February 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

For the February 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos for the state of Florida activity slowed considerably as compared to last year.  Hopefully, this is just a one month issue.   Year to year closed sales were down by 6.8% as compared to last months increase of 9.3% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 14.5% (January’s decrease was 6%). 

Both median and average sales prices were up (year to year) by 15.2% and 13.9% respectively (in January it was 17% and 21%).  I suspect that these very strong price gains are what is now slowing the sales activity as many buyers are simply being priced out of the market.

Inventory rose for the fourth month in a row, by 3.7%.  The rising inventory should produce some pressure to moderate the price increases.  This should help regain the momentum of sales.

St Lucie County Townhouse and Condo Sales 2013 Yearly Review

For the St Lucie County Townhouse and Condo Sales 2013 Yearly Review indicated strong activity but at a reduced volume as compared to 2012.  Year to year closed sales were up by 7.5% as compared to 2012 which saw an increase of 24.2% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 30.9% (2012 saw a n increase of 38.6%).

Both median and average sales prices were up (year to year) by 26.2% and 16.1% respectively (2012 numbers were 18.5% and 14.7%).  Very significant gains that may explain why the reduced volume of sales for this year as townhouses and condos become less affordable.

November 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

For the first time in a while the inventory crept up slightly by 1.3%.  The reduced inventory is what is making prices rise as well as keeping sales volume down.  I expect both inventory and sales volume to increase in the coming year if the economic news continues to be positive.

November 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

October 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

The October 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos for the state of Florida continues to show gains though not as robust as they were earlier in the year.  Year to year closed sales were up by 3.1% as compared to last months increase of 11.4% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 3.6% (September’s increase was 4.6%).

Both median and average sales prices were up (year to year) by 22.1% and 12% respectively.

One item of concern is the active inventory which has decreased again (though slightly), for October by .09%.  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.
