A FOURTEEN-YEAR REVIEW OF HOME PRICE TRENDS
In 2015, the 30A corridor home and condo real estate market became a billion dollar industry. Since then, the industry has grown 30% with dollar sales volume reaching almost $1.5 billion in 2017; this was 21% over the 2016 year. Factors that propelled the 2017 increase include:
• Number of transactions – up 11%
• Average home sales price at
$1 million – up 9%
2017’s average dollar per square foot of sold homes was $415, almost a 20% increase over the last 3 years.
Plans for the 2018 summer include adding Denver as a non-stop flight location to Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport (ECP). This city joins others like Austin, Baltimore/Washington, Chicago, and St. Louis with summer non-stop flights. The sustained interest in our area is certainly increasing accessibility. We anticipate this will continue fueling our 30A corridor real estate market.
