Florida Townhouses and Condos November 2016 Market Detail

The Florida Townhouses and Condos Market Detail for November 2016 showed gains for the month as compared to both the previous year and the previous month.   Closed sales were up by 4.1% as compared to last months decrease of 12.3% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 2.3% (In October there was a 14.5% decrease).

Values, also, continued to increase though at a more moderate pace.  Median sales prices were up by 8% (was up by 8.1% in October), while the average sales price increased by 4.5% (was up 0.5% in October).  As sales activity decreases and if inventory continues to increase, I expect these prices to continue to moderate, though they are staying pretty resilient at this time.

The inventory increased by 13% from November of last year.  For October 2016 we have 6.1 months of inventory (was  5.9 months in October) and compared to 5.4 for November 2015.  We are now in a balanced market for Florida townhouse and condo sales. A balanced market favoring neither buyers or sellers is considered to be one with a 6 to 7 month supply of inventory.

Prices continue to increase quite strongly with the median price up by 11.9% (was up by 6.5% in September) while the average sales price increased by 13.4% (was up by 5.9% in September).  I don’t expect these price increases to be quite so strong in future months if sales activity continues to slow.

St Lucie County Single Family Homes October 2016 Market Detail

St Lucie County Single Family Homes Market Detail for October 2016 continues to have reduced sales activity from last year.  Closed sales were down by 24.5% (in September they were down by 6.6%) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 8.9% (they were down by 11.5% last month).

Prices, however, continue their upward march at strong rates.  The median and average sales prices up by 12.0% and 13.4% respectively from last October (For September these numbers were up 10.0% and 10.6%).  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 14 homes to 1,685 homes.  This inventory is 8.2% higher than last year.  The current supply of homes is at 3.8 months (3.4 months for October of 2015)  This is 11.8% greater than last year.  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.

Florida Townhouses and Condos October 2016 Market Detail

Florida Townhouses and Condos October 2016 Market Detail

The Florida Townhouses and Condos Market Detail for October 2016 showed continued weakness as compared to last year for sales.   Closed sales were down by 12.3% as compared to last months decrease of 3.9% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 14.5% (In September there was a 5% decrease).

Values, however, continued to increase though at a more moderate pace.  Median sales prices were up by 8.1% (was up by 6.7% in September), while the average sales price increased by 0.5% (was down 2.9% in September).  As sales activity decreases and if inventory continues to increase, I expect these prices to continue to moderate.

The inventory increased by 8.2% from October of last year.  For September 2016 we have 5.9 months of inventory (was  5.8 months in September) and compared to 5.3 for October 2015.  We are approaching a balanced market for Florida townhouse and condo sales. A balanced market favoring neither buyers or sellers is considered to be one with a 6 to 7 month supply of inventory.

Florida Single Family Homes October 2016 Market Detail

The Florida Single Family Homes Market Detail for October 2016 showed weaker sales activity from last year.  Closed sales were down by 5.3% (was down by 0.5% in September) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) were down by 7.1% (was down by 4.8% in September).

Both the median and average sales prices, though, continue to rise from October 2015 to October 2016.  Up by 11.7% and 6.4% respectively, compared to September’s 11.3% and 6.8%.  I continue to predict the rate of price increases to moderate in the near future if sales continue to slow and  this should also result in a rise of inventory.

The inventory of available homes for sale fell by 3.2% from last year.  For October there was only a 4.2 months supply of inventory as Florida remains in a sellers market with the advantage for sellers. (October of 2015 had a 4.3 month supply)  A balanced market favoring neither buyers or sellers is considered to be one with a 6 to 7 month supply of inventory.
