Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for August 2012

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for August 2012

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Condo Market for August 2012 is showing signs of our typical summer slowdown.  Sales for August were down to 46 units from 57 in July.  Though this is still slightly better than August of 2011 which had 43 sales.  The inventory was up by 7 units and is basically holding steady as last year at this time it was 618 condos available for sale.  I would not be surprised to see more inventory growth as we get into the upcoming  fall and winter condo season.  Both average and median sales prices were off again for August reflecting a continued pressure on pricing in the local condo market.  Also, the mix of sales has been in the lower price ranges, as the more expensive, typically ocean front condos tend to have better sales in the winter and spring season..

The one month absorption rate is up to 12.6 months, while the three-month average is at 10.4 months.  Still a very challenging market for sellers with the accompanying 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 August 2012

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for August 2012

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida residential market report for August 2012 continues to show strong results. The sales volume of 179 homes is 43 homes better than 2011 and 82 homes better than 2010.  Looking at the absorption rate table, this is the first August in memory that sales continued to remain strong during the off season.  All this with a much reduced inventory from previous months.

Average sales prices were up for August, while the median sales price was off slightly.  Indicating a sale of a few much higher priced home and continuing very strong demand for the more affordable mix in the Martin County residential market.  Other than the top of the price range, the market is now showing price increases pretty much across the board until you reach the above $ 1 million dollar homes, where the market remains somewhat difficult.

This months inventory showed a small increase (for the first time in years) to 1147 units (up 15 from last month), still down from the 1340 homes that were on the market in August of 2011 (and the 2795 homes in August of 2007). The one month absorption rate for August is 6.4 months, while the three-month average is 6.6 months.  These absorption rates are very close to a balanced market, favoring neither seller or buyer.

Overall, very positive market results for the residential segment of the Martin County real estate market.

Hobe Sound Florida Market Report ZIP Code 33455 – Condo, August 2012

 

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

 

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

 

There are currently 26 active condo listings. (Down 2 from July)

[singlepic id=2690 w=600 h=600 float=center]

[singlepic id=2691 w=600 h=600 float=center]

 

7 Condo sales are pending and awaiting close or lender approval. (Unchanged from July)

[singlepic id=2692 w=600 h=600 float=center]

 

  2 Condos sold in August (A decrease of 1 condos from July)

[singlepic id=2693 w=600 h=600 float=center]

[singlepic id=2694 w=600 h=600 float=center]

[singlepic id=2695 w=600 h=600 float=center]

[singlepic id=2696 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.  August showed very little change from last month.  With only 26 units available it’s fairly slim pickings in the Hobe Sound Florida Market Report ZIP Code 33455 condo market. Small changes in any metric will reflect large changes in market activity and unless some dramatic changes occur, I would expect the Hobe Sound condo market to remain fairly static.

The one month absorption rate is 13 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.

The August 2011 numbers were:  42 active listings, 6 pending sales and 3 closed sales.  Other than a significantly lower inventory, very similar results.

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

There are currently 298 active listings. ( An increase of 19 homes from July)

[singlepic id=2647 w=600 h=600 float=center]

For the second month in a row the Hobe Sound real estate market (ZIP Code 33455) had some disappointing results.  While closed sales were up for August, the number of pending sales were off considerably and unlike most other areas of Martin County the inventory rose for the second month n a row.  Whether this is just typical seasonal fluctuations for the Hobe Sound real estate market or a trend diverging from other Martin County areas remains to be seen.

The current absorption rate for the Hobe Sound Florida Market Report ZIP Code 33455 stands at 8 months.  This is still a buyers market in Hobe Sound.  An absorption rate of 6 months is considered to be a balanced market favoring neither the buyer or seller.

The numbers for August 2011 were:  342 active listings, 54 pending sales and 30 closed sales.   Marginally better numbers this year than last.

