April 2016 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos

April 2016 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos  had a small increase in closed sales, though future pending sales are lower.  Closed sales were up by 3.9% (was down by 11.2% in March) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) were down by 8.4% from April 2014 (decreased by 5.9% in March).

The median sales price was up by 19.1% (was up by 26.6% in March) while the average sales price increased by 28.9% (was up by 40.3% in March) as compared to April of 2015.  These are very impressive price gains and I just don’t know how long this can continue before it prices more buyers out of the Martin County real estate market

The inventory of available townhouses and condos increased by 12 units to 410 properties as compared to last month.  The first increase in two months. This is 2.4% below the April 2015 inventory.  Currently, there’s a 4.2 month supply of inventory (a 5.0% decrease from last year).  Still in a strong sellers market for townhouses and condos for Martin County.

April 2016 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes

The April 2016 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes showed lower closed sales from last years numbers and a continued decrease in inventory.  Year to year closed sales were down by 4.3% (was up 3.4% in March). New pending sales decreased by 0.3% as compared to April of 2015 (Decreased by 0.8% in March).

And prices continue to rise as the median sales price was up by 6.7% from last year (up by 17.1% in March) while the average price increased by 22.6% (was up by 15.3% last month).  Price increases of this magnitude are probably unsustainable and I don’t anticipate them going up like this for much longer.

The inventory of available single family homes decreased from last month by 60 homes to 1,040 units for this month,  this is 1.5% less than last April.  Current supply of homes is 5.1 months, for April of last year it was a 5.3 months supply. (This is a 3.8% decrease from last year).  Still a sellers market for Martin County single family home sales.

April 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

The April 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos is beginning to show some slower activity tahn in past years drifting out of a sellers market and currently in a balanced one.  Closed sales were down by 5.3% as compared to last months decrease of 7.1% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 5.7% (In March there was a 10.1% decrease).  While on the single family side of the Florida real estate market this decrease in volume can be attributed to inventory, for condos and townhouses it appears to be strictly price related as the inventory has been gaining in the past few months.

Inexplicably, prices continue to rise, though at a slower pace than for the past few years.  The median sales price was up by 4.4% (up by 3.3% in March), while the average sales price increased by 2.9% (was down 3.9% in March).  Should the inventory continue to rise with slow sales, I expect these price increase to shrink in the near future.

The inventory increased by 7.5% from April of last year.  For April 2016 we have 6.3 months of inventory (was also 6.3 months in March) and compared to 5.9 for April 2015.  We are currently in a balanced market for Florida townhouse and condo sales.

April 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

The April 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes shows continued strong activity but less robust than last year primarily because of reduced inventory and strong price increases.  Closed sales were down by 0.6% (was also down by 0.6% in March) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) were down by 4.2% (was down by 6.3% in March).

Both median and average sales prices continue to rise ( April 2015 to April 2016) by 9.2% and 3.8% respectively, compared to March’s 10.3% and 4.9%.  These year to year price increases remain very strong, and in my opinion, unsustainable for the long run.  But, for now, these increases show no signs of abating.

The inventory of available homes for sale fell by 23% from last year.  Higher demand areas of Florida have seen decreasing inventory for more than three years now.  For April there was only a 4.5 months supply of inventory as Florida remains in a sellers market with the advantage for sellers. (April of 2015 had a 4.8 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 April 2016

The Hobe Sound condo market (Zip Code 33455) is the smallest segment of the Martin County real estate market.  April showed strong activity for the little existing inventory available for Hobe Sound Condos.

There were no sales in Hobe Sound condos for both January and March, but for April the absorption rate is 1.3 months, for December of 2015 it was 1.7 months.  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 may 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 April 2015 numbers were: 10 active listings, 2 pending sales and 5 closed sales.  Considering we have just over half the active inventory from last year, this months sales volume is impressive.

 The Jensen Beach FL 34957 Condo Market Report April 2016 remains a small sector as far as condos in Martin County and making meaningful comparisons with such small numbers can be problematic.  The Jensen Beach condo inventory is the real issue with not enough to choose from for those buyers looking in the area, though for April we had a nice little increase which will hopefully continue.  Unfortunately pending sales were off for the month.
