Key West Real Estate - Inventory Down, Prices Stabalizing

Trends in Key West’s real estate market reflect a different climate for buyers and sellers than in the recent past. Today, there are only 518 active properties for sale when there were more than 1100 active listings.

Why the big reduction in inventory? The short answer: properties are selling, and prices are stabilizing. July 2010 saw a 17% increase in the median sale price compared to July 2009.

Read the full real estate market report for Key West.

The Rudy Molinet team at Marquis Properties Realty has placed nearly $20 million (transaction sides ) under contract from January through August 2010, almost matching our total for 2009. “We are excited to see this upward trend,” says Broker Rudy Molinet. “ My partner Harry Hoehn and I have sold more Key West Real Estate this year than any other of the nearly 400 active Key West Realtors.”

People always ask Molinet the secret to his agency’s success.

"It’s pretty simple, Molinet says: price listings to sell! We work with buyers by providing them with market information to support the listing price. And we follow up with our marketing expertise – along with hours of hard work, aggressive advertising and an enhanced presence on the internet."

Truman's Little White House On Video

Anyone in love with Key West's beautiful historic homes has probably visited the Little White House. But if you aren't lucky enough to have traveled to Key West, this video will give you an inside look at Harry Truman's beloved retreat.

The Little White House was built in 1890 on the waterfront as a duplex to house the base commander and paymaster - and served in the Spanish American war as command headquarters. The house is no longer waterfront, though as the harbor was dredged in 1909 to accommodate the Navy’s larger fleet. In 1911 it was converted to a single family dwelling.

In addition to its most famous resident, Harry S Truman, it was a home for
Scientist Edward Hayden, who served as base commander from 1912 to 1915 and was involved in hurricane research. Later, inventor Thomas Edison resided in the historic home for six months in 1981 while developing new weapons for the war effort.

More on the history of the Little White House.
