www.katrinreal.com / Hello, I’m Katrin 😊. I love helping customers achieve their real estate goals through an insights-driven approach. I am a real estate broker associate with CB in Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, Venice, Bradenton, Parrish, and Palmetto. Sellers: Marketing runs through my veins. Buyers: I have your best interest in mind & use a data-driven approach.
I’ve lived in 3 different countries. 13 years ago, I moved to Sarasota, Florida from NYC. I have experience leading mktg teams in Fortune 500 companies & startups before transitioning into real estate. When I’m not assisting customers, you’ll find me enjoying the outdoors with friends & family. I’m an avid cyclist & world traveler always wanting to learn more.
I’ve lived in Sarasota more than 40 years and I loved it until it was named #1 retirement place and it is destroyed now. Commissioners must be making huge money because there is literally nothing quaint or beautiful looking at building building on top of one another. We fight traffic high rent for nothing . Dead animals on streets ever day. One day y Raccoons in a roll hit by car!
Was curious of your thoughts on some of the older 55+ in Sarasota and Manatee. Places like Glen Oaks and Desoto Square. Both seem to have some big dips in prices.
I lived in Sarasota in early 70's. After Easter the town was like a ghost town. The 80's were pretty much the same, but during the 90's hosing really grew. Got married at the Quat in 2001, but it's now a Ritz Charlton. Move north to Tampa area and now up in Jacksonville. I loved the Sarasota area but its just too expensive now.
@@thesrqrealtor Jacksonville is too spread out. I takes around 45 minutes to drive from South Jacksonville to JAX Airport on the Northside. Tampa Bay was far better, but I do miss Sarasota and the beautiful beaches.
There's a lot of shadow inventory in the Sarasota Metro area. With not being homesteaded to cap property tax increases, rising insurance, HOA's, CDD's Air Conditioner running 24/7 in empty homes off season, people are bailing while they can still cash in with high prices. Many are just having a hard time justifying the rising costs of a second non essential home.
Florida living? No thanks. 6 months out of the year it's unbearable. The idea of being forced to stay indoors or at the beach, with my nuts stuck to my leg is not my idea of fun
The market distortion is only going to get worse. It’s the continual devaluation of the dollar that will enable permanent price increases. The rich will continue to eat up inventory as most average buyers will no longer be able to afford a home. One more storm and most will loose insurance.
I think the condo market is going to drop in price rather severely. The unknown alone will keep people away from condo’s. I have seen HOA’s double plus accessments on top of that.
Mortgage interest will stay flattish until November, unless, civil strife or world Miltary issues occur before November. If politics stay the same after November, interest rates will rise in January '25 to 9% plus and continue.
I have to say that your videos have helped me so much in my decision. I have tried to move there for over two times and it is going to happen this year for real! I do appreciate your video. Can you make a video about the places either high hurricane season please?
Sell NOW!!!! The snowball is starting. My inbox is full of listings like never before. Over pricers will lose out. We are about to hit a 15 to 20 year down market. Dont believe me?? Listen to Meredith Whitney. She predicted the 2008 financial crisis and is calling the housing crisis with facts and figures.
Homeowners insurance issue and fear of natural disaster hitting again is main driver in those areas. Lots of inventory. There are plenty of other places in FL where prices are up though as well. That’s why a local market analysis is important.
I’m surprised the median home sales price isn’t higher because a larger percentage of those buying homes in this poor economy are those with money, thus more expensive homes.
The cost of living is at an all time high and wages haven’t keep up with home prices. History shows there will be a decline in home prices at some point.
Inventory is close to 2019 levels so I don't think there is a shortage anymore. If the median household income can support the area's prices, why would prices come down even if inventory increases?
@@theRetainer If inventory reaches a level where there are more homes on the market vs buyers then prices will come down. I do believe there is pent up demand but lots are on the sidelines once again.
@@thesrqrealtor I agree with you. There is definitely pent up demand. The question is whether that pent up demand is waiting for lower rates or for lower prices. What are your thoughts?
Again what matters is the average size of a "home" not the price as the carrying cost of too large to way too large a house is what causes the panic not the pricing function #manhattan_transfer
people have to make $40-$60 per hour to afford these prices!!!!….i make $31.20 in Lakeland,Florida and i can’t afford a automobile or a place to live…especially after “TAXES”!!!😳😳😳😳😳😳…”gross income” hit different than “net income”
#ModestProfits NOT #GreedyProfitMargins….Is anyone paying attention to local wages Vs. price points?Gross Income Vs. Net Income?……these prices on these homes and apartments/town houses/condos are unsustainable!!!!
…it appears the market is trying to sell peanut butter & spam sandwich for wagu steak prices or trying to sell sterling silver for 24 carat gold prices!!!🙄🙄🙄😳😳😳😌😌😌
