The St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos Market Detail for April 2017 showed weaker sales activity when compared to last April.  Closed sales were down by 11.2% from last year (were up by 16.1% in March) while new pending sales decreased by 10.0% (was down by 11.2% in March).

Values, however, continue to rise at surprising rates with the median price up by 35.0% (was up by 28.0% in March) while the average sales price increased by 19.6% (was up by 13.3% in March).  I’ve been expecting prices to moderate for some time so these increases continue to be quite unexpected.

The current supply is 6.0 months, which is 7.7% lower than the 6.5 months of inventory last year.  The St Lucie County townhouses and condos market remains in a balanced.
