Zillow jumped into the direct home buying space in 2018. The company joined a number of ibuying startups like Opendoor and Offerpad. But recently, the company announced it would shutter its Zillow Offers direct home buying division.
Buying and selling homes directly certainly seemed like a smart play for the company. Zillow has strong awareness among consumers, and a trove of homes sales data gleaned from public records, Multiple Listing Services (MLSs) and user-submitted information. These data are what make up the company’s ubiquitous Zestimates, its proprietary automated home valuation model. We can only assume these Zestimates were the primary data point being used when the company made an offer to purchase a home.
Sounds like a slam dunk for Zillow. So what went wrong? A couple of assumptions:
[Read more…]Tight inventory. Higher prices. Seller’s market. We hear these terms thrown around a lot when talking about the real estate market of late. But what does it really mean, at the local level in Nocatee? And what do the numbers actually say?
Let’s take a look:
Tight Inventory
Since this time last year, inventory has dropped approximately 90% on the Duval County side of Nocatee, nearly 81% on the north side of Nocatee, and 84% on the south side.
Similarly, we see a reduction in the number of new listings hitting the market. New listings are down more than 53% on the Duval side, nearly 55% in the north and nearly 38% in the south.
As for the number of closed sales, those are down 50% in Duval, nearly 70% on the north side and nearly 50% on the south side.
Pricing
When it comes to pricing, the median sale price is actually down 1.5% on the Duval side, but up nearly 42% in the north and up nearly 16% in the south.
Lastly, if we look at median percent of list price received, we see some sales coming in at asking price or more (though keep in mind there are some new construction numbers in here that may skew the data one way or the other).
Fortunately, new Nocatee communities are coming online in the next year or so, but for the time being, it looks as if the market will continue to be competitive.

Recently released housing statistics from the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors show an increasingly lopsided market with low inventory, strong demand and, in some instances, prices being bid up over asking.
With November’s numbers just recently updated, let’s take a look at some key stats…
Clearly, demand is strong, but inventory is low. The number of homes listed for sale in the area has been decreasing all year, with a drop of more than 44% over the same time last year.
