Local February 2021 sales and trend information courtesy of The Crawford Group.
Last month, 83 properties sold at an average price of $273,911, or $151.80 per square foot. The highest price paid for any home during the month was $590,000 and homes were on the market for an average of fewer than 19 days before contract. More than 70 percent of homes sold in February went for at least $250,000.
Mitchell Crawford, of the Crawford Group, said the average selling price per square foot increased 32 percent since February 2019, when 68 Plant City-area homes sold at an average of $115.20 per square foot.
“Plant City is known for its trains and this real estate train is still chugging along to new highs,” Crawford said. “Mortgage rates have risen slightly, and the lower housing inventory does not seem to stall the sales numbers. We are seeing multiple buyer offers for homes priced well. This continues to be a seller’s market, but there are inherit risks to these increases. Will the home appraise for the purchase price? Will the transaction fall apart? This is paramount for both parties to have an experienced Realtor handling the transaction on their behalf. There are many options to keep the deal from falling apart. All that said, the market is still moving forward.”
