19 Residential sales are pending and awaiting close or lender approval (An increase of 5 from March)

2 Homes sold in March (Down 1 from March)

Four Rivers in Palm City Florida

Four Rivers in Palm City Florida

Waterfront Community in Palm City, Florida

Four Rivers in Palm City Florida is a unique enclave of spacious homes on the banks of the South Fork of the Saint Lucie River.  Ideal for serious boaters, all of Four Rivers’ home sites are on deep water canals suitable for larger vessels and with no fixed bridges (under 60’) to the Saint Lucie inlet to gain access to the crystal clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

Consisting of 98 home sites, with a minimum ½ acre of land (though most have ¾ acre or more), Four Rivers is a perfect family friendly neighborhood. Very conveniently located close to ‘A’ rated schools, shopping, restaurants and only a few minutes from either downtown Stuart or Florida’s Turnpike for those wishing to commute to our more crowded neighboring counties.

Low HOA fees insure the canals will be maintained to a depth of 6’ at mean low tide to make sure no boats have difficulties navigating to open water.  Four Rivers is a wonderful place to call home.

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for March 2012

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for March 2012

Commentary:

Unlike the residential segment of the Martin County real estate market, the Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for March 2012 showed modest increases for March of 2012 rather than the explosive growth in the single family segment of the Martin County real estate market.  Sales for March were a respectable 64 units, 19 units less than March of 2011 (83 units)  but higher than February’s 57 units. On a positive note, the median sales price rose to $103,500 from an anemic $85,000 last month.

The inventory rose slightly to 651 condos, which is up from 640 units last month and down from the 721 condos that were on the market in March of 2011.  The one month absorption rate is now at 10.2 months, while the three month average is at 12.4 months.  It remains a challenging market for condos in Martin County. We need to see the absorption rate below 9 months for a healthy market and down to 6 or 7 months to be considered a balanced one.

The big uncertainty that remains is the economy. We believe that if we have any sustained good news, we will see a pretty good rush on the market which will be a nice change from the present. For the longer term, even though we have the best mortgage rates in history at the moment, inflation is making news and this is not good for rates down the line. The Fed is working hard to keep rates down, but for how long, we’re just not to sure.

Our outlook for Martin County is fairly positive as for buyers, prices and rates remain very attractive. For sellers, it doesn’t look like we’re going to see any significant improvements soon, so if you need to sell, you may be better off now than possibly in the near future.

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for March 2012

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for March 2012

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida residential market report for March 2012 showed very strong results. The sales volume of 198 homes was 11 homes more than last year and up by 82 homes from January (116). The one month absorption rate was down to 6.5 months while the three month moving average is now at 9.9 months. The one month absorption rate is now indicating a balanced market and as some other markets are reporting around the nation, we are hovering on a possibility of once again being in a ‘seller’s markt’. Activity remains high and I expect some fairly respectable numbers for the coming months.

Both average and median sales prices were down slightly from February.  The first decline in the past two months.  This is more a reflection of the mix of homes selling for this month rather than an indication of lower values (More lower priced homes selling).  However the spectre of an increased number of distressed properties being released by the banks remains and should a large number of foreclosures come on the market, this will further depress prices at worst, keep the values relatively stable at best.

Our outlook for Martin County remains optimistic as prices and rates remain at historic low levels. For sellers, homes are selling, and if priced and presented optimally, they are going quickly. Buyers are seeing historically low interest rates and very affordable quality homes in almost all price ranges.

  5 Condos sold in March (Up 4 from February)

The Hobe Sound condo market (Zip Code 33455) is a very small segment of both Hobe Sound real estate as well as the smallest condo market in Martin County. March showed some improvement from previous months, with an increase to 5 closed sales.  Inventory gre a little but with such a low inventory, I don’t expect to see any great movement in this segment of the Treasure Coast Florida condo market. Last March’s numbers were 37 active listings, 9 pending sales and 5 closed sales. Almost identical to this year’s numbers.
