July 2015 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Single Family Homes
July 2015 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Single Family Homes continues to struggle with the volume of sales in this declining inventory market while at the same time showing continued price increases. Closed sales were up by 7.4% (in June they were down by 7.9%) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 13.4% (they were down by 16.7% last month).
Both median and average sales prices continue strong gains with increases of 20.1% and 17.3% respectively from last July (For June these numbers were 18.6% and 18.9%). These price increases, while good news for sellers, are making single family homes less affordable in the St. Lucie County market area and June be one factor in the reduced volume of closed sales.
The inventory of active listings increased in July (from last month) by 22 homes to 1,594, and this is lower than last year’s inventory by 16.7%. The current supply of inventory is only 3.4 months (a 20.1% decrease from last year). The Saint Lucie County single family home market remains in a very strong sellers market.
