June 2014 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos

June 2014 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos showed strong market movement with a more moderate rate of price changes as compared to the recent past.  Year to year closed sales were up by 11.5% (was up by 0.8% in May) while new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 19.4% from June 2013 (was down 20.8% in May).  The decrease in pending sales June be an indication of some future weakness in this market.

The median sales price increased by 3.1% (was down by 1.0% in May) while the average sales price decreased by 4.9% (was down 19.3% in May) as compared to June of 2013.  After nearly a year of pretty impressive price rises, values were off for the second month in a row.

 The inventory of available townhouses and condos has decreased by 7 to 558 units from last month which is also 1.8% less inventory than was available in June of 2013.  I continue to be surprised that inventory levels are still so low, considering that values have increased over 20% in the past year.  The current supply of inventory is 5.6 months (an 4% decrease from last year).  While still strong activity in this seller’s market, I’m a bit concerned over the decrease in both inventory and pending sales.

June 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

For the June 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos for the state of Florida, activity has decreased from last years hot pace but has improved from last month.  Year to year closed sales were up by 3.1% as compared to last months decrease of 7% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 9% (May’s decrease was 13.4%).

Both median and average sales prices were up (year to year) by 8.5% and 5.8% respectively (in May it was 13.7% and 12.7%). Moderating price increases have been anticipated by me as the inventory rises and the sales activity cools a bit.

Inventory rose for the ninth month in a row, by 13.4% (was up by 11.3% in May).  While the June 2014 numbers are not as robust as those of last year, this continues to be an active market with a 5.8 month supply of inventory (was 6 months in May) which is up 11.4% from last year.  Currently a slight advantage to sellers.

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)

The median sales price was up by 1.2% (down 34.1% in April) and the average sales price decreased by 1.3% (was down by 2.3% in April).  Last month was the first decrease in values in over a year.  A nice rebound this month.  It will be interesting to note if this trend continues.

May 2014 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos continues with reduced activity from last year, though still an active market, currently with a slight sellers advantage.  Year to year closed sales were up by 0.8% (was down by 12.2% in April) while new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 20.8% from May 2013 (was unchanged in April).  The decrease in pending sales may be an indication of some future weakness in this market.

 The inventory of available townhouses and condos has decreased by 14 to 565 units from last month which is also 7.7% less inventory than was available in May of 2013.  With values having gone up as much as they have, I would have expected higher inventory levels.  The current supply of inventory is 5.7 months (an 8.5% decrease from last year).  While a very strong month, I’m a bit concerned over the decrease in both inventory and pending sales.

May 2014 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes

The May 2014 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes showed excellent activity.  Martin County single family home sales exceeded the average in the state and is showing excellent strength.  Year to year closed sales were up by 18.6% (was up only 0.5% in April). New pending sales decreased by 0.4% as compared to May of 2013 (decreased by 9.1% in April).  I would have liked to see some stronger new pending sale numbers.

The median sales price was up by 8.0% from last year (up by 12.6% in April) while the average price increased by 4.3% (was down by 19.3% last month).  Ideally price increases in the single digits, like this month, are a good healthy sign for the market.

The inventory of available single family homes increased from April 2014 by 22 homes to 1,420 units this month, representing a 21.8% increase from last May.  Current supply of inventory remains unchanged from last month at 7.5 months (a 9.6% increase from last year).  Hovering just outside of a balanced market for now with a slight advantage for buyers.

For the May 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos for the state of Florida, activity has decreased from last years hot pace.  Year to year closed sales were down by 7% as compared to last months decrease of 5.1% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 13.4% (April’s decrease was 11%).

Both median and average sales prices were up (year to year) by 13.7% and 12.7% respectively (in April it was 9.8% and 10.6%). Continued strong price gains.  This is a bit surprising since the market does appear to be cooling somewhat, though for may it continues to be active and a balanced market.

Inventory rose for the eighth month in a row, by 11.3% (was up by 9.3 in April).  The rising inventory should eventually produce some pressure to moderate the rising prices.  Hopefully, this will help continue the strong momentum for sales activity.  The current 6 month supply of inventory is a good sign that we are in a balanced market.

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)

The median sales price was down by 34.1% (up 21.1% in March) and the average sales price decreased by 2.3% (was up by 7.4% in March).  This is the first month we’ve seen a decrease in values.  Lack of supply and demand are both factors for this as was the torrid price rises from last year.

The inventory of available townhouses and condos decreased by 48 units from last month to 856 units which is down by 5.3% from last April.  Current supply of inventory decrease to 8.4 months from the 9.6 month supply in March and is 4.5% lower from last year.   This is a buyers market at present.

April 2014 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes

The April 2014 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes improved from a slow March though activity only slightly improved from last year.  Year to year closed sales were up by only 0.5% (was down 14.7% in March). New pending sales decreased by 9.1% as compared to April of 2013 (increased by 17.5% in March).  The decrease in pending sales is a bit troubling as it’s the main indicator of potential future closed sales.

The median sales price was up by 12.6% from last year (up by 4% in March) while the average price dropped by 19.3% (was down by 25.1% last month).  This is a dramatic indication of the continued strong activity for the lower price ranges and a slower sales volume in the higher end luxury market.

The inventory of available single family homes decreased from March 2014 by 29 homes to 1,398 units this month, representing a 15% increase from last April.  Current supply of inventory remains unchanged from last month at 7.5 months (a 4.8% increase from last year).  Hovering just outside of a balanced market for now with a slight advantage for buyers.

For the April 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos for the state of Florida the rate of activity has slowed some, but is now a much healthier market than last years super heated activity.  Year to year closed sales were down by 5.1% as compared to last months decrease of 5.2% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 11% (March’s decrease was 6.2%).

Both median and average sales prices were up (year to year) by 9.8% and 10.6% respectively (in March it was 16.7% and 16.1%). These strong price appreciations is what I suspect is the cause of the decrease in market activity for condos and townhouses in Florida for April, though it is a strong balanced market at this time.

Inventory rose for the seventh month in a row, by 9.3%.  The rising inventory is producing some pressure to moderate the price increases.  This should help continue a strong momentum for sales activity.  The 6 month supply of inventory is a good sign that we are in a balanced market.

April 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

April 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

The April 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 4.1% (was up by 2.8% in March) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 1.1% (was up by 2.1% in March).

Both median and average sales prices continue to rise ( April 2013 to April 2014) by 6.1% and 3.8% respectively, compared to March’s 7.1% and 6.3%.   While still very positive numbers, the rate of appreciation appears to be slowing.

The inventory of available homes for sale jumped by 18% from last year.  This is now the seventh 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.
