September 2014 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes

The September 2014 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes showed a continued strong market with activity significantly outpacing the average for the state of Florida.  Year to year closed sales were up by 23.3% (was up 22.1% in August). New pending sales increased by 14.1% as compared to September of 2013 (increased by 23.9% in August). 

The median sales price was up by 4% from last year (down by .3% in August) while the average price decreased by .5% (was down by 6.8% last month).  I believe the slower price appreciation in the Marin County residential market is contributing to the active market..

The inventory of available single family homes decreased from August 2014 by 59 homes to 1,229 units this month, this still represents a 2.4% increase from last September.  Current supply of inventory decreased to 6 months from last month’s  6.4 (a 9% decrease from last year).  Currently, Martin County has a balanced market for single family home sales.

September 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

For the September 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos for the state of Florida we’re seeing positive results once again after a disappointing summer.  Year to year closed sales were up by 2.2% as compared to last months decrease of 8.8% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 1.2% (August’s decrease was 13.1%).

Both median and average sales prices were up (year to year) by 9.8% and 12% respectively (in August they were up by 3.8% and .5%). These fairly large increases can be a mixed blessing as to fast of a rate of appreciation can price many potential buyers out of the market.

Inventory rose for the twelfth month in a row, by 5.3% (was up by 8.9% in August).  The September 2014 numbers show a marked increase in activity levels and we continue as a seller’s market as there is currently a 5.8 months supply of inventory (was 5.7 months in August) which is up 8% from last year.  A 6 months inventory supply is considered a balanced market.

September 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

The September 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes as reported by Florida Realtors showed more improvement for September and at a better rate than last month.  Year to year closed sales were up by 13.5% (was up by 4.2% in August) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 10.6% (was up by 3% in August).

Both median and average sales prices continue to rise ( September 2013 to September 2014) by 5.9% and 4% respectively, compared to August’s 3.4% and 4.3%.   Slow and steady appreciation is a sign of a stable and growing real estate market.

The inventory of available homes for sale rose by 7.2% from last year.  This is now a full twelve months of increased inventory.  This increase is a direct result of rising prices as many home sellers have been waiting on the side lines for improved values.  This increase in inventory makes for greater choices and more price competition among sellers. With only a 5.4 months supply of inventory, this is a healthy market with a slight edge to sellers. (September of 2013 had a 5.3 month supply)

1 Condo sale is pending and awaiting close. (Down 3 condos from August)

 

2 Condos sold in August (Unchanged from August)Hobe Sound FL 33455 Condo Market Report September 2014

The Hobe Sound condo market (Zip Code 33455) is the smallest segment of the Martin County real estate market. There are now no pending sales in the Hobe Sound for September. Not a good sign for future activity. Active listings increased by one and closed sales remained at 2 units.

The current absorption rate is 9.5 months (Last month it was 9 months). The statistics within this segment should be taken with a grain of salt, as small changes in activity make for very large changes on percentages that September not indicate 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 September 2013 numbers were: 14 active listings, 3 pending sales and 6 closed sales. A considerably weaker market for Hobe Sound condos this year when compared to last year.

Hobe Sound FL 33455 Residential Market Report September 2014

The Hobe Sound Florida Market Report ZIP Code 33455 section of Martin County for September had a much weaker month with closed sales almost dropping by half.  The silver lining is that pending sales as well as the inventory of available homes was up, indicating good future activity in the coming months.

The current absorption rate for the Hobe Sound Florida Market Report ZIP Code 33455 increased to 10 months (4.6 months in August).  Back into a buyers market for Hobe Sound, after over a year of being in a sellers market. I don’t expect this to continue though, and we should be back closer to a balanced or even a sellers market again next month.  An absorption rate of 6 to 7 months is considered to be a balanced market favoring neither the buyer or seller.

The numbers for September 2013 were:  245 active listings, 69 pending sales and 49 closed sales.   Considerably worse closed sales activity as compared to last year.

0 Condos Sold in September. (Down by 4 condos from August)

 

The Palm City FL 34990 condo real estate market is a fairly small segment of the Martin County condo market.  Unfortunately it is having a difficult time at present and the past few months.  There were no closed sales this month and only 2 condos are pending.  It looks like it will be some time before we see an improvement for the Palm City condo market.

The September 2013 numbers were: 55 active listings, 8 pending sales and 5 closed sales.   One of our few areas with activity levels below that of last year.

Stuart FL 34994 Condo Market Report September 2014

 Still an active market for the Stuart FL 34994 Condo market.  Unfortunately, the inventory is getting low which means less of a choice for buyers coming into the area (or transitioning to new properties).  Pending sales are very strong while closed sales were down slightly for September.

The one month absorption rate remained basically unchanged at 4.75  months compared to last month’s 4.8.  Still a 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 119 active listings, 48 pending sales, and 15 closed sales.  Overall better activity this year when the reduced inventory is factored in as percentages of market activity.
