Bucking the trend from the rest of Martin County, the Hobe Sound real estate market (ZIP Code 33455) had a second month of decreasing inventory and increasing pending sales.  Unfortunately closed sales were down by 50% from 30 units (a strong October) to only 15 last month.

Compared to last November, we had 431 active listings, 51 pending sales and 16 closed sales.  Even with a significant decrease in inventory, sales as well as pending sales remain strong.  In addition, recent sales have tended toward more medium and upper-end price ranges which shows many higher-income buyers coming back into the market.

Provided we don’t see a drastic increase in distressed properties (short sales and bank-owned foreclosures), we should be in line for a good performance from the Hobe Sound real estate market in 2012.
