Sewalls Point Single Family Market Report July 2015

The Sewalls Point single family homes market continues to face some challenging volume of sales, though there were some excellent closings on the higher end of the market for June.  Also, a nice decrease in inventory will bring back some activity for the near future to Sewalls Point.

The current absorption rate dropped to 11.6 months, in June it was 20.3 months. Still plenty of room for improvement.  A 6 to 7 month absorption rate is considered a balanced market where neither the seller nor buyer have an advantage.

Comparing the results to July of 2014, the inventory was 48 homes on the market, 13 pending sales and there were 5 closed sales.  Other than a larger inventory, last years sales activity is almost identical to this year.

U.S. Report & Our Treasure Coast Real Estate Investment Outlook

U.S. Report & Our Treasure Coast Real Estate Investment Outlook

 

Last week’s reporting showed the same kind of upward movement that’s become commonplace for Treasure Coast real estate investment news watchers. A standout: Corelogic’s finding that national home prices in May increased by 6.3%, marking the 39th consecutive monthly year-over-year increase.

Actually, to a lot of us, that looked stronger than expected: the steady increase in U.S. sale prices had seemed to have leveled off in the 5% range for the most part…Corelogic’s own Chief Economist had prognosticated, “We expect house prices in our national index to be up about 5 percent in the next 12 months” just 30 days ago.

Those who track U.S. real estate investment performance for its Stuart FL implications, two other interesting observations were noteworthy. First, even including distressed sales, prices have now risen to within 8.4% of the April 2006 peak—what is generally considered an unsustainable “bubble.” Yet it’s impossible to find any expert who believes the current price levels are indicative of anything of the kind; nor that the expected continuing rises would expose those making residential real estate investments to equivalent risk levels. Except in a very few localities, there is scarcely any “bubble” speculation to be found—even as national price increases continue to outpace inflation.

Part of the reason is that supply continues to be tight; distressed property sales continue to decline; and overall U.S. economic conditions are perceived to be improving, however gradually. Corelogic also keeps track of sales and momentum for different price ranges, which perform differently, as real estate investment analysts know. The lowest-priced tier, which represents to most modestly priced 25% of homes, has now actually surpassed its pre-crisis peak…and the highest end of luxury residences (the top 25%) are within 5.7% of their peak.

The second point made in last week’s reporting was continuing good news for those whose real estate investment portfolios include rental properties. Apartment vacancy rates “are down to their lowest level since the 1980s” according to Economist Frank Nothaft. “Rents are up, and apartment building values are at or above their prior peaks.”

The robust performance wasn’t confined to multiple-unit housing, either. Following the housing crash—between 2006 and 2013—3,000,000 detached single family homes were added to the nation’s rental stock. They now make up 40% of the market. In terms of their real estate investment performance, the combination of rising rental rates and shrinking vacancy rates are exactly what investors hope to see. For regular homeowners, too—even those with no plans to sell anytime soon—those 39 straight months of steady price appreciation is comforting news. And if you are watching this summer’s Treasure Coast real estate listings for the investment opportunities they represent, I hope you’ll give me a call!

The current absorption rate dropped to 13.2 months, in March it was 24 months. Much improved from last month, but still a buyer’s market.  A 6 to 7 month absorption rate is considered a balanced market where neither the seller nor buyer have an advantage.

Comparing the results to April of 2014, the inventory was 58 homes on the market, 13 pending sales and there were 5 closed sales.  Other than 1 additional closed sale this year, last years activity was better when considering the lower inventory.

The Sewalls Point single family homes market activity for December 2014 continues to struggle, though there were three luxury sales in December for the high end market.  While this is an improvement from the summer months, there’s still plenty of room for growth.  Closed sales were down by 1 home while the inventory rose bu 1 also.  Pending sales remained unchanged.

The current absorption rate is 11.6 months, in September it was 9.5 months.  Sewalls Point remains a buyers market for December.  A 6 to 7 month absorption rate is considered a balanced market where neither the seller nor buyer have an advantage.

Comparing the results to December of 2013, the inventory was 43 homes on the market, 8 pending sales and there were 5 closed sales.  Identical numbers for closed and pending sales from last year, but this was with a lower number of available homes.

The Sewalls Point single family homes market activity for July 2014 had the same number of closed sales as in June (and May).  The pending numbers rose slightly, while the available inventory is down for the third month in a row.  Activity for the Sewalls Point market has increased, though the decrease in inventory could be troubling for future sales.

The absorption rate is currently 9.6 months better than last months 10.6 but still of room for improvement. It’s not unusual to see a somewhat higher absorption rate for Sewalls Point as we are dealing with generally higher valued properties that can take a bit longer to sell on average.  A 6 to 7 month absorption rate is considered a balanced market where neither the seller nor buyer have an advantage.

Comparing the results to July of 2013, the inventory was 47 homes on the market, 7 pending sales and there were 3 closed sales.  Much better results for July of 2014.

March 2014 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos

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.

February 2014 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos

February 2014 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos report showed some disappointing results as to volume of activity, though prices continued to soar.  Year to year closed sales were down by 1% (was up by 4.3% in January) while new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 27% (was down 20.9% in January).

The median sales price increased by 17.6% (was up by 15.2% in January) while the average sales price increased by 20.6% (was up 15.2% in January) as compared to February of 2013.  These large price increases are most likely responsible for the drop in volume as many buyers are simply being priced out of the market.

 The inventory of available townhouses and condos has decreased by 3 to 635 units from last month which is 15% less inventory than was available in February of 2013.  With values going up as much as they have, I would have expected higher inventory levels.  The current supply of inventory is 6.4 months (a 24.4% decrease from last year).

