August 2013 Market Update for The Pines and Windemere in Jensen Beach

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for June 2013

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for June 2013

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Condo Market for June 2013 was strong, though it retreated considerably from the excellent April numbers.   85 condos sold in June (compared to 128 in April).   Better numbers, year to year, but not excellent.  The inventory of available condos dropped again (fifth month in a row) to only 544 condos.  This low number is beginning to effect prices and at long last it appears that condo prices are starting to rise.   The median sales price was down compared to April, but this is a reflection of the larger number of lower priced condos that sold this month, rather than decreasing value.  Summer is upon us and typically the condo market slows down during the summer months.

The one month absorption rate increased to 6.4 months from last months 4.46 months, while the three-month average is now at 5.71 months.  Basically a balanced market for the time being.  Generally an absorption rate of 6 or 7 months is considered a balanced market.

The low inventory rates and rising interest rates are troubling and could possibly have a negative effect on the condo market recovery.

 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 June 2013

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for June 2013

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Residential Market for June 2013 continues to outpace recent years with continued strong sales activity.   For June, we had a slight rise in inventory (to 1,015 units) which is a positive sign as we need inventory for this market to continue to improve.  Closed sales increased from May and were also considerably better than last June’s numbers.  All signs of a good healthy recovery.

Both median and average sales prices rose in June and are much improved over last year’s prices as indicated in the graphs below.  The one month absorption rate for June 2013 decreased slightly to 4.72 months (from 4.74 months in May), and the three-month average stands at 4.66 months.  A 6 month absorption rate is considered to be a balanced market, so we are officially in a a sellers market in Martin County.  As late summer and fall approaches, we typically can expect a small decline in activity.

It appears that there is some improvement in the economy that is leading to a more positive outlook in consumer confidence.  While there is still much room for improvement, we are currently trending in the right direction.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any difficulty interpreting these charts.

June 2013 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos

The June 2013 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos as reported by Florida Realtors showed a little weakness.   Year to year closed sales were off by17% after last months rise of 12.5% while new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 9.4% (was 43.4% in May

The inventory of available townhouses and condos have decreased to 775 units which is a decrease of 30.8% from last June.  Current supply of inventory is now 7.6 months (a 41.8% decrease from last year).   While these results are not quite as strong as in the single family market, they still show strong gains from previous years.  It is just a matter of time before prices start rising a bit more dramatically.  This current environment is an excellent opportunity for buyers looking into the Saint Lucie County real estate market for townhouses and condos.

June 2013 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Single Family Homes

June 2013 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Single Family Homes

Continuing a mostly positive trend for the June 2013 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Single Family Homes as reported by Florida Realtors.   The only negative detail was the year to year closed sales, which were down by 0.4% and while new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 42.6%!!

Both median and average sales prices were up (June 2012 to June 2013) by 23.3% and 16.6% respectively. 

One item of concern is the active inventory which continues to decrease significantly, presently only 1,664 homes, a decrease of 43.8% from last year.  Current supply of inventory is only 3.9 months (a 52.7% decrease from last year).  For June 2013 it was a strong sellers market in the St Lucie County area.  The reduced inventory will eventually result 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.  If prices rise to a level where currently underwater home owners can see a profit or even a break even price, I  expect to see a gradual increase in inventory.

June 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

Another positive month of results reported by Florida Realtors for the June 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes for the entire state of Florida.  All indices have moved in a positive direction though at a more modest pace than for the past few months.  Year to year closed sales were up by 8.6% (was 18.7% in May) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 23.1% (was 30.8% in May).

Both median and average sales prices were up (June 2012 to June 2013) by 15.1% and 14.2% respectively. 

The inventory of available homes for sale remains a concern as it continues to decrease, down by 22% from last year.  The reduced inventory will eventually result 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.  If prices rise to a level where currently underwater home owners can see a profit or even a break even price, I will expect a gradual increase in inventory.
