Last month, 103 properties sold at an average price of $278,521 at an average of $147.33 per square foot. The highest price paid for any home during the month was $770,000 and homes were on the market for an average of fewer than 15 days before contract. There was a 24 percent increase in sales over February, though the average price per square foot dipped from $151.80 in February.
In the first quarter of 2021, 252 homes in the Plant City area sold — up from 201 during the first quarter of 2020.
Mitchell Crawford, of the Crawford Group, said the market is moving forward and April “appears to be on track to move higher.”
“Everyone from their sister’s second cousin believes that just because they have a license to sell real estate, they know what they are doing,” Crawford said. “As a buyer or seller, please seek out a real estate professional with experience. Buyers are constantly subjected to multiple-offer situations, and to secure the winning contract your agent needs to be creative, escalation clause, non-refundable escrow, appraisal gap differences, etc. On the other side, the listing agent needs to know how to explain these options to the seller. A seasoned professional will help navigate through these issues… as we approach the primary selling season of April through September, the activity is only going to get more competitive. Find your seasoned real estate professional. This, I can’t emphasize enough, will save you money and time and give you less stress in the process.”
