Trick or Treat! … I’m always astounded by how many consumers select their real estate representation. Don’t be fooled by inexperience; everyone knows someone who works in real estate. That long-lost friend, a neighbor, or their family’s second cousin. This will probably be one of your major assets, and a little interview process will go a long way. One thing for certain, select a Realtor®, they are governed by higher standards and ethics. Ask for their transaction history, are they full-time, and how long have they been licensed to start.
The real estate transaction shouldn’t be a scary ordeal. In a recent report from the “Consumer Federation of America,” over 70% of active real estate agents did not sell one home last year. That’s the scary part if you happen to choose one of those agents. Please do your research before making a selection; the wrong choice could be costly on either side, buying or selling. An experienced Realtor® will know the market, will know the comparable properties and will know the contract processes; all of these things create a smooth transaction for all parties.
So do your due diligence and let the Trick or Treat be for the kids’ enjoyment of Halloween, not a costly real estate mistake. Ultimately, the real estate process is one of the most significant financial transactions most people will ever undertake. It’s important to trust this journey to someone who is not only qualified but also fully committed to your success. The changing market requires a Realtor® who has the expertise, resources, and dedication to guide you every step of the way.
As we look at the Plant City housing data, September 2025, our market area had 96 homes closed this month, with new construction homes slightly declining but still contributing about 40% of the units sold. We are currently on trend to sell about 1,200 homes this year, which is about a 13% decline from last year’s total. We have another 126 under contract and 310 available for sale this month. We are carrying less than a 3-month’s supply housing inventory, and our average days on market decreased this month to about 46 days. At this level, we are still under a slight advantage to the sellers if they price accordingly to their market valuation.
In September 2025, the average sold price was $384,367, and the average price per SF was $206.81 compared to last month, these data points were down 1.3% in average price and up 2.9% in price per SF. We have just concluded the Q3 for the year, compared to last Q3, we are down in units 295 vs 343, up in average sales contract price $384,937 vs $369,567, up in price per SF $201.92 vs. $191.58, the median sales price is up $358,922 vs $352,667, and inventory is up 2.98 month’s supply vs. 1.99. The market is basically in a stationary position awaiting the FED’s fiscal policy changes forthcoming.
The prevailing average mortgage rates from Freddie Mac for the 30-year-term loans continue to decline. September’s monthly average came in at 6.35% down from August’s average of 6.58%. The first week of October, the average rate was down to 6.34%. We are anticipating the FED making its next rate cut in the coming weeks. This rate cut may enhance the buyer’s purchasing power and increase the demand on the limited housing inventory.
So, what about the coming months? People will be buying and selling homes, circumstances are always changing, job location changes, family size changes, life in general changes, mortgage rates will be changing … so wherever you are on this spectrum, seek out an experienced Realtor® to get your questions answered. The supply-demand models will dictate the new market levels, but interest rates will recede, increasing demand on the limited supply, and prices will rise.
As always, I cannot express enough this importance, if you are in the market to buy or sell your home, please seek an experienced professional Realtor® to assist you in this transaction process. There are too many consequences, rules, and statutes are changing, going it alone without proper experienced representation will likely have you leaving money on the table. Get the real scoop on our market. If you have any questions, want a market value analysis of your home, or see what’s available to purchase, please reach out.
