Pinecrest Lakes in Jensen Beach, Florida

Pinecrest Lakes in Jensen Beach, Florida was first developed in the late 70’s and early 80’s during a time when the Martin County Commissioners were notoriously stringent and restrictive about new developments in the area.  Consequently, this community has a distinctive feel and flavor.  All homes are on at least a 1/2 acre lot with many on larger 1 to 2 acre lots.  None of the homes are identical and all types of construction and paint schemes are allowed.

Pinecrest Lakes is located south of NE Jensen Beach Boulevard and just east of the new Green River parkway.  Residents enjoy wide winding streets with sidewalks, street lights, underground utilities and public water.  Community features include tot lots, parks, lakes and tennis courts.

Pinecrest Lakes is located in Martin County’s “A” rated school district.  The local public elementary school, Jensen Beach Elementary School, is less than a mile away, within easy walking and biking distance for students.  Students also attend Stuart Middle School in Stuart and Jensen Beach High School located approximately 1 mile northwest of the community on NE Jensen Beach Boulevard.

Pinecrest Lakes is also about 1 mile to the east of the Treasure Coast Square Mall, Martin County’s main shopping center. Residents are a short ride away from the beautiful beaches on Hutchinson Island, historic downtown Jensen Beach, Indian Riverside Park as well as numerous boat ramps and marinas that serve the vast boating resources available in Martin County.

Residential Market Report for October 2010 in Martin County, Florida

Residential Market Report for October 2010 in Martin County, Florida

The Martin County Residential Market Reports sales data of single-family homes and townhomes as reported by the Realtor Association of Martin County.

Sales of residential units in Martin County remained basically unchanged from last month in volume while down from October of 2009 from 133 units to 114 units for this October.  The homeowners’ tax credit was in force and this certainly had an effect on the higher sales volume of last year..

Average sales prices took another dip this month while listing prices have risen slightly.  Inventory has basically remained unchanged from last year and with sales down the absorption rate is once again high ( almost 16 months) and at very unattractive levels. Barring any unforeseen external economic events, we are expecting a modest increase in sales volume after the holidays as the current buying environment is very positive with some of the best values available.  If there’s any hint of inflation and the corresponding increase in mortgage interest rates we expect a fairly strong increase in activity, unfortunately for sellers with no corresponding increase in prices.

Condominium Market Report for October 2010 in Martin County, Florida

Condominium Market Report for October 2010 in Martin County, Florida

The October Condo market declined to 30 unit sales, down significantly from 57 units in October 2009 and 48 in September 2010.  Some of this decline can be attributed to normal seasonal fluctuations as demand for second homes (condos) declines as we approach the holiday season.
On a positive note, the median price has increased reflected in sales of some higher-priced units.  It would be a mistaken assumption to think that individual unit values have started to increase.

Condominium Market Report for September 2010 in Martin County, Florida

10.27.10 by

Condominium Market Report for September 2010 in Martin County, Florida

The September Condo market showed some fairly good numbers in terms of volume of sales.  Up from the last year as well as the previous month.  Inventory has declined some more and the trend appears to be fairly positive.  Unfortunately, the median sales price is continuing a downward trend.  Much of this downward trend reflects that sales of lower-priced non-waterfront condos are currently the predominant market share.  The volume of riverfront and oceanfront condos has picked up slightly but remains very sluggish.
For the higher-priced segment of the market, foreclosures and short sales, while not the greatest number of listings, continue to drag prices down overall!

Residential Market Report for September 2010 in Martin County, Florida

The Martin County Residential Market Reports sales data of single family homes and townhomes as reported by the Realtor Association of Martin County.

Sales of residential units in Martin County were sluggish for September with a small decrease in volume from August and a little larger decrease from last year.  Inventory which has risen for the past three months showed a small decline.

On a positive note, the average sales price has risen.  In a careful analysis of sales this rise is from the increased number of sales of higher end homes rather than increases in values of existing homes.  For the middle to lower end of our market, prices have stabilized for those homes that have been updated and presented well.

Residential Market Report for August 2010 in Martin County, Florida

The Martin County Residential Market Reports sales data of single-family homes and townhomes as reported by the Realtor Association of Martin County.

Sales for single-family units in Martin County for August were down to 117 units as compared to July’s disappointing 145 units and last August’s 156 units.  It appears that we are seeing some reduced demand as a result of the end of the federal home buyer’s tax credit, a weak economy that has many would-be buyers (especially of second homes) nervous and waiting on the sidelines and also normal seasonal reduced activity.

After a fairly strong spring with stabilizing prices, it appears that both median and average prices took a slide in August reflecting the weaker demand and continued oversupply of available homes.  Unlike the Condo segment of the market, single-family home inventory has risen now for the fourth month in a row as those that were trying to time this market reacted to the strong spring sales, but as with most that try to time the market, have reacted a bit to slow and late.  Interest rates have also made some small increases of late that could further negatively affect the market.

Condominium Market Report for August 2010 in Martin County, Florida

The August Condo market report shows some mixed indicators.  Sales year to year are up slightly (by 5 units).  Down from July, which is a typical seasonal result.  Prices continue to slide although the median sales price was up for August reflecting on the mix of some higher-priced units selling.  The best news is that the inventory has continued to shrink and is now equal to the inventory we had back in December of 2005 which was near the beginning of the current slump in the market.

Unfortunately, I think there’s a fairly high shadow inventory of condos with the owners waiting to see what the market does.  Should there be any sign of an upturn, these units will enter the market creating more supply which will negatively impact prices further.  The best opportunity for this segment of the market is a rebound in the economy which for the moment doesn’t seem to be near at hand.
