On April 1, 2020 Florida Governor Ron DeSantis issued Executive Order Number 20-91, deeming both residential and commercial real estate essential in Florida. We continue to practice real estate in accordance with CDC guidelines for social distances. With the technology able today we are able to provide essential services through virtual practices. Our office continues to have showings and to list properties, albeit virtually.
Here is the latest Boca Raton real estate market activity for the week of March 30 - April 5, 2020:
Weekly Activity over $1,000,000
These numbers represent residential listings in Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and Highland Beach with a list price of $1,000,000 or more. Closings are still happening, but those mostly reflect transactions that were signed in February, so the number of closings is a lagging indicator of market activity. New listings are down significantly compared to the first week in March. The number of properties taken off the market is continuing to grow, and exceeds the number of new listings. The percentage of properties with accepted offers was 13% as of April 6, 2020.
Weekly Activity over $200,000
These represent residential listings in Boca Raton, Delray Beach and Highland Beach with a list price of $200,000 or more. New listings declined 18% (less than half of those from the first week of March). New pending contracts declined 18% as well. So people are still buying homes. The percentage of properties with accepted offers was 23% as of April 6, 2020.
