Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for February 2013

03.31.13 by

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for February 2013

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Condo Market for February 2013 showed some very positive signs.  After disappointing results from much of the fall season, sales numbers for February were up to 66 units.  This is considerably better than last February of 57 and the weak January numbers of 39.  The inventory continues to decline.  Now down to 604 condos (Down 36 from February of 2012).  This is the second month of decreasing inventory after 3 months of increases.  The median sales price dropped to $88,250 for February of 2013 (Was 85,000 in February of 2012).   While the median list price remained unchanged at $179,000.  These numbers are a little misleading as it appears that prices have stabilized in the condo market.  There have been a relatively greater number of lower priced condos sold which is driving the median sales prices down.

The one month absorption rate dipped to 9.15 months from last months 15.6 months, while the three-month average is now at 11.6 months.  Still a challenging market for condo sellers, but there has been a significant improvement in February.  We still need to see a sustained absorption rate below 9 months for a healthy market and down to 6 or 7 months to be considered a balanced one.

 The Definition of Absorption Rate:
Number of months it takes to sell the current inventory at the present rate of sales. Knowing your area’s Absorption Rate, helps to track trends. Understanding the market and where it is headed is part of our job as real estate professionals. Absorption rate is NOT an exact science. Figuring it is based on the premise that one will be looking for a TREND. It is advised to consistently do the numbers each month, to be able to track a trend.

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for February 2013

03.30.13 by

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for February 2013

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for February 2013 showed strong sales activity for the month.  Better number of closed sales than in past years.  All with a much lower inventory as well.  In fact, our inventory levels are getting low enough that I expect to see some slowing of sales activity simply because there’s not enough homes for sale.  If this happens, I expect to see a further rise in prices, which has already began.

Average and median sales prices were both up for February.  The inventory of available homes dropped 90 from January.    The one month absorption rate for February 2013 decreased to 7.87 months, while the three-month average rose to 7.68 months.  A 6 month absorption rate is considered to be a balanced market, so we remain in a slight buyers market in Martin County.

Activity is remaining strong for March.  Positive economic news as well as continued low interest rates continue to drive buyers into the market.  We continue to be in a very attractive market for buyers.  Sellers can also expect to see good value in the sale of their homes as compared to the past few years.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any difficulty interpreting these charts.

The Jensen Beach residential real estate market, zip code 34957 for February rebounded from a slower January with increased sales and pending sales.   The current inventory is now down to very low levels and unless we have more available homes, I expect numbers to decline once the sizable number of pending sales close.  For the immediate future, there should be excellent sales activity as the pending sales close.
 
The current absorption rate for the Jensen Beach Florida Market Report ZIP Code 34957 dropped to 6.1 months, a balanced market.  A 6 month absorption rate is considered to be a balanced market favoring neither the seller or buyer.
 
The February 2012 numbers were: 155 active listings, 91 pending sales and 16 home sales closed.  Considering a 50% reduction in inventory, and better pending and closed numbers, the Jensen Beach real estate market is doing very well.
