May 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

For the May 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos for the state of Florida, activity has decreased from last years hot pace.  Year to year closed sales were down by 7% as compared to last months decrease of 5.1% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 13.4% (April’s decrease was 11%).

Both median and average sales prices were up (year to year) by 13.7% and 12.7% respectively (in April it was 9.8% and 10.6%). Continued strong price gains.  This is a bit surprising since the market does appear to be cooling somewhat, though for may it continues to be active and a balanced market.

Inventory rose for the eighth month in a row, by 11.3% (was up by 9.3 in April).  The rising inventory should eventually produce some pressure to moderate the rising prices.  Hopefully, this will help continue the strong momentum for sales activity.  The current 6 month supply of inventory is a good sign that we are in a balanced market.

May 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

The May 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes as reported by Florida Realtors showed improved results from last year, though at a much reduced pace from 2013.  Year to year closed sales were up, but only by 3.6% (was up by 4.1% in April) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 0.6% (was down by 1.1% in April).

Both median and average sales prices continue to rise ( May 2013 to May 2014) by 4.3% and 8.9% respectively, compared to April’s 6.1% and 3.8%.   While still positive numbers, the rate of appreciation appears to be slowing.

The inventory of available homes for sale jumped by 20.4% from last year.  This is now the eighth month of increased inventory.  This increase is a direct result of rising prices as many home sellers have been waiting on the side lines for improved values.  I suspect that the reduced rate of increasing values and home sales are a direct result of the increasing inventory.  Currently, there are just not enough buyers to absorb this increase fully.  Though with only a 5.7 months supply of inventory, this is still a healthy and balanced market. (2013 had a 5 month supply)

April 2014 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos

The April 2014 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos as reported by Florida Realtors is a segment of the market that is not doing well this year. Most measured values are showing declines year to year.  Closed sales were down by 5.9% (was down by 21.3% in March) while new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 4.6% (was  down by 9.9% in March).  The decrease in pending sales is much less than last month which is at least a small positive.

The median sales price was down by 34.1% (up 21.1% in March) and the average sales price decreased by 2.3% (was up by 7.4% in March).  This is the first month we’ve seen a decrease in values.  Lack of supply and demand are both factors for this as was the torrid price rises from last year.

The inventory of available townhouses and condos decreased by 48 units from last month to 856 units which is down by 5.3% from last April.  Current supply of inventory decrease to 8.4 months from the 9.6 month supply in March and is 4.5% lower from last year.   This is a buyers market at present.

April 2014 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos

April 2014 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos continues with reduced activity from last year, though still in a healthy range with a balanced blend of supply and demand.  Year to year closed sales were down by 12.2% (was down by 29.9% in March) while new sales under contract (new pending sales) was unchanged from April 2013 (was down 9% in March).

The median sales price increased by 11.3% (was up by 7.4% in March) while the average sales price increased by 11.3% (was down 11% in March) as compared to April of 2013.  Interestingly, prices continue to rise with momentum in the condo and townhouse segment of the market.

 The inventory of available townhouses and condos has decreased by 17 to 579 units from last month which is also 10.2% less inventory than was available in April of 2013.  With values going up as much as they have, I would have expected higher inventory levels.  The current supply of inventory is 5.8 months (a 13.1% decrease from last year).   Though down in volume from last year, this is still a balanced market that favors neither the buyer nor the seller.

April 2014 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes

The April 2014 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes improved from a slow March though activity only slightly improved from last year.  Year to year closed sales were up by only 0.5% (was down 14.7% in March). New pending sales decreased by 9.1% as compared to April of 2013 (increased by 17.5% in March).  The decrease in pending sales is a bit troubling as it’s the main indicator of potential future closed sales.

The median sales price was up by 12.6% from last year (up by 4% in March) while the average price dropped by 19.3% (was down by 25.1% last month).  This is a dramatic indication of the continued strong activity for the lower price ranges and a slower sales volume in the higher end luxury market.

The inventory of available single family homes decreased from March 2014 by 29 homes to 1,398 units this month, representing a 15% increase from last April.  Current supply of inventory remains unchanged from last month at 7.5 months (a 4.8% increase from last year).  Hovering just outside of a balanced market for now with a slight advantage for buyers.

April 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

For the April 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos for the state of Florida the rate of activity has slowed some, but is now a much healthier market than last years super heated activity.  Year to year closed sales were down by 5.1% as compared to last months decrease of 5.2% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 11% (March’s decrease was 6.2%).

Both median and average sales prices were up (year to year) by 9.8% and 10.6% respectively (in March it was 16.7% and 16.1%). These strong price appreciations is what I suspect is the cause of the decrease in market activity for condos and townhouses in Florida for April, though it is a strong balanced market at this time.

Inventory rose for the seventh month in a row, by 9.3%.  The rising inventory is producing some pressure to moderate the price increases.  This should help continue a strong momentum for sales activity.  The 6 month supply of inventory is a good sign that we are in a balanced market.

