Condominium Market Report for November 2010 in Martin County, Florida

There was quite an unexpected increase in sales volume for November in the Martin County condo market.  Sales, as well as median and average prices, were up. This is a definite positive trend.  Hopefully, this trend will continue into 2011.  Inventory was up slightly, there is quite a bit of inventory that might become available if the positive results continue.

Residential Market Report for November 2010 in Martin County, Florida

12.22.10 by

Residential Market Report for November 2010 in Martin County, Florida.

The residential sales report for November showed an increase in the weakness of the real estate market.  Much of this is seasonal, as can be compared to past years’ fluctuations.  Average sales prices have continued their slide, but much of this is due to lower-priced inventory (smaller and older homes) sales and distressed property sales.

Interest rates have started to increase and this may result in at least a short-term increase in home sales, but more negative pressure on prices.

Tips for Applying for a Mortgage

Tips for Applying for a Mortgage

How To Apply

In recent years the loan application process has been greatly simplified, however, proper information from borrowers is still required. Most lenders today are looking for fully-documented loan applications. This may sound intimidating, however, it’s not a big deal. Just take these steps:

  • At least three months BEFORE you finance or refinance real estate get a copy of your credit report. The reason to do this is to check and see if there’s any information on your credit report which is factually incorrect or out-of-date (most negative items can stay on a credit report for seven years, 10 years for a bankruptcy). If you start looking at your credit report three months ahead you should have some time to correct errors. You can get a free credit report with no strings attached by going to AnnualCreditReport.com.
  • Get your paperwork in order. Have in hand your last three pay stubs, your last three tax returns, and statements for all savings and checking accounts, mutual funds, retirement accounts, credit cards, student loans, car loans, etc. Make a file and stick the paperwork in it. You want to show ALL income and you must show ALL debts. When in doubt add it to the file.
  • Ask some questions: Do you expect to receive “bonus” income now or in the future? Do you expect to receive “overtime” income now or in the future Will “other” income in addition to your salary continue at current levels? If you own your home and use it as a prime residence, what’s the estimated fair market value? What’s the value of all financing now secured by your current home if you’re refinancing?

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

11.22.10 by

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.
