April 2013 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes

Another excellent month as reported by Florida Realtors for the April 2013 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes.   Year to year closed sales were up by 28.9% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 47.3%

Both the median and average sales prices have risen year over year by 23.5% and 32% respectively.

The inventory of available single family homes have decreased to 1216 units which id down by 29.1% from last April.  Current supply of inventory is only 7.2 months (a 41.5% decrease from last year).   If this trend continues (and we see no reason to doubt it) we will soon be in a balanced market for the single family real estate market in Martin County.  There’s no reason not to expect a sellers market should the inventory continue to decrease.April 2013 Market Detail Martin County Single Family

April 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

Some very positive results reported by Florida Realtors for the April 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos for the entire state of Florida.  All indices have moved in a positive direction though similar to the single family report for April 2013.  Year to year closed sales were up by 13.6% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 22.7%.

Both median and average sales prices were up (April 2012 to April 2013) by 16.4% and 12.3% respectively. 

One item of concern is the active inventory which has decreased by almost 20.6%.  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.Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos April 2013

[singlepic id=3553 w=600 h=600 float=center]

[singlepic id=3554 w=600 h=600 float=center]

 
For the Palm City, zip code 34990, area of Martin County Florida the residential market activity showed strong results for April.  Closed sales increased again and remained quite strong.  Pending sales also increased and show good potential for future closed sales.  The inventory continues to decline and this may be a troubling statistic in the future as fewer homes are available for sale.
 

The current absorption rate stands at 5 months.   The Palm City residential real estate market has slipped into a sellers market.  A 6 month absorption rate is typically considered a balanced market that doesn’t favor either sellers or buyers.

The April 2012 numbers were:  462 active listings, 228 pending sales and 49 closed sales.  Our closed sales for this year remain considerably better than last year.  This is especially noteworthy with the reduced amount of available homes for sale.  Pending sales are lower this year and the inventory may very well be one of the factors for this lower number.

The 34994 ZIP code area of the Stuart, Florida real estate market showed a marked increase in closed sales for April.  At the same time, pending activity remained strong (unchanged from last month) and the inventory decreased by two homes.  We should continue to have strong closed sales in the coming months, but if inventory doesn’t increase, we will be looking at a challenging market as there just aren’t enough homes available for sale.

The one month absorption rate for the 34994 zip code for April dropped to 7.2 months. which signifies a slight buyers market.  A 6 month absorption rate is considered a balanced market where neither the seller nor buyer have an advantage.

The April 2012 numbers were 79 Active Listings, 40 pending sales and 5 closed sales.  Considering the lower inventory this year as compared to last, market activity remains strong for the 34994 zip code area of Stuart for residential home market.

The inventory of available townhouses and condos have decreased to 687 units which id down by 20.6% from last March.  Current supply of inventory is only 7.5 months (a 30.6% decrease from last year).  For the Martin County townhouse and condo market, these results are very similar to our single family home market as both segments rapidly approach a balanced market that favors neither the buyer nor seller.

Prices have remained under considerable pressure and have not improved as well as the single family market with the median price off by 10.2% from last year while the average price gained a modest 5.7%.

The inventory of available townhouses and condos have decreased to 967 units which id down by 22% from last March.  Current supply of inventory is only 9.6 months (a 38.9% 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.St. Lucie County Townhouses and Condos

March 2013 Monthly Market Detail St. Lucie County Single Family Homes

Some very positive results reported by Florida Realtors for the March 2013 Monthly Market Detail St. Lucie County Single Family Homes.   Year to year closed sales were up by 11.8% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by over 69%!!

Both median and average sales prices were up (march 2012 to March 2013) by 18% and 15% respectively. 

One item of concern is the active inventory which has decreased by almost half (47%).  Current supply of inventory is only 4.2 months (a 56% decrease from last year).  For March 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 will expect a gradual increase in inventory.
