2 Condo Sold (A decrease of 7 condos from October)

Last month’s disappointing results for the Jensen Beach condo market report (ZIP Code 34957) has continued into November.  At least the inventory didn’t increase and there were 2 sales this month as opposed to last month’s 1.   Last year at this time, 3 sales, 24 pending sales and 65 active listings.  In the residential segment (single-family homes) of the market, we’ve seen a marked improvement over the past year.  In the condo market, this hasn’t been the case.

Speculating on the reasons for this could be the current low prices of single-family units.  The difficulty of obtaining financing for condos in this lending environment and the nervousness regarding the economy and future are being felt by the more senior set that tend to go for the condo type of housing.  Condo sales tend to be more active after the holidays and we will hopefully see an increase in activity following the holiday season.
