Florida Townhouses and Condos November 2016 Market Detail

Florida Townhouses and Condos November 2016 Market Detail

The Florida Townhouses and Condos Market Detail for November 2016 showed gains for the month as compared to both the previous year and the previous month.   Closed sales were up by 4.1% as compared to last months decrease of 12.3% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 2.3% (In October there was a 14.5% decrease).

Values, also, continued to increase though at a more moderate pace.  Median sales prices were up by 8% (was up by 8.1% in October), while the average sales price increased by 4.5% (was up 0.5% in October).  As sales activity decreases and if inventory continues to increase, I expect these prices to continue to moderate, though they are staying pretty resilient at this time.

The inventory increased by 13% from November of last year.  For October 2016 we have 6.1 months of inventory (was  5.9 months in October) and compared to 5.4 for November 2015.  We are now in a balanced market for Florida townhouse and condo sales. A balanced market favoring neither buyers or sellers is considered to be one with a 6 to 7 month supply of inventory.

Buying a New Home for a New Year

Buying a New Home for a New Year

New Year

So with the dawn of the New Year you may find yourself wanting to make some major changes in your life; and whether this yearning takes the form of a fanciful New Year’s resolution or an organized certified life plan, these planned changes just might involve the purchase of a new home. If so, then have we got a deal for you….

Sure, as Realtors you would expect us to say that; the fact is though, that this may indeed be the most ideal time to purchase a new home; and for a vast variety of reasons.

1. The housing market is thriving. Showing a vast improvement over previous years, the real estate market is a rife with opportunities—and brimming with beautiful homes—for those interested in buying.

2. The start of a new year happens to be an optimum time for home sales. Many of the people who opt to acquire a new home with the start of the new year must sell their old homes first; and although pre-owned, one of these houses might very well qualify as your ultimate dream home. In addition, people looking to build their own new homes often must sell their old homes first, to accrue the capital needed for this major construction project.

3. If you do indeed wish to make a fresh start with the coming of the new year, then the selection of a new home base or residence just may be integral to these changes. A clean, beautiful new setting can give a person a fresh new perspective on life, helping to signal a very positive turning point throughout the course of that existence.

4. A new job or school arrangement often necessitates the purchase of a new home. If you are starting off the new year with the acquisition of a new job or perhaps enrollment in an institution of higher learning, then these exciting new changes also might necessitate a major geographic move. Or to phrase it another way, you might have to relocate in order to live closer to your new place of business or study. And while you might opt to rent an apartment or dorm, as opposed to making a major home purchase, many people use some of the money earned through newly acquired jobs or scholarships to purchase their own homes.

If you see the purchase of a new home in your future, then make the future now; buy a new home for the new year!

For November 2016 in the 33455 Zip Code area of Hobe Sound, Florida :

There are currently 11 active condo listings. (Up by 5 condos from October)

Hobe Sound FL 33455 Condo Market Report November 2016

4 Condos are pending and awaiting close. (Up by 3 pending condos from October)

Hobe Sound FL 33455 Condo Market Report November 2016

No Condos sold in November. (Decreased by 1 closed sales from October)

The Hobe Sound condo market (Zip Code 33455) is the smallest segment of the Martin County real estate market.  We have finally seen a small increase in inventory as well as pending sales which should show increased activity in future months.

With no sale for November, the absorption rate cannot be determined.  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 November 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 November 2015 numbers were: 4 active listings, 1 pending sales and 1 closed sales.  It’s very difficult to make meaningful comparisons with such low numbers of sales and inventory.
