January 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

The January 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes is showing a slower growth rate than last year.  Closed sales were up by 2.7% (was up by 2.9% in December) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) were down by 11.3% (was down by 1.4% in December).  The lower number of new pending sales is a bit troubling for future closed sales.

Both median and average sales prices continue to rise ( January 2015 to January 2016) by 13.7% and 6.3% respectively, compared to December’s 11.6% and 7.7%.  Still showing some very healthy price increases.

The inventory of available homes for sale fell by 6.2% from last year.  Some high demand areas of Florida have seen decreasing inventory for a number of months now.  For January there was only a 4.5 months supply of inventory, Florida remains in a sellers market with the advantage for sellers. (January of 2015 had a 5.3 month supply)

Hobe Sound FL 33455 Condo Market Report January 2016

No Condos sold in December (Down 1 condos from December)

The Hobe Sound condo market (Zip Code 33455) is the smallest segment of the Martin County real estate market.  2016 began with a whimper for Hobe Sound condos with no sales.  We did have small improvements in both the inventory and pending sales.

No possible absorption rate number for this month with zero sales, for December of 2015 it was 4 months.  Absorption rates in this segment of the Martin County real estate market should be taken with a liberal grain of salt, as small changes in activity make for very large changes on percentages that may not reflect a true trend in the market. An absorption rate of 6 to 7 months is considered to be a balanced market favoring neither the buyer or seller.

The January 2015 numbers were: 17 active listings, 3 pending sales and 3 closed sales.  Much better activity last year with considerably more inventory to work with.

The numbers for January 2014 were:  249 active listings, 79 pending sales and 46 closed sales. Slightly better numbers for the beginning of last year, but with reduced inventory this year the percentages are actually superior for the current month.

The Palm City FL, zip code 34990, residential real estate market had a strong increase in inventory as well as pending sales to begin the year.  Unfortunately sales were off as compared to last month, but I expect this to be only short term as the increase in the under contract numbers should result in more closed sales for the coming months.
 The current absorption rate increased to to 8.2 months from 6.3 months in December.  Back into a buyers market for the Palm City zip code 34990 area for residential sales.  A 6 to 7 month absorption rate is typically considered a balanced market that doesn’t favor either sellers or buyers.

The January 2015 numbers were:  443 active listings, 158 pending sales and 55 closed sales.  Slightly higher closed sales last year but it was with less inventory.  Pending sales are just about the same even with the lower number of available Palm City homes for sale.

      The Stuart Florida Residential Market for ZIP Code 34997 continues as the largest and the strongest segment of the Martin County single family real estate market.  We have seen an unfortunate continuation of a decrease in inventory which is going to effect future sales unless this trend reverses.
     The current one month absorption rate remained almost the same at 3.4  months (was 5.0 months for December).  Even a stronger sellers market for the 34997 segment of the Stuart residential market for the beginning of 2016.  Typically a balanced market, favoring neither the seller or buyer, is represented by a 6 to 7 month absorption rate.
