Residential Market Report for September 2010 in Martin County, Florida

The Martin County Residential Market Reports sales data of single family homes and townhomes as reported by the Realtor Association of Martin County.

Sales of residential units in Martin County were sluggish for September with a small decrease in volume from August and a little larger decrease from last year.  Inventory which has risen for the past three months showed a small decline.

On a positive note, the average sales price has risen.  In a careful analysis of sales this rise is from the increased number of sales of higher end homes rather than increases in values of existing homes.  For the middle to lower end of our market, prices have stabilized for those homes that have been updated and presented well.

Residential Market Report for August 2010 in Martin County, Florida

The Martin County Residential Market Reports sales data of single-family homes and townhomes as reported by the Realtor Association of Martin County.

Sales for single-family units in Martin County for August were down to 117 units as compared to July’s disappointing 145 units and last August’s 156 units.  It appears that we are seeing some reduced demand as a result of the end of the federal home buyer’s tax credit, a weak economy that has many would-be buyers (especially of second homes) nervous and waiting on the sidelines and also normal seasonal reduced activity.

After a fairly strong spring with stabilizing prices, it appears that both median and average prices took a slide in August reflecting the weaker demand and continued oversupply of available homes.  Unlike the Condo segment of the market, single-family home inventory has risen now for the fourth month in a row as those that were trying to time this market reacted to the strong spring sales, but as with most that try to time the market, have reacted a bit to slow and late.  Interest rates have also made some small increases of late that could further negatively affect the market.

Martin County Residential Market Update

Below are the latest charts for Martin County Residential (Single Family) real estate statistics as reported by the Realtor Association of Martin County.

The Definition of Absorption Rate:
Number of weeks 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. The 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.

Our inventory continues to decline and prices have leveled off and in certain isolated neighborhoods have begun to rise. We may very well be past the bottom. Careful monitoring of future trend data will give us the answers.

January 2007 Market Update

Martin County escaped the slowdown in home sales experienced across the rest of the Treasure Coast during January, but not the continued slide in prices.

Realtors sold 93 homes, the same number as in January 2006, according to figures provided Tuesday by the Martin County Realtors Association. The median home price dropped to $296,000 from $310,000 between the two months, the association said.

Martin County’s report was a positive indictor for the market, said Jennifer Atkisson-Lovett, president of the Realtors Association of Martin County. “We are seeing our residential market begin to show signs of recovery as our number of pending sales are much better than 2006,” Atkisson-Lovett said. “We feel confident about the 2007 market as the pending sales have increased, and buyers are recognizing the outstanding values for investment that are abound in this market.”

Martin’s condominium market was mixed in January. There were 29 Realtor sales in that month versus 50 a year earlier, according to the association. The median price jumped, though, to $305,000 from $219,900 between the two months.

When lumped with the Port St. Lucie-Fort Pierce market, the housing market looked weaker. The Florida Association of Realtors said Tuesday that its members sold 252 existing single-family homes in that metropolitan area during January, down from 343 a year earlier. The median price dropped 8 percent to $241,000 from $261,500. Realtors sold 51 existing condos versus 62 in January 2005. The median price rose 6 percent to $225,000 between the two months.

“Basically, this shows that people listing their homes for sale are not marking them down to the proper market prices,” said Brad Hunter, director of the housing research firm Metrostudy in West Palm Beach. “At least there are still buyers in the market.”

Don Santos, past president of the Treasure Coast Builders Association and president of Santos Construction, said the numbers reflected that it’s still a buyer’s market. “I didn’t expect there would be a turnaround this month,” Santos said. “But I actually think the numbers are a good sign because we’re not seeing 30 percent and 35 percent drop-offs anymore. The bright side is a lot of consumers can really get good deals now.”

The West Palm Beach-Boca Raton area saw 496 sales of existing homes, down 15 percent from the 586 recorded during the same period last year. Prices dropped 1 percent to $388,000 from $393,700 last year.

Statewide, sales of single- family existing homes totaled 9, 382 last month compared to 12,906 homes sold in January 2006 for a 27 percent decrease.

Nationwide, The National Association of Realtors said sales of previously owned homes rose by 3 percent while the median price dropped to $210,600, a decline of 3.1 percent from a year ago.
