Low Interest Rates
According to Freddie Mac, interest rates remain low; the average 30-year mortgate rate has been hovering in the low 6% area, check today’s average here. Locking in a low interest rate will save you money on the purchase of your home.

Home Inventory
With a large inventory of available homes, the buyer has many more options. Buyers now take more time, see more homes and find the home they really want, at a great price, often with great incentives. The time is now to find the home you want.

Incredible Values
Sellers are more flexible on price and are offering a variety of incentives. There are incredible values currently on the market. Historically, real estate prices on Longboat Key have risen over the long term. While currently depressed, the cycle will again show an upward trend in prices. Find your bargain now before the great values disappear.

Imagine
Imagine if you would have known 10 years ago what you know now. Did you think that prices were too high in 1997, 1987, or 1977? In hindsight, many woulda, coulda, shoulda bought that home. Today the large inventory of available homes and the best prices in many years, provide opportunity to find the home you want at a great price.

How long will this opportunity be here? Accurate timing of an exact market low is elusive - like timing the stock market, it’s best seen after it passes. Could next year possibly be lower, or will it be higher?

Over the long run, Longboat Key home prices have risen consistently and will again. They’re not making any more water front, the island is almost completely built-out, the intrinsic attraction of our community continues. Don't wish you had. Be glad you did.
