April 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

Some very positive results reported by Florida Realtors for the April 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos for the entire state of Florida.  All indices have moved in a positive direction though similar to the single family report for April 2013.  Year to year closed sales were up by 13.6% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 22.7%.

Both median and average sales prices were up (April 2012 to April 2013) by 16.4% and 12.3% respectively. 

One item of concern is the active inventory which has decreased by almost 20.6%.  The reduced inventory will eventually result in lower sales volume as there just isn’t enough homes available for sale.  This will also result in strong upward pressure on prices and at some point renewed activity in new construction.  If prices rise to a level where currently underwater home owners can see a profit or even a break even price, I will expect a gradual increase in inventory.Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos April 2013

For April 2013 in the 33455 Zip Code area of Hobe Sound, Florida :

 

There are currently 21 active condo listings. (Down 1 condo from March)

[singlepic id=3573 w=600 h=600 float=center]

[singlepic id=3578 w=600 h=600 float=center]

 

The Hobe Sound condo market (Zip Code 33455) is the smallest segment of the Martin County real estate market.  Sales were up to 5 units for April (over double from March) and pending sales were off slightly.  Meaningful interpretation of this market is fairly meaningless with the low number of available condos for sale.

The one month absorption rate jumped to 4.2 months, signifying a return to a seller’s market.  Generally, a 6 month absorption rate is considered to be a balanced market favoring neither the seller or buyer. 

The April 2012 numbers were:  35 active listings, 6 pending sales and 5 closed sales.   Still doing better this year when considering the tiny inventory of condos available for sale in Hobe Sound.

For the Palm City, zip code 34990, area of Martin County Florida the residential market activity showed strong results for April.  Closed sales increased again and remained quite strong.  Pending sales also increased and show good potential for future closed sales.  The inventory continues to decline and this may be a troubling statistic in the future as fewer homes are available for sale.
 

The current absorption rate stands at 5 months.   The Palm City residential real estate market has slipped into a sellers market.  A 6 month absorption rate is typically considered a balanced market that doesn’t favor either sellers or buyers.

The April 2012 numbers were:  462 active listings, 228 pending sales and 49 closed sales.  Our closed sales for this year remain considerably better than last year.  This is especially noteworthy with the reduced amount of available homes for sale.  Pending sales are lower this year and the inventory may very well be one of the factors for this lower number.

The Stuart condo market for the area in ZIP code 34997 showed very strong closed numbers for April .  Sales more than doubled from March (which were also double from February).  Pending sales however took a significant drop.  While the inventory decreased by a small number (2).  One of the strongest months for condo activity in some years.
 

The one month absorption rate decreased to 3 months.  For April, this represents a major shift into a strong seller’s market.  A 6 month absorption rate is typically considered to be a balanced market that favors neither the buyer nor the seller. 

The April 2012 numbers were: 115 active listings, 34 pending sales and 18 closed sales.  Other than the big increase in closed sales for this year, numbers are fairly similar to April of 2012.  I expect a return to a more balanced market in the coming months with the lower pending activity.
