Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for June 2012

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida residential market report for June 2012 showed excellent results. The sales volume of 189 homes continues to surpass recent years.  Along with strong numbers this spring, it certainly indicates that the market is turning for the better.  If this rate of activity continues, I expect to see a strong sellers market developing.

Both average and median sales prices were down slightly from the excellent May results.  This is an indication of the mix of homes sold, rather than either a decrease or increase in home values overall.  We are seeing some segments of our market with slowly rising prices.  More specifically some of the newer homes in developments that were hardest hit in the market over the past few years.

The inventory is now down to 1154 homes, down from the 1391 homes that were on the market in June of 2011. The one month absorption rate is now at 6.11 months, while the three-month average is down to 6.36 months.  This indicates a balanced market, favoring neither seller or buyer.

One issue coming up recently is the shortage of quality inventory.  Many buyers are just not finding the homes they desire as our inventory has decreased to such low levels.  Those that need to buy will settle for something that they can make work.  For the more discretionary buyer, they continue to wait for that ‘right’ home to come on the market.
