the Pines and Windemere

Located adjacent to the new Jensen Beach High School, and Felix A. Williams elementary school, among Martin County’s best schools, is only one reason why September 2016 Market Update for the Pines and Windemere in Jensen Beach is so desirable.

Jensen Beach High School

Some residents have stated “sending our children to Felix A. Williams is like having a private school in our own back yard.”  And as far as Jensen Beach High School: “Our Kids can walk to the new High School”.

In addition to the best schools, The Pines is located just a little over 2 miles from the beautiful unspoiled beaches of Hutchinson Island, a fantastic public golf course (Eagle Marsh) is right next door, a regional park that offers little league and soccer and many family attractions.  “we can play golf without the high cost just next door.”

the Pines and Windemere

For others, the best shops of the Treasure Coast Mall with a new 13-plex theater are walking distance and grocery stores are located nearby.

World famous fishing is just a ride away. Stuart is known as the “Sailfish capital of the world.”

the Pines and Windemere

Adjacent to the Pines, is the smaller community of Windemere and the Preserves.  D.R. Horton has recently completed building brand new homes in both the Pines and Windemere subdivisions at some very affordable prices.

Neither the Pines or Windemere offer the amenities of a community pool or clubhouse which keeps the HOA fees quite low at $55.00 and $60.00 a month respectively.

 the Pines and Windemere

When these developments were planned the original intent was to combine the two for ease of access.  However the County decided to nix these plans as they felt that out of area residents would use Windemere Drive as a shortcut between US-1 and Jensen Beach and making a lot of congestion in this community.

July 2016 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes

July 2016 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes

The July 2016 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes continues to show reduced sales volume when compared to last years figures, yet this is still a very active market.  Closed sales were down by 9.5% (was down by 10.0% in June). New pending sales decreased by 22.3% as compared to July of 2015 (Decreased by 17.5% in June).

Both median and average sales prices continue with strong gains.  The median sales price was up by 6.1% from last year (up by 15.9% in June) while the average price increased by 13.8% (was up by 9.2% last month).  If inventory levels continue to increase and sales volume continues to decrease I expect the rate of price appreciation to decrease.

The inventory of available single family homes decreased from last month by 1 homes to 987 units for July,  this is 8.5% greater than last July.  Current supply of homes is 4.9 months, for July of last year it was a 4.3 months supply. (This is a 14.0% increase from last year).  Still a sellers market for Martin County single family home sales.  A balanced market favoring neither buyers or sellers is considered to be one with a 6 to 7 month supply of inventory.

July 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

The July 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos showed continued weaker activity compared to last year.   Closed sales were down by 11.5% as compared to last months decrease of 2.6% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 11.3% (In June there was a 7.6% decrease).

Prices have continued to rise, though for July this rate has slowed appreciably.  Median sales prices were up by 6.8% (was up by 8.6% in June), while the average sales price increased only by 0.4% (was down 3.1% in June).  With the increase in inventory, these price rises will continue to moderate and possibly even decrease slightly.

The inventory increased by 7.6% from July of last year.  For July 2016 we have 5.9 months of inventory (was 6.0 months in June) and compared to 5.3 for July 2015.  We are currently in a very slight sellers 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.

July 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

08.31.16 by

July 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

The July 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes had a reduced volume of sales when compared to last July, while prices continue to rise.  Closed sales were down by 8.0% (was up by 0.4% in June) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) were down by 9.6% (was down by 7.7% in June).

Both median and average sales prices continue to rise ( July 2015 to July 2016) by 11.6% and 8.0% respectively, compared to June’s 10.8% and 6.8%.  If the reduced volume of sales continue, I expect that these price rises will moderate considerably and possibly even retreat by next year at this time.

The inventory of available homes for sale fell by 3.3% from last year.  This is another trend that I think may reverse in the near future as more homes may come on the market while fewer sell.  For July there was only a 4.3 months supply of inventory as Florida remains in a sellers market with the advantage for sellers. (July of 2015 had a 4.4 month supply)  A balanced market favoring neither buyers or sellers is considered to be one with a 6 to 7 month supply of inventory.

