August sales were down from July’s total of 533. That isn’t a surprise seeing those contracts would have been written 30 to 60 days prior and the summer is traditionally our slower season. What might be considered a mild surprise is that active listings are at their highest since January. With sales about 100 homes per month higher than 1 year ago you’d think listing would have gone down more by now. Maybe sellers who held off are now getting ready to sell and move on.

Now is the time to buy. Not next year and definitely not later than that. Call me, email me or fill out my Ocala Dream Home Finder.
