Pinellas County FL Real Estate Statistics

This month I’d like to present you with a variety of statistics in different forms, along with an overall statistic report, to find out which you feel are most useful to you.  I’ll be including the graphs I have been using all along at the very end to show the overall sales in the county for the last 6-7 years in addition to some new ones I now have access to. I have the ability now to break down the statistics by zip code and if you’re planning to buy or sell it’s more useful to have the market statistics for your area than for the overall county. You can help me by leaving a comment below to let me know which one(s) you find easiest to understand and most useful.

This first set are ‘gauge’ statistics (kind of like the fuel gauge on your car’s dashboard). The new statistics come out around the 10th of each month and these will update automatically on my site when the new ones come out.

These look at a specific statistic and compare it to the 5 year average of that same statistic and show if it is currently above the 5 year average (more to the right and in the grey area) or below it (more to the left and in the colored area):

      The next set are line graphs. These show a line graph for a specific statistic over certain period of time. I’m only using one statistic below but showing you the various periods of time. This graph can show the statistic for all types of properties, for just homes/villa or just condos/townhouses or comparing both on the same graph. I will use a larger size when posting these for you but for now I’m using a smaller size just to give you an idea of how it looks. If you like this statistic leave me a comment below to let me know which of the periods you find to be most useful:

Year to Date

---

1 Year

---

2 Years

---

3 Years

---

5 Years

Here is an example showing both types of properties for the 5 year period on the same graph but as separate lines:

And then there is the overall report I debuted last month. This can also be done for each zip code and can be done just for homes/villas or condos/townhouses. This is the one I showed last month which is for condos and townhouses in the 33767 (Clearwater Beach) area and was for the month of July:

Here are the graphs I normally provide you each month showing the sales and inventory from Jan 2007 through last month. These still show a strong market which is still a seller’s market, however, the typical fall slowdown has started and there are also more sellers deciding to sell their properties which has resulted in a slight increase in inventory. This is resulting in a slower increase in prices and a movement toward a more normal market. (Click on either graph to see if full-sized.)

Information for charts above was taken from PRO/Suncoast MLS from Jan 2007 thru May 2011 & from the MFRMLS for May 2011 thru September 2013. This information may or may not include all listed expired, withdrawn, pending or sold properties of one or more members of the My Florida Regional Multiple Listing Service.

Now I need your feedback! Please let me know which of the new statistic graph and/or report formats you find most easy to understand and most useful to you. You can list them by commenting below and you’re welcome to put as many as you wish. The choices are:
