I know, you’ve heard this before and are wary, but here are some Florida and Greater Orlando stats to think about! Year over year data show that approximately 38% more homes closed in September than a year earlier. Additionally, they rose 4.3% from August to 1335 properties. This has generally been consistent throughout the Greater Orlando area except for Lake County, which sold less home in September as opposed to August.
Now, I haven’t seen the figures for September, but according to RealtyTrac, Florida foreclosures dropped 4% from July to August while the national trend rose 12% during that period. Yet, I do have an issue with their methodology. They report the number of filings not foreclosures. While a property may have some sort of foreclosure filing, many are never foreclosed upon due to a short sale or some sort of lender negotiation. But nevertheless, this does show a trend of sorts.
Overall, I’ve noted an inverse relationship between the average & median prices and the number of sold properties. Last week, I published the market sales statistics and comparative analyses for Orange and Seminole counties and 11 cities within those two counties. One of the statistics that I produce is the month over month changes in the average sales price, median sales price and sales volume. In the majority of those reports I noted a general trend in that if there were a decrease in the average and median sales price, there was an inverse increase in the sales volume and vice versa. This may not appear obvious on the outset, but when you look at it, a lower price means a home is more affordable, therefore raising the areas affordability index.
Average Sales Price vs Median Sales Price vs Sales Volume
I’ve been of the belief that the best indicator of trends is closed sales volume, but it should be noted that many industry analysts believe that a better predictor is New Contracts/Pendings, properties under contract. While I understand that this shows a possible trend for future closings; it must be also understood that many, and especially in our current market, never make it to the closing table.

winter springs, seminole county, florida
The following are the market sales statistics for Winter Springs, Seminole County, Florida for September 2008. Winter Springs is made up of the zip code 32708. For purposes of this analysis we are only splitting the data according to single-family homes vs, condominiums, townhomes and villas.
A couple of definitions are in order. The median sales price means that 50% of the homes sold for more and 50% of the homes sold for less during a certain period of time – in other words, it’s the midpoint of sale prices. So basically what this means, is that the median sales price is showing market activity in that it’s specifically indicating which price range is more active.
The average sales price, as opposed to the median sales price, is the total volume of sold properties divided by the number of properties sold.
The sales to list price ratio is just that, you’re dividing the average sales price by the average list price and coming up with a percentage that tells you how much of the list price the average homes sold for.
There needs to be a disclaimer here. These stats are only as good as telling us what it being purchased and happening at a certain period in time. Also, it needs to be fully understood that not only is real estate local, but it is hyper-local. What this means is that the trends that we hear about are overall. Let’s put it this way, what’s happening in one neighborhood, may not be realized in the neighborhood next door.
Additionally, these are only monthly statistics and to get a better scope of what is happening, you need to look at a longer period of time. More high-end homes might be sold in one month as opposed to another. By looking at a longer period, you will get a better overall picture. It is all relative and this has to be understood when utilizing these stats.
