The current market has exceeds the normal trend.

There are still some good real estate values available on a case-by-case basis, but overall prices are slowly increasing. Good values sell quickly while overpriced properties can stay on the market for years.

The inventory of listed homes in the greater Pensacola and Destin markets in a "seller's market." The current inventory of available homes and condos for sale is the lowest it has been the last eleven years, since 2005.

The number of months inventory is a good indicator of the current real estate market condition, that is, is it a buyer's, seller's, or neutral real estate market. Under four months is considered to be a seller's market. The May number of months inventory is 2.1 months, this is very low. This is the number of months it would take to sell the current inventory of real estate listings.

The chart above provides information regarding how long homes take to sell on average; this measurement is referred to as "number of days on the market". The smaller the number means homes are selling quickly. The days on the market for May 2020 is at 48 days, this is very low for the Pensacola market as the chart above illustrates. This is record low territory for days on the market.
