Continued strong activity for the Sewalls Point market report for November 2012.  A very good month for sales with 8 closings.  Pending sales were off  (by 7 homes) while the inventory is now down to 41 homes.  This is getting to be pretty slim for Sewalls Point.

The absorption rate now stands at 5.1 months.  This is an indication of a transition into a slight sellers market.  Where a seller has an advantage over the buyer because of the low supply and high demand.  A balanced market is considered to be when the absorption rate is 6 months.

Comparing the results to November of 2011, the inventory was at 49 homes homes on the market last year, pending sales numbered only 13 homes, and there was only 3 sale.

Snug Harbor was the vision of a group of 10 Yachtsmen, many former Commodores of the Chicago Yacht Club back in 1943. They bought the land and platted the area in September 1944 as well as forming the Snug Harbor Corporation, which controlled the ownership of the lots.

Snug Harbor

In 1975 the deeds were distributed and/or sold to the then owners and a condominium form of ownership was established under the name of the Snug Harbor Yacht Club. With both waterfront and non-waterfront homes and estates, located just minutes away from the ocean by boat or car and also convenient to downtown Stuart, offices, restaurants and recreational areas.

Snug Harbor is one of the finest communities in Martin County. There are only 72 home sites with a club house, deep water marina, boat ramp, trailer parking and tennis courts. There is an active association with social activities year round that make this community a very attractive place to call home.

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for October 2012

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for October 2012

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Condo Market for October 2012 continues to tread water neither getting worse or better.  Sales for October were up to 50 units from a very weak 39 in September.  Just about identical to October 2011 which had 53 sales.  The inventory rose to 574 condos (up 6 from September) which is about 100 condos less than were available last year.  I would not be surprised to see more inventory growth as we get into the upcoming  fall and winter condo season.  The median sales price did take a hit in October , down to $114,750 down from $159,000 for September, but still above last year’s $92,500.

The one month absorption rate is up to 11.5 months, while the three-month average is at 12.7 months.  Still a very challenging market for condo sellers.  But quite attractive opportunities for buyers.  We 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.

Currently, the condo market is under-performing as compared to our residential market and the condo markets of our southern neighbors.  I do expect this trend to stop as buyers realize the bargains currently available in the Martin County condo market.

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 October 2012

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for October 2012

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida residential market report for October 2012 showed strong activity. In a month that typically is slow by historical standards, 153 homes closed, 40 homes better than 2011 and 39 homes better than 2010.  All this with an inventory of available homes now down by close to 50% from 2010.

Average and median sales prices were both higher for October.  This months inventory showed a slight increase to 1149 homes (up 14 from September), still down from the 1359 homes that were on the market in October of 2011 (and the 2710 homes in October of 2007). The one month absorption rate for October is 7.5 months, while the three-month average is 7.4 months. A 6 month absorption rate is considered to be a balanced market, so we are once again in a slight buyers market in Martin County.

Showing activity remains strong, though we are in the middle of the holiday season which normally is a slower market.

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

Hobe Sound Real Estate Snapshot for ZIP Code 33455, Condo Sales for October 2012

 

For October 2012 in the 33455 Zip Code area of Hobe Sound, Florida :

 

There are currently 29 active condo listings. (Up 1 from September)

[singlepic id=2998 w=600 h=600 float=center]

[singlepic id=2999 w=600 h=600 float=center]

[singlepic id=3003 w=600 h=600 float=center]

[singlepic id=3004 w=600 h=600 float=center]

 

The Hobe Sound condo market (Zip Code 33455) is tied now ith the Jensen Beach area as the smallest segment of the Martin County real estate market.  October showed very little change from last month (which showed very little change from August).  Only an increase of 1 condos in inventory with both pending and closed sales remaining unchanged from September.

The one month absorption rate is 14.5 months, signifying that it’s still a buyers market.  Generally, a 6 month absorption rate is considered to be a balanced market favoring neither the seller or buyer.  But, with such low numbers, these indicators can easily be misleading.  With the holidays approaching, I’m not expecting any significant change in the Hobe Sound condo market in the coming months.

The October 2011 numbers were:  42 active listings, 3 pending sales and 2 closed sales.  Other than a lower inventory, very similar results to this year’s activity.

After two months of gains in inventory, The Hobe Sound Florida residential real estate market reversed course and decreased the active inventory in October.  There were surprisingly strong results in both pending and closed sales as well, making the 33455 zip code area of Martin County one of the top performing areas for October 2012.

The current absorption rate for the Hobe Sound Florida Market Report ZIP Code 33455 dropped to 11.5 months from last month’s 21 months.  While still a buyer’s market, it’s considerably closer to a balanced market.  An absorption rate of 6 months is considered to be a balanced market favoring neither the buyer or seller.

The numbers for October 2011 were:  328 active listings, 59 pending sales and 30 closed sales.   Other than a larger number of pending sales (possibly indicating higher closed numbers in the months ahead), fairly similar to this years number.

The Jensen Beach Condo market (zip code 34957) is a fairly small segment of the Martin County condo market.  After this past month’s drop in inventory, the number of available units is very small. This might be an excellent time for those who have a need to sell their Jensen Beach condo in zip code 34957.  Pending sales were down and closed sales were up for October.  With such small inventory, as well as the holidays approaching, I’m not expecting any movement from this segment of the market, unless the inventory can pick up.

The one month absorption rate for the October 2012, Jensen Beach Florida Market Report ZIP Code 34957 is 3.6 months.  The strongest seller’s market for condos in Martin County.

The October 2011 numbers were: 60 active listings, 12 pending sales and 1 condos closed.

[singlepic id=2976 w=600 h=600 float=center]

 
For the Palm City, zip code 34990, area of Martin County Florida, a good strong October after a pretty weak September.  Closed sales came back up by 16 from a disappointing September.  The inventory of available homes for sale increased as well, but still remain at levels lower than they’ve been in quite a few years.  Pending sales were off by a bit and we expect some slower market activity for the next few months as we approach the holidays.

The current absorption rate stands at 8.6 months. Considerably better than last month’s over 1 year absorption rate.  This is a slight buyer’s market.  A 6 month absorption rate is typically considered a balanced market that doesn’t favor either sellers or buyers.  Much of these numbers are a reflection of the slower activity which is typical for our area in the summer months.

The October 2011 numbers were:  468 active listings, 138 pending sales and 41 closed sales.  Better than last October, especially when factoring in the lower inventory for this year.

Reflecting the off season for condos, the Stuart condo market for the area in ZIP code 34997 had a pretty lackluster month for October.  Basically unchanged from September, with only minor variations.  With the holidays coming up, we’re not expecting any major movement in the Stuart condo market.  Possibly an increase in inventory as often condo owners will try to time the market for the winter and spring season when activity tends to be a bit higher.

The one month absorption rate is at 16.5 months, indicating a continued strong buyers market.

The October 2011 numbers were: 120 active listings, 13 pending sales and 10 closed sales.  Other than approximately 20% less available inventory, the numbers are fairly similar to October 2011.