The inventory of available homes for sale jumped by 18% from last year.  This is now the seventh month of increased inventory.  This increase is a direct result of rising prices as many home sellers have been waiting on the side lines for improved values.  I suspect that the reduced rate of increasing values and home sales are a direct result of the increasing inventory.  Currently, there are just not enough buyers to absorb this increase fully.  Though with only a 5.7 months supply of inventory, this is still a healthy and balanced market.

March 2014 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos

The March 2014 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos as reported by Florida Realtors showed a continuing trend of disappointing results for volume of sales after a good start to the year in January.  Year to year closed sales were down by 21.3% (was down by 8.2% in February) while new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 9.9% (was  down by 28.2% in February).  The decrease in pending sales is much less than last month which is at least a small positive.  Much of this decrease can be attributed to a decrease in inventory from last year as well as the rapidly increasing prices.

The median sales price up by 21.1% (up 15% in February) and the average sales price increased by 7.4% (was up by 14.4% in February).

The inventory of available townhouses and condos decreased by 6 units from last month to 895 units which is still down by 13.1% from last March.  Current supply of inventory remained inched up from last month to 9.6 months (a 0.3% increase from last year).   This is a buyers market at present and will most likely continue until inventory increases and price rises moderate to a more sustainable rate.

March 2014 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos

March 2014 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos report showed continued disappointing results as to both last year and the past few months.  Year to year closed sales were down by 29.9% (was down by 1% in February) while new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 9% (was down 27% in February).

The median sales price increased by 7.4% (was up by 17.6% in February) while the average sales price decreased by 11% (was up 20.6% in February) as compared to March of 2013.  As the price increases moderate, I would expect to see some increased volume of closed and pending sales for the future.

 The inventory of available townhouses and condos has decreased by 39 to 596 units from last month which is 13.2% less inventory than was available in March of 2013.  With values going up as much as they have, I would have expected higher inventory levels.  The current supply of inventory is 6.2 months (a 16.5% decrease from last year).   Though down in volume from last year, this is still a balanced market that favors neither the buyer nor the seller.

March 2014 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes

The March 2014 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes is showing some slower growth and even retracting in some areas (much like many other areas in FL this month).  Year to year closed sales were off by 14.7% (was up 10.8% in February). New pending sales increased by 17.5% as compared to March of 2013 (decreased by 30.4% in February).  An increase in the pending sales indicates a good possibility of better closed activity for the near future

The median sales price was up by 4% from last year (up by 5.7% in February) while the average price dropped by 25.1% (was down by 18.3% last month).  This is a dramatic indication of the continued activity for the lower price ranges and a slower sales volume in the higher end luxury market.

The inventory of available single family homes increased from February 2014 by 61 homes to 1,429 units this month, representing a 12.2% increase from last March.  Current supply of inventory rose to 7.5 months (a 2.9% decrease from last year).  Hovering just outside of a balanced market for now with a slight advantage for buyers.

March 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

For the March 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos for the state of Florida continues to struggle in volume as the prices have soared. It appears that the prices have risen much to fast for consumer demand to keep up.  Year to year closed sales were down by 5.2% as compared to last months decrease of 6.8% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 6.2% (February’s decrease was 14.5%).

Both median and average sales prices were up (year to year) by 16.7% and 16.1% respectively (in February it was 15.2% and 13.9%). These strong price appreciations is what I suspect is the cause of the decrease in market activity for condos and townhouses in Florida for March.

Inventory rose for the fifth month in a row, by 7%.  The rising inventory should produce some pressure to moderate the price increases.  This should help regain the momentum of sales.  The 6 month supply of inventory is a good sign that we are in a balanced market.

March 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

The March 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes as reported by Florida Realtors showed improved results from last month, but still not nearly as robust as last year.    Year to year closed sales were up, but only by 2.8% (was up by 1.5% in February) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 2.1% (was down by 5.5% in February).

Both median and average sales prices were up ( March 2013 to March 2014) by 7.1% and 6.3% respectively, compared to February’s 10% and 11%.   While still very positive numbers, the rate of appreciation appears to be slowing.

The inventory of available homes for sale increased by 16.8% from last year.  This is now the sixth month of increased inventory.  This increase is a direct result of rising prices as many home sellers have been waiting on the side lines for improved values.  I suspect that the reduced rate of increasing values and home sales are a direct result of the increasing inventory.  Currently, there are just not enough buyers to absorb this increase fully.

February 2014 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos

The February 2014 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos as reported by Florida Realtors once again showed some disappointing results after a good start to the year in January.  Year to year closed sales were down by 8.2% (was up by 12.3% in January) while new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 28.2% (was  down by 9.1% in January).  This decreased volume is concerning.  Most of it, I suspect, is from the rapid price increases this past year, though with this month, this appears to be easing as well.

The median sales price up by 15% (up 4.3% in January) and the average sales price dropped by 14.4% (was up by an impressive 45.2% in January).

The inventory of available townhouses and condos decreased by 10 units from last month to 901 units which is still down by 8.1% from last February.  Current supply of inventory remained unchanged from last month to 9.4 months (still an 4.6% decrease from last year).   This is a buyers market at present and the lower prices will most likely continue until inventory and closed sales pick up.
