For the summer season in the Stuart Condo market for zip code 34994 both pending and closed sales were down again for October.   The inventory grew for a second month in a row by 2 condos.  Not unexpected results as the condo market in Martin County is very seasonably dependent, though other segments of the Stuart condo market have had better activity.  We are now awaiting the ‘snowbirds’ to return and to see how they feel about buying in our market.

The one month absorption rate rose to 8.6 months compared to last months 7.9.  Back into a more pronounced buyer’s market.  Typically a real estate market is considered to be a balanced market with an absorption rate of 6 months.  Meaning neither the buyers or sellers have an advantage in the real estate market.

Last October the numbers were 143 active listings, 45 pending sales, and 13 closed sales.   When the reduced inventory is accounted for, the real estate market for condos in the 34994 zip code area of Stuart is still out-performing October 2012 activity.

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for September 2013

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.

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 Single Family Homes

The September 2013 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Single Family Homes as reported by Florida Realtors continues the positive trend that has been apparent all this year, though at a more moderate rate for the past few months.   Closed sales were up by 4.1%  (in August they were up by 3.5%)  and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 12% (they were up by 17.8% last month).

Both median and average sales prices were up (year to year) by 14.2% and 15% respectively year to year. 

The inventory of active listings rose in September (from last month) to 1947 homes, still down by 24.1% from last year.  Current supply of inventory is only 4.5 months (a 33.6% decrease from last year) and unchanged from August.  For September 2013 this remains a strong sellers market in the St Lucie County area.  Lower inventory typically results in lower sales volume as there just isn’t enough homes available for sale.  This will also result in strong upward pressure on prices and at some point renewed activity in new construction.  Prices have been rising because of the shortage of inventory and the slow recovery of the market.September 2013 Market Detail for  Saint Lucie County Single Family
