Stuart FL 34994 Condo Market Report September 2016

The Stuart FL 34994 Condo market continues with strong activity as the summer draws to a close.  This is somewhat unexpected for the condo market in the summer.  Hopefully, this is a good indication of continued strong activity as we head into the fall and winter months.

The absorption rate for September decreased to 5.1 months compared to last month’s 5.6. Continuing as a sellers market for the second month in a row for this condo segment of Stuart’s 34994 zip code area.  This is somewhat surprising as condo sales often slow down during the summer months.  Typically a real estate market is considered to be a balanced market with an absorption rate of 6 to 7 months.  Meaning neither the buyers or sellers have an advantage in the real estate market.

Last September the numbers were 71 active listings, 35 pending sales, and 11 closed sales.   Better closed activity this year along with an increase in inventory.

August 2016 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos

The August 2016 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos picked up a little from last month and remains active.  Closed sales were down 3.8% from last year (was down 22.6% in July) while new pending sales decreased by 2.9% (was down by 2.6% in July).

Prices on the other hand went back to increasing after last month with the median price up by 23.0% (was down by 18.8 in July) while the average sales price increased by 10.8% (decreased 1.7% in July).  These increases were unexpected as I don’t expect prices to rise quite this fast year to year in the future.  Though, I also don’t expect them to decline anytime soon either.

The inventory of available townhouses and condos increased by 17 units from last month to 526 units, which is only 1.7% less than August 2015. The current supply of inventory is 5.3 months, which is just a little more than the 5.2 months of inventory last year.  The St Lucie County townhouses and condos continues to be in a sellers market. Typically a 6 month inventory is considered a balanced market showing no advantage to either buyers or sellers.

August 2016 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Single Family Homes

August 2016 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Single Family Homes showed some improvement in closed sales from last month and last year while new pending sales are still down from last year.  Closed sales were up by 8.3% (in July they were down by 9.0%) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 15.1% (they were down by 10.0% last month).

Though, prices continue their upward march at very strong rates.  The median and average sales prices up by 18.7% and 20.2% respectively from last August (For July these numbers were 13.0% and 15.2%).  While these are very good results for sellers, they make me a little nervous as rates of increase this high may result in lower affordability of homes and subsequently less sales in the future.

Active listings increased by 137 homes to 1,614 homes.  This inventory is 9.6% higher than last year.  The current supply of homes is at 3.6 months (3.3 months for August of 2015). The St Lucie County single family home market remains in a very strong sellers market.  A balanced market is one with a 6 to 7 month supply of inventory.

August 2016 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos

August 2016 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos had reduced sales volume and prices for August yet still remains a very active market.  Closed sales were up for this month, decreased by 4.8% (was up by 4.7% in July) while new sales under contract (new pending sales) were down by 8.7% from August 2014 (decreased by 15.2% in July).

Prices were also off for August as the median sales price decreased by 9.3% (was up by 8.8% in July) while the average sales price decreased by 8.2% (was up by 4.1% in July) as compared to August of 2015.  I think this is just a temporary situation as I feel prices will continue to rise for the near future.

The inventory of available townhouses and condos increased by 7 units to 377 properties as compared to last month.  This is 16.7% greater than the August 2015 inventory.  Currently, there’s a 3.9 month supply of inventory (an 25.8% increase from last year).  Still a strong sellers market for townhouses and condos in Martin County. A balanced market favoring neither buyers or sellers is considered to be one with a 6 to 7 month supply of inventory.

What’s Not to Love About Martin County Florida?

What’s Not to Love About Martin County Florida?

Martin County - Sailfish fountain

I’ve been in Martin County Florida for over 30 years now which makes it the place that where I’ve lived the longest time by more than triple the time of any place in my life.  It’s the perfect place to be for those with families as we boast a wonderful school system with ‘A’ rated schools that have education and extracurricular programs and top rate graduation rates.

It’s also a wonderful place for growing up for children with safe communities, low crime rates and lots of fun activities available all year long.

Martin County - downtown Stuart

And for those into active lifestyles, we have over 200 miles of waterfront for those wanting to enjoy our rivers or the crystal clear and warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean.  World class fishing is just steps outside your door or a quick ride out to the Inlet.  There’s also waterskiing and sailing.  Those that are a bit more adventurous can enjoy year long windsurfing and kiteboarding available for all levels and we have the spots available for these sports for all wind directions.

Martin County waterfront restaurants and docks

Into golf?  There are over 35 professional golf courses within a 20 mile radius of the Stuart FL area.  Courses are available for all lifestyles from public courses to exclusive private clubs.

And, if you’re retired, you will find these same activities along with world class medical facilities available in all our communities.

Martin County Beches

All this in a County that strictly regulates urban sprawl by limiting unwanted new development and controlling the density of any new projects.  There are no buildings over four stories allowed in the County and most developments are limited to only two stories.  Traffic is hardly ever an issue and when you get to the store, restaurant or vendor of your choice it is rare to not have a parking spot available within steps of the front door.

Plus, it is still an affordable area.  Retiring seniors will find some condos in excellent communities starting from as low as $50,000 while the likes of Tiger Woods and Greg Norman live in the Jupiter Island community of Martin County where you will need considerably more to have your dream estate.

Martin County Waterways

So, come on down and fall in love with Martin County, but don’t tell everyone, we want to stay small and enjoy the quality lifestyle we’ve become accustomed to.

August 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

August 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

The August 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes rebounded a bit from last month.  Closed sales were up by 8.2% (was down by 8.0% in July) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) were down by 1.1% (was down by 9.6% in July).

Both median and average sales prices continue to rise ( August 2015 to August 2016) by 12.6% and 9.3% respectively, compared to July’s 11.6% and 8.0%.  These price rises continue to be a bit to high to be sustainable for a long period of time.

The inventory of available homes for sale fell by 1.8% from last year.  If prices continue to rise rapidly, I expect the inventory to expand in the future.  For August there was only a 4.2 months supply of inventory as Florida remains in a sellers market with the advantage for sellers. (August of 2015 had a 4.4 month supply)  A balanced market favoring neither buyers or sellers is considered to be one with a 6 to 7 month supply of inventory.

Hobe Sound FL 33455 Condo Market Report August 2016

3 Condos sold in August. (The same number of closed sales from July)

Hobe Sound FL 33455 Condo Market Report August 2016

The Hobe Sound condo market (Zip Code 33455) is the smallest segment of the Martin County real estate market.  Inventory levels are at all time lows and it is quite remarkable that there is as much activity as there is in this small segment of the Martin County real estate market.

For August, 2016 the absorption rate is 1.3 month (it was 1 months in July).  Absorption rates in this segment of the Martin County real estate market should be taken with a liberal grain of salt, as small changes in activity make for very large changes on percentages that August not reflect a true trend in the market. An absorption rate of 6 to 7 months is considered to be a balanced market favoring neither the buyer or seller.

The August 2015 numbers were: 2 active listings, 4 pending sales and 3 closed sales.  It’s very difficult to make meaningful comparisons with such low numbers of sales and inventory.
