Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for January 2012

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida residential market report for January 2012 starts the year on a slow note. Sales volume (98 units) was up as compared to last year (85) but considerably down from December (160). The one-month absorption rate shot up to14.5 months while the three-month moving average is at a more respectable 10.7 months.  Activity does appear to be high though and I expect that the January numbers reflect slow closings from the slow holiday season (as closings tend to lag from one to three months after the contracts are agreed upon.

The average sales price was up slightly from last year, while the median price was down.   Prices seem to be holding pretty steady at this time in most segments of the market and quality homes that are priced well are selling quickly.  The inventory remained stable (up only by two homes).

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.
