Bobbin Trace, Bobbin Mill Woods, and Bobbin Brook (collectively the Bobbin neighborhoods) enjoyed strong house sales in 2015.2015 actually ranks as the best in the past ten years (based upon the number of houses that have sold), and the level of house sales is consistent with the number that sold during the strongest years of 1998 though 2005). In other words, houses sold at a high rate in 2015 in the Bobbins.But unlike other neighborhoods that posted strong sales, it appears as if the run has stopped cold right now for the Bobbins. Eight houses remain listed for sale, yet none of them are under contract. This is definitely contrary to what other highly active neighborhoods are showing.You can see it all right here, from the current Bobbin listings in the Tallahassee MLS to all past hou...

The market for high end homes in Tallahassee might be doing much better than many people realize, especially if you consider the impact of rising interest rates. While I have not read anything concrete to suggest mortgage interest rates are ready to rise significantly, the prudent homeowner should consider that it is inevitable that the market will return to historical norms sometime rather soon. What would it mean to people wanting to sell high end homes if mortgage interest rates increased 172% (from 3.2% to 8.7% ... the 50 year average)? The Market For High End Homes When we look at 11 years of sales of high end homes in Tallahassee, it is clear that it is a market that is in serious danger of complete collapse. In the real estate graph above, we see the number of high end homes sold...

Most US housing markets saw a surge in demand for high end homes during the boom of the housing market, and now some markets are finding that there will be no recovery for the majority of these homes. It is my belief that the explosion in the sale of high end homes was fueled by a combination of two significant loan programs created by the banking industry, and these two "game changers" will not be offered again in my lifetime (more on that below). Currently, there are several years worth of supply of high end homes for sale in Tallahassee, and I see no realistic scenario that will allow these homes to appreciate again in the next ten years. This means that patient home buyers who want to buy a high end home in Tallahassee are going to see some incredible opportunities come their way. W...

With only three homes for sale in the Bobbin neighborhoods, Bobbin Brook, Bobbin Trace, and Bobbin Mill Woods are enjoying a healthy real estate market thus far in 2012. Having posted six sales closed thus far in 2012, it would appear as if the relative supply of homes for Bobbin Brook, Bobbin Trace, and Bobbin Mill Woods is at a very healthy level. Of course, we would have to ignore the rest of the luxury homes for sale in Tallahassee (we do not). The real estate graph above shows thus far Bobbin Brook, Bobbin Trace, and Bobbin Mill Woods have not been greatly affected by distressed property sales, but values have fallen significantly due to the glut of luxury homes in Tallahassee.

When I produce Tallahassee neighborhood home sales reports, I most often use information that has comes from the Tallahassee MLS. But often times, when I am researching neighborhoods that do not have many home sales, I then have to go to the Leon County Property Appraiser to get the rest of the sales that have not been recorded in the multiple listing service. This report is one of those “need more information” jobs, so the information contained in the real estate graphs and table below comes from both the Tallahassee MLS as well as Leon County. This is the most thorough analysis of the Bobbin neighborhoods (Bobbin Brook, Bobbin Trace, and Bobbin Mill Woods) that you will find on the internet. The first graph below shows the decline in the number of home sales that Tallahassee has been ...
