Compared with 2019 figures Plant City-area real estate sales dropped while sale prices increased — a trend that’s defined much of this year in real estate.

Last month, 70 single-family homes sold with an average sale price of $240,762 ($131.27 per square foot). Compared to last May, that represents an 11 percent increase in average sale price (vs. $217,466 and $118.73 per square foot in 2019). There was also an 11 percent year-to-year increase in April 2020 sales.

Mitchell Crawford, of the Crawford Group, said that Plant City is “still very much in a seller’s market” and that the busiest part of the buying/selling season is nearly here. He also cautions potential sellers to be wary of companies that offer to buy homes without visiting them.

“We recently had a client ask us about the typical selling process,” Crawford said. “They had originally went with one of those Internet companies which basically buys the home sight unseen, gives them a contract and, in this case, delayed for more than 90 days before they attempted to follow the contract deadlines. Without Realtor representation, they didn’t know the processes or what their options were. The ‘company’ then presented them with an addendum seeking close to $20,000 in repair and so-called market decline credits to continue forward with the contract. Their home should have closed within 45 days, but now they have to start the process over again. This is one of the main reasons, as a buyer or seller, to get Realtor representation — someone who is looking after their best interest.”
