Median Price and Sales
The median price of the Single Family homes sold in Bonta Springs increased more than 80% from $409,900 in 2019 to $750,000 in 2023. Sales surged until around Q3 2021, thereafter returning to pre-pandemic levels in 2022 and 2023.

The median price of Villas (attached and detached) sold increased almost 80% from $308,500 in 2019 to $552,500 in 2023. Sales followed a similar pattern to that for SF. The decline was greater – but on a small number of sales.

The median price of Condos (and Townhouses) increased 85% from $259,000 in 2019 to $480,000 in 2023. Sales in 2023 dropped to a little below the pre-pandemic number.

Single Family Sales by Price
Another way to look at sales is the distribution by price.

In 2019, 69% of Single Family sales were under $500,000 and by 2023 that had dropped to just 15%. Conversely, the share of sales over $1 million went from 9% to 25% in the same period.

Villa Sales by Price
In 2019 78% of Villa sales were under $400,000 – and just 17% of sales in 2023. Conversely, the share over $500,000 went from 16% in 2019 to 68% in 2023.

Condo Sales by Price
The share of Condo sales under $400,000 dropped from 78% in 2019 to 30% in 2023. Meanwhile, the share of sales over $500,000 went from 17% in 2019 to 47% in 2023.

Price per Sq Ft (PSF) and Speed of Sales (Days to Offer Accepted – DTO)
PSF is another way to look at sales. For SFs the increase was 78% from `$207 in 2019 to $368 in 2023; for Villas, 81% from $188 to $349, and for Condos 96% from $166 to $325.

There was also a dramatic increase in the speed of sales, with the median DTO plummeting from 63 in 2019 down to just 8 in 2022 for SFs, from 54 to 6 for Villas, and from 693 to 6 for Condos.

Sales have been taking longer since Q3 2022, but they are still taking place more quickly than in the pre-pandemic years.

INVENTORY
The following charts show that, while inventory (green line) has recovered from the extremely low levels of late 2021, it remains well below pre-pandemic levels. The number of months of inventory (how many months it would take to sell the current inventory – blue line) has followed a similar pattern.

LONGER TERM VIEW
This chart and table show median prices since 2000.The median price did not exceed the 2006/07 peaks until 2021 for SFs and until 2022 for Villas and Condos. While the market conditions are vastly different from the earlier period, the slope of the increases from 2001-2005 and 2019-2022 is eerily similar. Over the whole of this century, the compound growth rate has been 5.7% for SFs, 4.0% for Villas and 5.1% for Condos. Unfortunately, the price appreciation has come in violent bursts rather than steady annual increases.

COMMENT
The numbers have been dramatic over the last few years, for all the well-known reasons. With the market returning to more normal conditions, pricing and condition are again important. If you are thinking of selling, please contact me for a current market analysis for your property.
