Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for March 2012

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for March 2012

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida residential market report for March 2012 showed very strong results. The sales volume of 198 homes was 11 homes more than last year and up by 82 homes from January (116). The one month absorption rate was down to 6.5 months while the three month moving average is now at 9.9 months. The one month absorption rate is now indicating a balanced market and as some other markets are reporting around the nation, we are hovering on a possibility of once again being in a ‘seller’s markt’. Activity remains high and I expect some fairly respectable numbers for the coming months.

Both average and median sales prices were down slightly from February.  The first decline in the past two months.  This is more a reflection of the mix of homes selling for this month rather than an indication of lower values (More lower priced homes selling).  However the spectre of an increased number of distressed properties being released by the banks remains and should a large number of foreclosures come on the market, this will further depress prices at worst, keep the values relatively stable at best.

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.
