15 year look at the St Croix Real Estate Market for the 12 month period ending 30 June
St Croix real estate market recovers
The last real estate boom on St Croix was 16 years ago –
The July 2005 / June 2006 period
Total number of properties sold

· Condominiums – During the past 12 months, the third highest number of condominiums were sold on St Croix (123) for this entire 15 period, exceeded only by July 2016 to June 2017 (142 condo sales) and July 2018 to June 2019 (139 condo sales). This level of sales is likely to decline; current inventory level is only 78 active and pending condominiums.
· Land – Number of lots sold (184) during the past 12 months is the highest level of sales since the July 2007 to June 2008 period. In this category there is plenty of inventory remaining, with 359 active lot listings and 91 pending lot sales.

· Condominiums – The past 12 months sales ($34.1 million) represent the highest total market of the entire 15 years period.
· Land – The total land market ($19.8 million) is more than double the previous period; July 2019 to June 2020 with $8.5 total land sales.

Inventory levels by price range reflect the seller’s expectations.
The attached graphs compare changes in asking prices over the past decade, using 15 May inventory levels.
Residential
· The lowest price range (under $200,000) accounted for about one third of the St Croix residential inventory from 2014 through 2018. This segment now represents only 16% of inventory. 22% of home sales on St Croix over the past 12 months were for $200,000 or less; 16% of inventory accounted for 22% of all sales.
· The second tier ($200,000 to $400,000) consistently comprised one third of all homes for sale on St Croix over the previous 10 year period. This segment is now about one fifth of the inventory. 26% of St Croix home sales over the past 12 months were between $200,000 and $400,000; 21% of inventory accounted for 26% of sales.
· Homes listed for more than $400,000 account for 63% of the inventory, about 7% higher than 10 years ago. During the past 12 months, this price range accounted for 52% of all homes sold.
· Homes listed for more than $1,000,000 increased to 26% of the inventory (51 homes). During the past 12 months, this price range accounted for 13% (25 homes) of the total 196 homes sold. A significant change in the St Croix real estate market!

· The second tier ($100,000 to $200,000) has consistently included between one-third and one-half the inventory until 2019. In May 2021 this segment was 23% (about ¼) of total condominium inventory.

Land
· The lowest price range (under $50,000) decreased 4%, compared to 10 years ago, from 23% to 19% of total inventory. In May 2017, this price range accounted for 45% of the land inventory.
