Sewalls Point Single Family Market Report April 2016

The single family real estate market in Sewalls Point showed a nice increase in pending sales for April, but unfortunately closed sales were once again less than expected.  There does seem to be very good showing activity, so I’m expecting sales to pick up as we head into the summer season.

The current absorption rate exploded to 22.7 months, in March it was 11.7 months. A very strong buyers market for Sewalls Point, and those who have dreamed of moving to Sewalls Point should consider taking advantage of this market while they can.  A 6 to 7 month absorption rate is considered a balanced market where neither the seller nor buyer have an advantage.

Comparing the results to April of 2014, the inventory was 79 homes on the market, 11 pending sales and there were 6 closed sales.  The pending inventory is looking much better for this year.

March 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

March 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

The March 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos is now in a balanced market and not the super heated activity as we have experienced for the past two years.  Closed sales were down by 7.1% as compared to last months decrease of 5.4% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 10.1% (In February there was a 10.5% 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.

The median sales price continued to rise, by 3.3% (up by 5.6% in February), while the average sales price decreased by 3.9% (was down 1.4% in February).  It appears that prices may not continue to rise very rapidly for this segment of the Florida real estate market.

The inventory increased by 6.7% from March of last year.  For March 2016 we have 6.3 months of inventory (was also 6.3 months in February) and compared to 6.0 for March 2015.  First time in two years that we are seeing an increase in inventory as well as being out of a sellers market.
