Realtors Celebrate Hot Market as Bubble Fears Loom | Feb. 12, 2016 | Gainesville Sun
At the 7th Annual Real Estate Forum, local professionals discussed a steady improvement in residential real estate, with concerns about possible bubbles in new home construction and apartment investments. The residential market is currently a seller’s market, especially for homes priced up to $400,000. There’s a shortage of quality homes, pushing prices higher.
Commercial real estate has improved from its low point but remains stagnant, with demand outpacing supply, particularly in the office market. Concerns were raised about rising construction costs and regulatory hurdles in Gainesville, particularly tree mitigation fees. Despite these challenges, optimism remains for the local real estate market.

Ann and her husband, expecting a baby, accepted unfavorable loan terms to buy a home in 2006. When the housing market crashed, they found themselves underwater and struggled to make payments. Despite reaching out to their bank, they received no help because they weren’t behind on payments. Following advice, they stopped paying and eventually completed a short sale for $97,000 on a $185,000 loan.
Strategic short sales, where homeowners default to unload negative equity, are increasingly common. Real estate experts advise seeking legal counsel, as banks may accept short sales to avoid foreclosure losses. Betsy Pepine of Pepine Realty noted that banks prefer short sales to avoid the higher losses associated with foreclosures.
