June 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

The June 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes as reported by Florida Realtors continues with improving market results, though at a bit of a slower rate than last year.  But, considerably better than a fairly slow May of 2014.  Year to year closed sales were up by 14.6% (was up by 3.6% in May) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 4.1% (was down by 0.6% in May).

Both median and average sales prices continue to rise ( June 2013 to June 2014) by 5.2% and 4.2% respectively, compared to May’s 4.3% and 8.9%.   While still positive numbers, the rate of appreciation appears to be slowing.

The inventory of available homes for sale rose by 21.7% from last year.  This is now the ninth month of increased inventory.  This increase is a direct result of rising prices as many home sellers have been waiting on the side lines for improved values.  This increase in inventory makes for greater choices and more price competition among sellers. With only a 5.6 months supply of inventory, this is a healthy market with a slight edge to sellers. (2013 had a 4.9 month supply)

May 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

The May 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes as reported by Florida Realtors showed improved results from last year, though at a much reduced pace from 2013.  Year to year closed sales were up, but only by 3.6% (was up by 4.1% in April) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 0.6% (was down by 1.1% in April).

Both median and average sales prices continue to rise ( May 2013 to May 2014) by 4.3% and 8.9% respectively, compared to April’s 6.1% and 3.8%.   While still positive numbers, the rate of appreciation appears to be slowing.

The inventory of available homes for sale jumped by 20.4% from last year.  This is now the eighth month of increased inventory.  This increase is a direct result of rising prices as many home sellers have been waiting on the side lines for improved values.  I suspect that the reduced rate of increasing values and home sales are a direct result of the increasing inventory.  Currently, there are just not enough buyers to absorb this increase fully.  Though with only a 5.7 months supply of inventory, this is still a healthy and balanced market. (2013 had a 5 month supply)

Florida Single Family Home Sales 2013 Yearly Review

January 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

The January 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes as reported by Florida Realtors began 2014 with all positive results as compared to the start of 2013.  Both closed and pending sales were up.   Year to year closed sales were up by 10.2% (was up by 8.6% in December) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 0.7% (was down by4.2% in December).

Both median and average sales prices were up ( January 2013 to January 2014) by 12.1% and 19.9% respectively.   Very good results compared to the past few months when values increased, but at a much slower rate.

The inventory of available homes for sale increased by 15% from last year.  This is now the fourth month of increased inventory.  This increase is a direct result of rising prices as many home sellers have been waiting on the side lines for improved values.  We do need to watch that inventory levels don’t rise so much as to have a negative effect on prices (law of supply and demand).  It does appear that even with the increasing inventory the traffic for the new year is quite high and I expect some strong results for next month.

December 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

The December 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes as reported by Florida Realtors ended the year with mostly positive results as compared to 2012.  Both closed and pending sales were off.   Year to year closed sales were up by 8.6% (was down by 1.2 % in November) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 4.2% (was down by 5.9% in October).

Both median and average sales prices were up (December 2012 to December 2013) by 11.4% and 3% respectively.   Not quite as much of an increase as in previous months this year, but those kinds of increases were unsustainable.

The inventory of available homes for sale increased by 11.9% from last year.  This is now the third month of increased inventory.  I’ve written in the past that I was expecting this increase which is a direct cause of the easing of the price increases as the supply expands.  It does appear that even with the increasing inventory the traffic for the new year is quite high and I expect some strong results for next month.
