Stuart FL 34997 Residential Market Report September 2015

      The Stuart Florida Residential Market for ZIP Code 34997 remains one of the strongest local markets.  For September we had a very welcome increase in inventory that should help maintain strong sales numbers for the foreseeable future.
     The current one month absorption rate increased slightly to 3.4  months (was 3.1 months for August).  Most of this increase is due to the stronger inventory numbers and we still remain in a very strong seller’s market for the 34997 zip code area of Stuart, FL.  Typically a balanced market, favoring neither the seller or buyer, is represented by a 6 to 7 month absorption rate.
     The 2014 numbers for September, were: 351 active listings, 154 pending listings and 87 closed sales.  With the reduced inventory of this year, we are starting to fall behind as compared to last year’s inventory.

The Stuart FL 34996 Condo Market is bucking the trend for the off season with increased activity for September.  As we head into the off season for condo sales, this segment of the Stuart condo market has seen some very strong activity, though the greatly reduced active inventory is cause for some serious concern.  This will impact future numbers if we don’t see more units come on the market soon.

The current absorption rate for the Stuart Florida condos in ZIP Code 34996 plunged to 2.6 months from August’s 3.9 months.  Continuing as a very strong sellers market.  A balanced market is considered to occur when the absorption rate is from 6 to 7 months.

The numbers for September 2014 were: 147 active listings, 37 pending sales and 28 closed sales.  Stronger activity this year as compared to last with significantly less inventory.

The numbers for September of 2014 were: 155 active listings, 32 pending sales and 7 closed sales.  Sales volume and activity while not robust for the 34996 zip code area continues to outperform last years numbers.

Stuart FL 34994 Condo Market Report September 2015

The Stuart FL 34994 Condo market while still active is showing reduced activity as we head into the off season.  The low inventory levels is quite apparent and I’m hoping this will reverse in the coming months or at latest by early next year.  Though even with the low inventory, pending sales increased for the month indicating better closed activity for the near future.

The one month absorption rate increased to 6.5 months compared to last month’s 5.4.  Slipping into a balanced market for the 34994 Stuart zip code condo area after many months of being a strong sellers market.  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 95 active listings, 42 pending sales, and 20 closed sales.   Better activity last year.  Though the greater inventory is probably a large factor in this.

Both median and average sales prices continue their gains with increases of 13.5% and 9.7% respectively from last August (For July these numbers were 20.1% and 17.3%).  It’s the decreasing inventory that is one factor in the continuing rise in prices.

The inventory of active listings increased in August (from last month) by 35 homes to 1,559, and this is  lower than last year’s inventory by 17.3%.  The current supply of inventory is only 3.3 months (a 19.8% decrease from last year). The Saint Lucie County single family home market remains a very strong sellers market.  We are seeing a reduction in volume of sales because either there isn’t enough inventory available on the market or prices are becoming to high.

August 2015 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos showed weaker activity from last year as well as last month.  Year to year closed sales were down by 14.4% (was down by 11% in July) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) were down by 17.5% from August 2014 (decreased by 10% in July).

The median sales price was up by 33.2% (was up by 14.5% in July) while the average sales price increased by 22% (was up by 15.8% in July) as compared to August of 2014.  With so liitle inventory, pressure is high for increasing prices in Martin County.

The inventory of available townhouses and condos has decreased by 37 units to 337 properties from last month, this is 34.6% less inventory than was available in August of 2014.  For August there was a 3.1 month supply of inventory (a 39.9% decrease from last year).  Continuing as a very strong sellers market for townhouses and condos in Martin County.  I am hoping with the increase in prices, many potential sellers will enter the market and bring inventory levels up.
