Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for July 2013

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for July 2013

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Residential Market for July 2013 continues to produce better results as compared to recent years.   For July 2013, the inventory dropped below 1,000 homes for the first time since July of 2005.    Hopefully, this is only a seasonal reaction to the market as we approach the slower selling season in this area of Florida.  Should inventory levels remain this low, sales numbers will decline as buyers will have difficulty finding suitable housing.  New home sales are one relief to this inventory issue and we currently have a number of builders and communities with new home offerings.

Both median and average sales prices declined in July from last month, but are still improved year to year.  The one month absorption rate for July 2013 increased to 5.3 months (from 4.72 months in June), and the three-month average is 4.91 months.  A 6 month absorption rate is considered to be a balanced market, so we continue to be in a sellers market in Martin County.  It’s not unusual to see slower activity as we go into fall and the holiday season.

We’ve had a very good run in the market to date this year.  There are a few storm clouds on the horizon, though.  Mainly higher interest rates and a very uncertain economy.  Recent issues with the quality of our rivers as well as rising flood insurance rates are also impacting our higher end sales in the county.

The 34990 zip code area of Palm City condo market is a fairly small section of this area as most property in Palm City is either single family homes or town homes.  Thus making meaningful market comparisons somewhat difficult as small changes can have a great effect on the percentages and results.  Both pending and closed sales were off this month compared to June as well as another month with decreasing inventory.
 
The current absorption rate for condos in the 34990 zip code area rose to 8.3 months.  Drifting back into a buyers market, as a balanced market is considered to be an absorption rate of around 6 months.
 
The July 2012 numbers were: 62 active listings, 7 pending sales and 1 closed sales.   Even with the significantly lower number of active condo listings, this year’s activity is much better.

The Palm City, zip code 34990, area of Martin County Florida continues to have impressive market activity.  But, the inventory is getting to levels that are starting to effect year to year numbers.  For the month, sales were up by 1 home while the pending sales decreased by 9. 
 
The current absorption rate remained steady at 5.5 months, which still indicates a slight sellers market.  A 6 month absorption rate is typically considered a balanced market that doesn’t favor either sellers or buyers.

The July 2012 numbers were:  416 active listings, 169 pending sales and 63 closed sales.   Closed sales outperformed last years volume, but pendings are now off slightly.  I expect slower activity if the inventory continues to drop.

A second slower month of activity for the Stuart condo market for the area in ZIP code 34997.  Still, activity remains strong for the ‘off’ season for Florida.  We need increased inventory for this market to get back to the fast pace we saw this spring.

Activity eased for the second month in a row for the Stuart Florida Market Report ZIP Code 34997.  Inventory remained basically unchanged while both pending and closed sales saw decreases.  This is still a sellers market for now, but if this trend continues we will probably see a more balanced market in the next few months.

Fairly consistent activity for the Stuart Florida Market Report ZIP Code 34996 for Condos for July 2013.   Both pending and closed sales remained steady with only a 1 unit increase and decrease respectively.  Another decrease in inventory, which is pretty normal as many condo owners feel that the summer market is not the prime time to sell condos.  Though, history has proven this to be quite wrong, as the decreased competition normally results in much greater showing activity and a better chance of a sale.

The current absorption rate for the Stuart Florida Market Report ZIP Code 34996 – Condo rose slightly to 11 months. Still  a fairly significant buyers market for July of 2013.  A balanced market is considered to occur when the absorption rate is 6 months.

Closed sales were up by 4 homes in the 34994 ZIP code area of the Stuart, Florida.   Available homes for sale (Inventory) rose by 1 unit.   Pending sales dropped (second month in a row).   With such a low inventory of available homes plus the off season, we can expect a little slower activity in this market.  If the overall economy continues to improve and prices continue to rise, I will be expecting rising inventories as well for the coming season.

The one month absorption rate for the 34994 zip code for July dropped further to 3.7 months. signifying a strong sellers market.  A 6 month absorption rate is considered a balanced market where neither the seller nor buyer have an advantage.  If you are contemplating placing your home up for sale in the 34994 zip code area of Stuart, FL, now is a good time.  Please call me for details of why this is so.

The July 2012 numbers were 62 Active Listings, 53 pending sales and 16 closed sales.  We’re doing well as compared to last year.  The largest drop this year is in pending sales as the number of short sales are slowly being closed and taken off the market.  These short sales have been inflating the pending numbers for the past couple of years.

The Sewalls Point residential real estate market for July 2013 eased off from the strong gains made in the first half of 2013.    The inventory is down again to only 47 homes available for sale and both future (pending) sales as well as closed sales showed decreases from last month.  Slower activity during the summer months is not an unexpected event, as we need to look at the trends for the entire year to get a true picture of the local real estate market.

The absorption rate jumped to 15.7 months.  A strong 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 July of 2012, the inventory was 56 homes on the market, 14 pending sales and there were 5 closed sales.  Unfortunately, this year’s numbers are weaker than July 2012 results.

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for June 2013

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for June 2013

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Condo Market for June 2013 was strong, though it retreated considerably from the excellent April numbers.   85 condos sold in June (compared to 128 in April).   Better numbers, year to year, but not excellent.  The inventory of available condos dropped again (fifth month in a row) to only 544 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 April, 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 increased to 6.4 months from last months 4.46 months, while the three-month average is now at 5.71 months.  Basically a balanced market for the time being.  Generally an absorption rate of 6 or 7 months is considered a balanced market.

The low inventory rates and rising interest rates are troubling and could possibly have a negative effect on the condo market recovery.

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for June 2013

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for June 2013

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Residential Market for June 2013 continues to outpace recent years with continued strong sales activity.   For June, we had a slight rise in inventory (to 1,015 units) which is a positive sign as we need inventory for this market to continue to improve.  Closed sales increased from May and were also considerably better than last June’s numbers.  All signs of a good healthy recovery.

Both median and average sales prices rose in June and are much improved over last year’s prices as indicated in the graphs below.  The one month absorption rate for June 2013 decreased slightly to 4.72 months (from 4.74 months in May), and the three-month average stands at 4.66 months.  A 6 month absorption rate is considered to be a balanced market, so we are officially in a a sellers market in Martin County.  As late summer and fall approaches, we typically can expect a small decline in activity.

It appears that there is some improvement in the economy that is leading to a more positive outlook in consumer confidence.  While there is still much room for improvement, we are currently trending in the right direction.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any difficulty interpreting these charts.

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.
