August 2016 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Single Family Homes

August 2016 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Single Family Homes showed some improvement in closed sales from last month and last year while new pending sales are still down from last year.  Closed sales were up by 8.3% (in July they were down by 9.0%) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 15.1% (they were down by 10.0% last month).

Though, prices continue their upward march at very strong rates.  The median and average sales prices up by 18.7% and 20.2% respectively from last August (For July these numbers were 13.0% and 15.2%).  While these are very good results for sellers, they make me a little nervous as rates of increase this high may result in lower affordability of homes and subsequently less sales in the future.

Active listings increased by 137 homes to 1,614 homes.  This inventory is 9.6% higher than last year.  The current supply of homes is at 3.6 months (3.3 months for August of 2015). The St Lucie County single family home market remains in a very strong sellers market.  A balanced market is one with a 6 to 7 month supply of inventory.

August 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

The August 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes rebounded a bit from last month.  Closed sales were up by 8.2% (was down by 8.0% in July) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) were down by 1.1% (was down by 9.6% in July).

Homes in the Meadows

The Meadows came into existence through the efforts of local developer Peter Cumming who submitted the plans for the community around 1988.  Shortly thereafter, Burg and DiVosta (soon to be just DiVosta) began developing the land in the area called Martin Downs for the soon to be constructed villages of The Meadows.

Homes in the Meadows

Divosta started construction on the site known as The Meadows in 1988 by building two structures from which to sell. One was a Single Family home (Hampton) in what is now known as Greenwich Village, and the other was a four unit Town Home building (Stamford) in what is now known as Lakemont Village. Both types of homes were started in The Meadows at about the same time in 1988.  DiVosta completed the Meadows in 1993 and turned the administration and running of the community to The Meadows Homeowners Association which runs the community through elected officers as well as a full time support staff.

HOA fees in the meadows vary by the type of home, so please look at the listing details view when checking available Meadows homes for sale.  The Meadows is not age restricted and currently allows up to 2 large pets.  Rentals are also allowed with some restrictions.

Children currently attend the Bessey Creek Elementary School, the Hidden Oaks Middle School; and the Martin County High School.

The July 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes had a reduced volume of sales when compared to last July, while prices continue to rise.  Closed sales were down by 8.0% (was up by 0.4% in June) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) were down by 9.6% (was down by 7.7% in June).

The inventory of available homes for sale fell by 3.3% from last year.  This is another trend that I think may reverse in the near future as more homes may come on the market while fewer sell.  For July there was only a 4.3 months supply of inventory as Florida remains in a sellers market with the advantage for sellers.

The June 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes continues to be a strong market but activity is easing a bit from previous months.  Closed sales were up by 0.4% (was up by 4.5% in May) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) were down by 7.7% (was down by 2.7% in May).

Both median and average sales prices continue to rise ( June 2015 to June 2016) by 10.8% and 6.8% respectively, compared to May’s 10.5% and 4.2%.  These strong price gains will end up having an impact on future activity as many homes are now becoming much too pricey for the average buyer.

The inventory of available homes for sale fell by 2.8% from last year.  Higher demand areas of Florida have seen decreasing inventory for more than three years now.  For June there was only a 4.3 months supply of inventory as Florida remains in a sellers market with the advantage for sellers.

The April 2016 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes showed lower closed sales from last years numbers and a continued decrease in inventory.  Year to year closed sales were down by 4.3% (was up 3.4% in March).

April 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

The April 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes shows continued strong activity but less robust than last year primarily because of reduced inventory and strong price increases.  Closed sales were down by 0.6% (was also down by 0.6% in March) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) were down by 4.2% (was down by 6.3% in March).

Both median and average sales prices continue to rise ( April 2015 to April 2016) by 9.2% and 3.8% respectively, compared to March’s 10.3% and 4.9%.  These year to year price increases remain very strong, and in my opinion, unsustainable for the long run.  But, for now, these increases show no signs of abating.

The inventory of available homes for sale fell by 23% from last year.  Higher demand areas of Florida have seen decreasing inventory for more than three years now.  For April there was only a 4.5 months supply of inventory as Florida remains in a sellers market with the advantage for sellers. (April of 2015 had a 4.8 month supply)  A balanced market favoring neither buyers or sellers is considered to be one with a 6 to 7 month supply of inventory.