Stuart Florida Market Report ZIP Code 34997 Residential November 2013

Mostly positive signs from the Stuart Florida Market Report ZIP Code 34997 residential real estate market.  Unlike many other areas of Martin County the 34997 zip code had a significant rise in inventory in the past two months.  Closed sales were also up.  The only point of some concern was a drop in pending activity for November.
 
The current one month absorption rate dropped to 5.6 months making this segment of the Stuart residential market once again a seller’s market (up from last months 6.15 month absorption rate).  Typically a balanced market, favoring neither the seller or buyer, is represented by a 6 to 7 month absorption rate.  
 
The 2012 numbers were: 359 active listings, 191 pending listings and 44 closed sales.   Interestingly there’s a significantly higher inventory for this segment of the Martin County real estate market.  Closed activity is much higher for this year.  While the number of potential future sales (pending inventory) is a bit worrisome this month.

The Sewalls Point residential real estate market is having a slow summer.   For September 2013 sales were down significantly as only 2 homes sold.  Pending sales were up by 1 home, though still not a very high number.  We are into the slower months of our real estate market and there is also a lot of unease with the current economy, so we will hope for an increase in activity soon.  Though it may not happen till after the holidays.

The absorption rate jumped dramatically to 24.5 months.  Once again into a buyers market.  A 6 month absorption rate is considered a balanced market where neither the seller nor buyer have an advantage.

Comparing the results to September of 2012, the inventory was 50 homes on the market, 20 pending sales and there were 3 closed sales.  The biggest difference from last year is the much lower pending inventory in 2013.  Not a good sign for sales in the immediate future.Sewalls Point Residential Market Snapshot for Sept 2013

July 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

July 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

The July 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos for the state of Florida showed excellent activity after a bit of easing in June.   Year to year closed sales were up by 16.8% as compared to last months decrease of 2.5% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 20.7% (June’s increase was 14.2%).

Both median and average sales prices were up (year to year) by 21.9% and 21.7% respectively (higher than June’s). 

One item of concern is the active inventory which has decreased again, for July by 17.5%.  The reduced inventory will eventually result in lower sales volume as there just isn’t enough homes available for sale.  This will also result in strong upward pressure on prices and at some point renewed activity in new construction.  If prices rise to a level where currently underwater home owners can see a profit or even a break even price, I will expect a gradual increase in inventory.

June 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

The positive trend from the spring has slowed for the June 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos for the entire state of Florida.   Year to year closed sales were off by 2.5% as compared to last months increase of 18.7% and while new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 14.2% (May’s increase was 30.8%).

Both median and average sales prices were up (June 2012 to June 2013) by 18.2% and 13.9% respectively (higher than May’s). 

One item of concern is the active inventory which has decreased by 20%.  The reduced inventory will eventually result in lower sales volume as there just isn’t enough homes available for sale.  This will also result in strong upward pressure on prices and at some point renewed activity in new construction.  If prices rise to a level where currently underwater home owners can see a profit or even a break even price, I will expect a gradual increase in inventory.

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for April 2013

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for April 2013

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Condo Market for April 2013 had one of the strongest months in recent history.  After disappointing results from much of the fall season, sales numbers for April were up to 128 units.  This is the highest monthly sales number since I started recording this data in January of 2004.  The inventory of available condos dropped again (fourth month in a row) to only 571 condos.  This low number is beginning to effect prices and at long last it appears that condo prices are starting to rise.   The median sales price was down compared to March, but this is a reflection of the larger number of lower priced condos that sold this month, rather than decreasing value.  Summer is upon us and typically the condo market slows down during the summer months.

The one month absorption rate dipped to 4.46 months from last months 6.93 months, while the three-month average is now at 6.32 months.  A considerably improved condo market after many years of stagnant results.  We have now slipped into a slight sellers market for certain segments of Martin County’s condo sales.  Generally an absorption rate of 6 or 7 months is considered a balanced market.

This summer will be very interesting.  If we don’t have an increase in inventory and buyers remain active, I expect some fairly good price gains.

 The Definition of Absorption Rate:
Number of months it takes to sell the current inventory at the present rate of sales. Knowing your area’s Absorption Rate, helps to track trends. Understanding the market and where it is headed is part of our job as real estate professionals. Absorption rate is NOT an exact science. Figuring it is based on the premise that one will be looking for a TREND. It is advised to consistently do the numbers each month, to be able to track a trend.

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for March 2013

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for March 2013

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Condo Market for March 2013 also showed excellent activity for March of 2013.  After disappointing results from much of the fall season, sales numbers for March were up to 84 units.  The last March that had a higher sales volume was back in 2005.  The inventory continues to decline.  Now down to 582 condos (Down 69 units from March of 2012).  This is the third month of decreasing inventory after 3 months of increases.  The median sales price jumped dramatically to $142,500 from $88,250 last month (and 103,500 in March of 2012).   While the median list price rose modestly to $189,450.  These numbers are a little misleading as it appears that prices have stabilized in the condo market.  There have been a relatively greater number of lower priced condos sold which is driving the median sales prices down.  As the inventory continues to decrease, pressure will be on for prices to rise.

The one month absorption rate dipped to 6.93 months from last months 9.15 months, while the three-month average is now at 9.5 months.  A considerably improved condo market after many years of stagnant results.  We are now very close to a balanced market  for condos in Martin County.  Generally an absorption rate of 6 or 7 months is considered a balanced market.
