The Keys are reopening... Here's what to expect!

BY APRIL RUBIN

WHAT PRECAUTIONS WILL BE IN PLACE?

Monroe County requires masks in public. They should be worn while inside a business, working in public, on public transportation and when around people besides immediate family. They can be taken off while eating in restaurants, in personal vehicles and during distanced outdoor activities.

Airplane travelers who come through Key West International Airport from highly affected COVID-19 areas will be screened.
 

WHERE CAN VISITORS STAY?

Hotels, motels and vacation rentals will reopen Monday, June 1, according to Monroe County guidelines for property owners, with 50% occupancy recommendations. Guests and employees must follow CDC guidelines, and face-to-face interactions such as check-in and check-out will be limited.

Short-term vacation and rental reservations are open to visitors from areas that have COVID-19 case rates less than 700 cases per 100 thousand residents. Visitors from hot spot areas are to be avoided for about a month. International travelers cannot make reservations.

The Lodging Association of the Florida Keys and Key West can be reached at 305-296-4959 and executiveoffice@keyslodging.org to find out which hotels are open.
 

WHAT ARE THE DINING OPTIONS?

Florida Keys restaurants can operate at 50% capacity indoors. Outdoor capacity will not be limited, but tables must be six feet apart and seat no more than 10 people. Restaurants have been open to locals since May 4.

Here are the Numbers

 Deep Dive into Market Stats over the Past Month

We're monitoring the real estate trends closely to keep you ahread of the market and in the know. That's #Goodtoknow.

 

Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist at the National Association of REALTORS said this week “The temporary softening of the real estate market will likely be followed by a strong rebound once the economic ‘quarantine’ is lifted, and it’s critical that supply is sufficient to meet pent-up demand.”

Comparing May 2020 to May 2019:

In the Florida Keys we sold 155 residential properties compared to 253 last year.  The Average sale price was up $101,372 year over year.  We saw 173 fewer new listings this month compared to 2019.  That is good news if you are a Seller.

The largest change we have been monitoring closely is the number of properties to go under contract.  Last May we had 268 properties compared to only 61 this year.

One statistic we are monitoring closely is the number of contracts to cancel and walk away for any reason- 67 properties have come back on the market this year compared to 63 last year.

Mortgage Rates Hit Record Low – Third Time this Year

*Article provided by Florida Realtors®

At 3.15%, the median 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage set another record. It’s down from last week’s 3.24% and the lowest since Freddie Mac started tracking in 1971.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Long-term U.S. mortgage rates fell this week as the key 30-year home loan marked an all-time low for the third time in the last few months since the coronavirus outbreak took hold.

Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reported Thursday that the average rate on the 30-year loan tumbled to 3.15% from 3.24% last week. It was the lowest level since Freddie started tracking rates in 1971. A year ago, the rate stood at 3.99%.

The average rate on the 15-year fixed-rate mortgage declined to 2.62% from 2.70% last week.

Spurred by the fall in borrowing rates, demand for home purchases by prospective buyers has rebounded from a decline of 35% in mid-April to an 8% increase as of last week, Freddie economists noted.

Sales of existing homes plunged 17.8% in April, the slowest pace since 2011, reflecting the economic damage from the virus that shut down wide swaths of business and social life. The normally busy spring homebuying season has been upended. At the same time, home prices have been rising.

Bleak economic data, meanwhile, continues to pour in. A government report Thursday showed that the U.S. economy shrank at an even faster pace in the first three months of the year than initially estimated. Economists expect a far worse outcome in the current April-June quarter.

The government also reported that 41 million Americans have applied for unemployment benefits since the outbreak intensified in March, though not all are still unemployed. An estimated 2.1 million filed for benefits last week despite the gradual reopening of businesses around the country.

In a glimmer of hope, the overall number of people currently drawing jobless benefits fell for the first time since the crisis began, from 25 million to 21 million, suggesting that some companies are starting to rehire.
