Estero Florida Real Estate Condo Update – Oct. 2006

The Estero condo market continues to be sluggish.  During the month of October 2006, 6 condominium units were closed.  The previous month (September), 9 units were sold.  For the previous year, October saw 13 units sold, therefore the sluggish market.

The median price paid for an Estero condo in October of this year was $268,950 and the average was $294,650.  During September the median price was $294,000 and the average was 317044.  The decrease in prices paid in October was largely due to the number of higher priced condominiums sold.  In October 2005, the median price paid was $298,000, with the average price of $330,169. The interesting fact here is that larger units (1,423 vs. 1,374) square footage wise were sold in 2006 at a lesser per square foot price than in 2005; price per sq. ft. in 2006 was $207 versus the 2005 figure of $240.

The sluggishness of the Estero condo real estate market can also be seen in the average days on market:
October 2006 – 87 days, September 2006 – 96 days, October 2005 – 26 days.

As of December 9, 2006 there are a total 533 resale condominiums currently on the market for sale.