[singlepic id=2710 w=600 h=600 float=center]

The 34990 zip code area of Palm City condo market is a fairly small section of this area as most property in Palm City is either single family homes or town homes.  Thus making meaningful market comparisons somewhat difficult as small changes can have a great effect on the percentages and results.  For August, closed sales were up 3 units from the one sale of July.  Both pending sales and the inventory only changed by 1 unit for August.
The one month absorption rate for the Palm City Florida condo market is 15.5 months.  Still a significant buyers market.
The August 2011 numbers were: 52 active listings, 5 pending sales and 4 closed sales.   Very similar to this year.  The one statistic to note, unlike most other segments of the Martin County real estate market, the inventory for Palm City condos is up from last year.

For the Palm City, zip code 34990, area of Martin County Florida activity remained strong for August after a super spring.  Closed sales were up again.  Pending sales were off for the first time in a number of months, possibly reflecting the typical seasonal slow down for Palm City Florida during the summer months.  The inventory of available homes for sale also declined again, now at levels approaching those during the height of the real estate boom in the mid 2000’s.  The market activity remains active, much more so than in the past few years.

The current absorption rate is 5.8 months, which is considered to be a balanced market, but sliding towards a sellers market.  A 6 month absorption rate is typically considered a balanced market that doesn’t favor either sellers or buyers.

The August 2011 numbers were:  466 active listings, 139 pending sales and 42 closed sales.  Considerably improved market activity for August 2012, especially when the lower inventory is factored into the results.

Jensen Beach Real Estate Snapshot for ZIP Code 34957, Condo Sales for August 2012

 

For August 2012 in the 34957 Zip Code area of Jensen Beach, Florida (Martin County) :

There are currently 50 active listings. ( A decrease of 4 condos from July)

[singlepic id=2703 w=600 h=600 float=center]

 


The Jensen Beach Condo market (zip code 34957) is a fairly small segment of the Martin County condo market. The current inventory is now very low at only 50 condos available for sale. 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 up marginally and closed sales fell for August by 1 unit. Considering that this is the summer season where the condo market activity is normally slow, this segment continues with good activity.

The one month absorption rate for the August 2012, Jensen Beach Florida Market Report ZIP Code 34957 stands at a very unimpressive 12.5 months.  Still a strong buyers market, but there just isn’t very much quality inventory.  I’m expecting this to change when some of the pending sales close.

The August 2011 numbers were: 51 active listings, 15 pending sales and 5 condos closed.  Other than the significantly larger number of pending sales, the inventory and closed sales are virtually identical.

Another positive month for the Jensen Beach residential real estate market, zip code 34957.   The inventory increased for August, which is now a positive sign as it was getting very low.  With a little more inventory, buyers will have a better selection of homes to choose from.  Closed sales were up, while pending sales decreased.

The August 2011 numbers were: 153 active listings, 75 pending sales and 18 home sales closed.  Even with significantly less inventory, much better sales figures for August 2012.

Somewhat surprisingly strong results for the Stuart Condo market for zip code 34994.  While sales were off by 4 condos, pending sales were up by a significant 13 units.  The available inventory also decreased significantly.  The one month absorption rate is at 11.8 months, which still signifies a buyers market.  And, it appears that the buyers are indeed buying, even during the typically slower condo season.  Typically a real estate market is considered to be a balanced market with an absorption rate of 6 to 7 months.  Meaning neither a buyers or sellers market.

Last August the numbers were 136 active listings, 43 pending sales, and 16 closed sales.  There is still great room for improvement in this segment of the Stuart Florida condo market.

The Sewalls Point market report for August 2012 remained pretty static compared to the spring when we had much greater activity.  There is still a fairly high inventory of Sewalls Point homes on the active market, though with 16 pending sales, this number should decrease if these sales close.  Then it will depend on whether or not more home owners decide to sell their homes or not.  The demand for well priced Sewalls Homes is strong, unfortunately demand for many homes in the higher price ranges is just not there at the present time.

Comparing the results to August of 2011, the inventory higher this year as there were only 37 homes on the market last year, pending sales numbered 13, and there were 4 sales from $325,000 to $819,000.  Considerably better numbers last year. Hopefully the Sewalls Point real estate market will show some better activity in the coming season.
