The absorption rate for Hobe Sound condos decreased to 8 months for May (was 3.8 in April).  Back into a buyers’ market for Hobe Sound condos. 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 do 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 May 2016 numbers were: 5 active listings, 7 pending sales and 0 closed sales.  Better activity this year as the inventory has just about tripled.

The Retreat was a finalist in the Communities of Excellence contest in the communications division. Association volunteers under the direction of the Communications Committee utilize a bimonthly newsletter, website, bulletin boards, community television channel, town hall meetings, resident directory, email blasts, and open board meetings with published minutes to get information to and from the residents. The newsletter is particularly popular. The website provides information of a business nature, with a resident showcase for display of artwork.

Palm City FL 34990 Condo Market Report May 2017

The Palm City FL 34990 condo real estate market is a fairly small segment of the Martin County condo market.  Market activity remains pretty slow for Palm City condos and remains a difficult market for sellers.  (Though a good part of this difficulty comes from two equity golf club communities.)

The current absorption rate for condos in the 34990 zip code area jumped to 19 months (was 10.8 months in May).  A strong buyers’ market for Palm City condominiums.  A balanced market is considered to be an absorption rate of around 6 to 7 months.
The May 2016 numbers were: 62 active listings, 13 pending sales and 7 closed sales.   Better volume on lower inventory from last year.
