The Palm City FL, zip code 34990, residential real estate market continued to show positive results month to month and remains a solid performing market.  With the strong pending sales numbers I expect the Palm City residential market to be back into a balance market soon, if not all the way to a sellers’ market.

January 2016 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos

The January 2016 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos continues to show strong activity but not quite as robust as compared to January of last year.  Closed sales were up 4.9% from last year (was down 2.8% in December) while new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 33.3% (was up by 5.6% in December).

The median sales price increased by 3.2% (up by 0.9% in December) while the average sales price was up by 10.0% (decreased 9.9% in December).  Somewhat mixed signals for the first month of 2016 for prices for St Lucie County townhouses and condos.

The inventory of available townhouses and condos increased by 90 units from last month to 543 units, which is 8.8% less than January 2015. The current supply of inventory increased to 5.9 months as compared to last month’s 5.1 months, which is still 21.2% lower than last year.  The St Lucie County townhouses and condos market continues as a sellers’ market but just barely. Typically a 6 month inventory is considered a balanced market showing no advantage to either buyers or sellers.

January 2016 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos

January 2016 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos  began 2016 with dissapointing closed volumes while also showing some very heft price increases.  Closed sales were down by 20.2% (was up by 1.8% in December) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) were down by 33.9% from January 2014 (decreased by 23.9% in December).  These decreases in closed and pending sales are a bit troubling for future months.

Even though the sales volume is off, prices continue to rise and very strong rates.  The median sales price was up by 39.1% (was up by 27.1% in December) while the average sales price increased by 36.8% (was up by 9.2% in December) as compared to January of 2015.

The inventory of available townhouses and condos jumped up by 57 units to 468 properties as compared to last month.  The third straight month of increased inventory, though this is still 14.4% below the January 2015 inventory.  Currently, there’s a 4.4 month supply of inventory (a 6.4% decrease from last year).  Still in a strong sellers market for townhouses and condos for Martin County.  It will be interesting to see what happens as the inventory increases if sales continue their slower pace.
