On Monday, HomeGain, the first company to provide free instant home valuations online, released the national and regional results of our survey of over 1150 HomeGain current and former members. The survey asked their opinions on home prices and what they thought of President Obama’s performance as President so far. On the HomeGain real estate blog we published the national and regional 2nd Qtr results. Earlier this week we published the results of the California home prices and Texas home prices surveys.
Today we are releasing the Florida home prices survey data.
The survey shows a shift in the perception of Florida home buyers from the first quarter Florida home prices survey, with a greater percentage of home buyers believing that Florida homes for sale are either fairly priced or over priced by less than 10% (see Question 3).
Florida home sellers have also adjusted their expectations downward from the first quarter with 8% of home sellers thinking that their homes were worth 21-30% more than their Realtors’ suggested vs. 19% who so believed so in the first quarter. (see Question 2).
In the first quarter survey, sixty-four percent of Florida Realtors believed that home prices would drop in the next six months. In the current survey, just 24% of survey respondents believed that home values would experience further price depreciation in the next six months.
A majority of Florida Realtors (52%) now believe that prices will stabilize in the next six months vs. 28% who believed the same in the first quarter survey. The perceptions of Florida Realtors in the second quarter survey are more closely aligned with their nationwide counterparts, 29% of whom think home prices will decline in the next six months and 49% of whom believe prices will remain the same in the next six months.
Florida Realtors continue to express skepticism regarding the Obama stimulus package with 59% of survey respondents believing the plan will have no impact on Florida home prices. Florida Realtors also rated Obama’s performance as President lower than their national counterparts with 54% approving his performance vs. 57% nationwide.
