There are currently 59 active condo listings. (Up by 4 condos from September)

6 Condo sales are pending and awaiting close or lender approval. (Decreased by 2 condos from last month)

4 Condos Sold in October. (Down by 1 condo from September)

The 34990 zip code area of Palm City condo market is a fairly small section of this area as most property in Palm City is either single family homes or town homes. Thus making meaningful market comparisons somewhat difficult as small changes can have a great effect on the percentages and results. The October market activity showed the second month in a row of increased inventory, though unfortunately both pending and closed sales were off.

The current absorption rate for condos in the 34990 zip code area is 14.8 months (was 11 months in September), signifying a buyers market. A balanced market is considered to be an absorption rate of around 6 months.

The October 2012 numbers were: 59 active listings, 9 pending sales and 4 closed sales. Almost identical to 2012 activity with fewer pending sales this year.

144 Residential sales are pending and awaiting close or lender approval. (Decreased by 3 homes from last month)

54 Homes Sold in October (Increased by 6 homes from September)

After some disappointing sales numbers for September for the Palm City, zip code 34990, area of Martin County Florida, there was a rebound for October.. Also, the second month in a row with sizable gain in inventory. Pending sales were off slightly. Most interesting is the increase in inventory.

The current absorption rate dropped slightly to to 7.7 months from 7.9 months in September, but is at a much more sustainable rate than the hot sellers market we had in Palm City during the spring and early summer. A slight buyers market. A 6 month absorption rate is typically considered a balanced market that doesn’t favor either sellers or buyers. I don’t expect a buyers market to last, as I think sales will be picking up soon in Palm City once again.

The October 2012 numbers were: 420 active listings, 150 pending sales and 49 closed sales. Very similar activity to last year.

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for September 2013

11.07.13 by Gabe Sanders

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for September 2013

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Condo Market for September 2013 showed better numbers than in previous years on a year to year comparison. Still a bit slower than we would like. Inventory increased this month to 532 units (Inventory has been up and down the past few months with no real trend at this time). It was back in 2005 when we had steady inventory levels below 600 units. The median sales price increased in September and continues to be well above last year’s values. Much of the median price results are driven by the mix of units selling. Currently, prices on average appear to be holding steady with different communities showing some small gains (as well as some losses) depending on the individual community.

The one month absorption rate increased to 10.04 months from last months 9.46 months, while the three-month average is now at 9.45 months. We’ve slipped back into a buyers market for martin County condos. Generally an absorption rate of 6 or 7 months is considered a balanced market.

Higher interest rates remain troubling for the market in general, but is not as strong an issue for our condo market as we have a fairly high percentage of cash buyers. If the economy continues it’s improvement, I expect another good season for the condo market in Martin County for the upcoming season.

The Definition of Absorption Rate:
Number of months it takes to sell the current inventory at the present rate of sales. Knowing your area’s Absorption Rate, helps to track trends. Understanding the market and where it is headed is part of our job as real estate professionals. Absorption rate is NOT an exact science. Figuring it is based on the premise that one will be looking for a TREND. It is advised to consistently do the numbers each month, to be able to track a trend.

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for September 2013

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Residential Market for September 2013 continues to produce better results as compared to recent years. For September 2013, the inventory rose for the second month in a row signifying that some pent up seller demand is now once again re-entering the market as prices have started to increase. Though for September both median and average prices slid some, but this was more an indication of lower priced homes dominating sales for the previous month.

The one month absorption rate for September 2013 increased to 5.99 months (from 5.11 months in August), and the three-month average is now 5.4 months. A 6 month absorption rate is considered to be a balanced market, so we continue to be in a sellers market in Martin County. Considering the fact that we have entered our slower season, we continue to have better activity as compared to previous years.

Our overall market remains quite healthy as compared to previous years since the ‘bubble’. The unknowns for the future remain our economy for the nation as a whole.

September 2013 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos

The September 2013 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos as reported by Florida Realtors showed an unexpected drop from last years numbers. Year to year closed sales were down by 28.6% (was down by4% in August) while new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 18% (was up by 4.9% in August

Prices continued to rise however, year to year, with the median sales price up by 12.6% (up 69.4% in August) and the average sales price rose by 14.6% (was up by 38.2% in August).

The inventory of available townhouses and condos decreased from last month to 785 units which is a decrease of 18.1% from last September. Current supply of inventory is now 7.9 months (a 22.9% decrease from last year). This is the only segment of the Treasure Coast real estate market to show a decrease of closed sales (year to year). The townhouse and condo markets are much more seasonally affected as more buyers in this segment tend to be ‘snowbirds’ and we may continue with weak results for the next few months.
