"What's going on with the market?" "I can't stand VRBO fees." "How do I maximize my rentals?" "I'm buying or selling a condo...what do I need to know?"
I have been selling gulf-front condos since 2003 and get a version of one of these almost every day. Here are a few "pro-tips" to help the condo owner, buyer or seller.
1. What's up with condo prices?
Condo owners continue to flood my email and phone with questions about the market. There is a growing concern that prices might finally have to go in the other direction after years of solid appreciation. One of the best ways to see where the market is headed is to focus on the "months of inventory" number. Here's a brief video I recorded explaining this concept and how it applies to newer and older units in PCB.
2. I'm tired of VRBO
In the last couple of years, increasing fees on VRBO have cut into owner's profits. I spoke with an owner recently who have moved away from VRBO entirely. Here is his simple strategy:
"I get a good number of leads from Emerald Coast By Owner and a few from Florida Rentals. The Visit Panama City Beach site allows us to advertise there for free and we get a steady stream of visitors to that page. I don’t advertise on vrbo any more and I don’t miss them at all."
