Hobe Sound FL 33455 Condo Market Report July 2015

The Hobe Sound condo market (Zip Code 33455) is the smallest segment of the Martin County real estate market.  I may have to stop reporting on Hobe Sound condos if we don’t get more inventory in the next few months.  We are down now to only 3 active listings.  This is the lowest inventory I’ve ever seen in Hobe Sound or any other segment of the Martin County real estate market since we’ve been looking at the data.

The current absorption rate is 3 months (Last month it was 1.3 months). The statistics within this segment should be taken with a grain of salt, as small changes in activity make for very large changes on percentages that July not reflect a true trend in the market. An absorption rate of 6 to 7 months is considered to be a balanced market favoring neither the buyer or seller.

The July 2014 numbers were: 17 active listings, 4 pending sales and 2 closed sales.  Better closed activity last year, but we still have more pending sales this year.

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

07.25.15 by

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!

Hobe Sound FL 33455 Condo Market Report March 2015

The Hobe Sound condo market (Zip Code 33455) is the smallest segment of the Martin County real estate market.  Inventory is at the lowest level that I have seen for Hobe Sound condos ever.  We have a greater number of pending sales than we have active listings!

The current absorption rate is 2 months (Last month it was 6.3 months). The statistics within this segment should be taken with a grain of salt, as small changes in activity make for very large changes on percentages that March not indicate a true trend in the market. An absorption rate of 6 to 7 months is considered to be a balanced market favoring neither the buyer or seller.

The March 2014 numbers were: 22 active listings, 7 pending sales and 3 closed sales.  Much stronger activity this year, especially as a percentage of activity when compared to available listings.
