UNEMPLOYMENT
USA UNEMPLOYMENT RATE
Adam's Insight: SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT IS STILL IMPROVEMENT
The United States unemployment rate has been improving. Every month the unemployment has slowly been improving. A 0.2% improvement is still improvement. The United States has finally cut the original COVID-19 unemployment number in half.

Adam's Insight: Even the junk is selling!!
The home sales increased by 25.3% in Brevard County over February 2021 and 13.3% over March 2020. The combination of low interest rates, elections and the pandemic with the addition of a low inventory has created a buying frenzy. Even though homes are more expensive than a year ago, many mortgages are still cheaper.

Adam's Insight: Cocoa Sales are Off The Charts
The City of Cocoa home sales have increased by 21% when compared to March 2020 Sales. It is impossible to know how long prices will soar, but now is a good time to sell. It isn't an awful time to buy either will low interest rates.

Adam's Insight: AGAIN, Is the title, "Fewer than the month before...AGAIN" getting a little old?
Every month the number of listings is fewer than the month before. In March 1,539 homes sold, yet there were only 1,521 new listings. Every month there are more sales then listings, soon home values will sky rocket, which we will soon see in April and May. Maxfield Homes Solutions is selling homes at top dollar, and helping buyers find their dream homes (the later has been difficult but possible).

Adam's Insight: Fewer and fewer
The City of Cocoa had fewer homes available than the previous month and this trend will continue until a market variable changes. Current market variables that are causing the trend are: the CDC Foreclosure Moratorium, low interest rates, pandemic lifestyle changes and career relocations.
ABSORPTION RATE
The absorption rate is a measurement of how long the current inventory of properties would last at the current rate of sales. For example, in 2008 (a buyers market) the rate reach 23.45. This means that the rate of sales in August of 2008, there were 23 months of home inventory on market. In September of 2020, the absorption rate of 1.93 (sellers market) means that there are very few options for buyers and only two months of inventory available.

March 2021 1.16
Adam's Insight: The Absorption Rate Continues to Drop
Absorption rate is a hard metric to understand and often difficult to communicate what a 1.16 means to the real estate market. This low absorption rate means that home values are increasing and if you want to buy a home you need to be preapproved and ready to offer the best package.

Adam's Insight: The Pickings are Few and Far In-Between.
The City of Cocoa offers homes of all types, shapes and sizes. Even with a diverse market place, the City of Cocoa can not keep up with demand. A 1.05 is the lowest absorption rate in the recorded history that I can find.
