You know there was the increasing market values since 2011. It had hit the new peak values when Covid happened. Then the truly unexpected market became the highest values in history until June of 2022. The market has completely changed across the USA with more homes being reduced in price or not selling at all than in 2008 to 2011. No more all over the asking price offers. There is a very big slowdown with inventory low. Inflation and rising mortgage rates have caused this to happen. Mortgage Rates started to come down but are still above 6%. The Fed says they will reduce the Fed Rates 3 times this year but they may increase that. Will not be a quick reversal with expert predictions of a year or so to get back to some normalcy. As always, home values vary based on a number of reasons including condition, amenities and timing of the market. You may not be considering moving right away but as life changes happen, homeowners still will be wanting and needing to sell their homes. Downsizing, need larger homes for family reasons, medical, job loss, relocations or other reasons. It will get back to normal. You may already know that the normal real estate market goes in 6 to 8 year cycles of up and down which will eventually happen.

************The value below is based on the detailed research we did and the information we obtained from telling us about your house. 4 bedrooms plus office, 2.5 baths main house. Separate 2 bedroom, 2 bath with kitchen. 2 car garage, pool, 5,042 total AC space, 31,641 corner lot, shingle roof 30 years, new AC and 1.5 year old AC, newer water heater, hurricane panels, upgraded kitchen, tile-wood-carpet floors, newer

fencing.************

Until closed, the Back Up, Pending Sale and Active homes above have no bearing on current values because only closed homes are used by appraisers.

These are the major comparable amounts that appraisers use - extra sqft AC space possible $3,000 per room or more in value depending on differences/extra bedroom $5,000 to $7,500 in value/lake lots or pools $10,000 to $15,000 extra each in value depending on sqft and water area size/lot sizes vary: for example an average empty acre in Broward will be between $300,000 and $400,000.

Appraisers also look at inside and outside condition, upgrades, roof and AC ages, plus more. They very rarely give what most owners would want for remodeled kitchens, flooring, baths, etc.

If roof ages are not given in any of the homes in this analysis and those sold homes did not pass roof inspection, insurance may be an issue. All insurance companies have become very strict about new policies regarding roofs. Tile roofs only given life of 25 or less years even though they last at least 35 years. Shingle roofs only 20 years and in some cases less. A few companies will insure less than 3 or 5 years of life left but higher premiums. If roof is 20 years old, then only 5 years of life left. May not affect your rates if not moving. Any owner selling and new homeowner could have a problem. We know there are questions, so call us for more details.