The July 2015 numbers were: 3 active listings, 6 pending sales and 1 closed sales.  Very similar numbers to last year with better closed sales for 2016..

June 2016 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos

June 2016 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos is giving us some mixed signals with closed sales off from last year but a very strong month for new pending sales..  Closed sales were down by 5.0% (was down by 5.1% in May) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) were up by 39.1% from June 2014 (decreased by 5.4% in May).

Another month of mixed signals with prices as the median sales price increased by 5.7% (was down by 0.4% in May) while the average sales price decreased by 5.4% (was up by 6.7% in May) as compared to June of 2015.  I’ve been predicting some sort of moderation in the rate of price increases and this appears to have happened.

The inventory of available townhouses and condos decreased by 36 units to 381 properties as compared to last month.  The first monthly decline after two months of increases. This is 1.0% below the June 2015 inventory.  Currently, there’s a 3.9 month supply of inventory (an 8.3% increase from last year).  Still in a strong sellers market for townhouses and condos in Martin County.

The June 2016 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes showed a marked decrease from lasy years activity, yet still a strong and active market.  Closed sales were down by 10.0% (was down by 2.8% in May).

Prices, however, continued their rise as the median sales price was up by 15.9% from last year (up by 15.8% in May) while the average price increased by 9.2% (was down by 3% last month).  I expect that prices will moderate to a much smaller rate of increase in the coming year.

The inventory of available single family homes decreased from last month by 66 homes to 988 units for this month,  this is 8.8% greater than last June.  Current supply of homes is 4.9 months, for June of last year it was a 4.4 months supply.

June 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

The June 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos showed weaker activity when compared to 1 year ago.  Prices may have climbed a bit to fast for this segment of the Florida real estate market.  Closed sales were down by 2.6% as compared to last months increase of 0.1% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 7.6% (In May there was a 4.6% decrease).  Inventory of available condos and townhouses continues to rise as well which should put pressure on prices to either decline or at least moderate.

Though the June prices continued to rise with the median sales price up by 8.6% (was up by 4.4% in May), while the average sales price increased by 3.1% (was down 1.3% in May).  If prices continue to stay somewhat stable or even decrease slightly, I expect the volume of sales to increase.

The inventory increased by 7.9% from June of last year.  For June 2016 we have 6.0 months of inventory (was 6.1 months in May) and compared to 5.5 for June 2015.  We are currently in a balanced market for Florida townhouse and condo sales.

June 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

The June 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes continues to be a strong market but activity is easing a bit from previous months.  Closed sales were up by 0.4% (was up by 4.5% in May) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) were down by 7.7% (was down by 2.7% in May).

Both median and average sales prices continue to rise ( June 2015 to June 2016) by 10.8% and 6.8% respectively, compared to May’s 10.5% and 4.2%.  These strong price gains will end up having an impact on future activity as many homes are now becoming much too pricey for the average buyer.

The inventory of available homes for sale fell by 2.8% from last year.  Higher demand areas of Florida have seen decreasing inventory for more than three years now.  For June there was only a 4.3 months supply of inventory as Florida remains in a sellers market with the advantage for sellers. (June of 2015 had a 4.6 month supply)  A balanced market favoring neither buyers or sellers is considered to be one with a 6 to 7 month supply of inventory.

Hobe Sound FL 33455 Condo Market Report June 2016

The Hobe Sound condo market (Zip Code 33455) is the smallest segment of the Martin County real estate market.  Inventory levels are at all time lows and it is quite remarkable that there is as much activity as there is in this small segment of the Martin County real estate market.

For June, 2016 the absorption rate is 1.3 months which is what it was back in April (with no sales reported in May, there was no absorption rate for that month).  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 June 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 June 2015 numbers were: 9 active listings, 2 pending sales and 6 closed sales.  Better closed activity for last year, but this was with over twice as many active condos for sale.  Inventory, or lack of, is playing a major obstacle in the Hobe Sound condo market.
