the previous month and 22.3 percent from the prior year.” Predictably prices went up along with this news – in the same report “the national median price edged up 5 percent year-over-year.”
We need the demand side of my professor’s graph to go along with the supply side. Volumes are a little light right now – as previously reported – but you have to like these lower supplies to put a foundation under this market.
I am looking forward to the rest of 2012.
