The Saint Lucie River is located in the Martin and Saint Lucie Counties of Florida. The North Fork originates in Saint Lucie County and winds for miles until joining the South Fork in Martin County on the shores of Palm City, Jensen Beach and Stuart.  The South Fork becomes the Okeechobee waterway and is navigable through the lake and beyond to the Gulf of Mexico via the Caloosahatchee River.
The Saint Lucie River in Martin County is almost a mile wide in places and offers residents great boating and aquatic recreation.  The river empties to the Atlantic Ocean at the Saint Lucie inlet which is only a short boat ride to the sparkling blue waters of the Bahamas.

Condominium Market Report for April 2011 in Martin County, Florida

Condominium Market Report for April 2011 in Martin County, Florida

Corresponding fairly closely to the residential Martin County Market Report, condo sales were off from a year ago as well as from last month.  Possibly due in small measure to the coming end of the season, but not completely as it takes some time for transactions to close, typically from 30 to 60 days.  So, April sales actually represent contracts written in February and March.  Historically, April sales are typically slightly less than March.  Inventory had a small decline and we are back to inventory levels last seen in November of 2005.  Unfortunately, both median and average sales prices are still decreasing.  The one-month absorption rate is back up to 14.8 months for April.

Residential Market Report for April 2011 in Martin County, Florida

Residential Market Report for April 2011 in Martin County, Florida

Mixed results for April in the Martin County Residential Market Report.  Sales were off considerably from last year (which it’s important to keep in mind were greatly inflated by the government’s first-time home buyer’s tax credit).   Unfortunately, sales were also off a bit from a very strong March of this year (down to 161 homes from a March total of 187).  On the positive side, the inventory is continuing to shrink, now down to 1531 units.  The last time it was at this level was back in November of 2005.  Both median and average sales prices were up for April, reflecting the fact that some higher-end homes are now selling.  The single-month absorption rate increased to 9.51 months (not reflected in my 3-month moving average chart).   It’s still too early to tell if we have actually bottomed out in this market and are holding steady or even seeing some price increases.  I expect June numbers to be off a little as we go into our seasonal cycle.
