Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for September 2013

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Condo Market for September 2013 showed better numbers than in previous years on a year to year comparison.  Still a bit slower than we would like.  Inventory increased this month to 532 units (Inventory has been up and down the past few months with no real trend at this time).  It was back in 2005 when we had steady inventory levels below 600 units.  The median sales price increased in September and continues to be well above last year’s values.  Much of the median price results are driven by the mix of units selling.   Currently, prices on average appear to be holding steady with different communities showing some small gains (as well as some losses) depending on the individual community.

The one month absorption rate increased to 10.04 months from last months 9.46 months, while the three-month average is now at 9.45 months.  We’ve slipped back into a buyers market for martin County condos.  Generally an absorption rate of 6 or 7 months is considered a balanced market.

Higher interest rates remain troubling for the market in general, but is not as strong an issue for our condo market as we have a fairly high percentage of cash buyers.  If the economy continues it’s improvement, I expect another good season for the condo market in Martin County for the upcoming season.

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for September 2013

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Residential Market for September 2013 continues to produce better results as compared to recent years.   For September 2013, the inventory rose for the second month in a row signifying that some pent up seller demand is now once again re-entering the market as prices have started to increase.  Though for September both median and average prices slid some, but this was more an indication of lower priced homes dominating sales for the previous month.

The one month absorption rate for September 2013 increased to 5.99 months (from 5.11 months in August), and the three-month average is now 5.4 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.  Considering the fact that we have entered our slower season, we continue to have better activity as compared to previous years.

Our overall market remains quite healthy as compared to previous years since the ‘bubble’.  The unknowns for the future remain our economy for the nation as a whole.

September 2013 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos

The September 2013 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos as reported by Florida Realtors showed  an unexpected drop from last years numbers.   Year to year closed sales were down by 28.6% (was down by4% in August) while new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 18% (was  up by 4.9% in August

Prices continued to rise however, year to year, with the median sales price up by 12.6% (up 69.4% in August) and the average sales price rose by 14.6% (was up by 38.2% in August).

The inventory of available townhouses and condos decreased from last month to 785 units which is a decrease of 18.1% from last September.  Current supply of inventory is now 7.9 months (a 22.9% decrease from last year).   This is the only segment of the Treasure Coast real estate market to show a decrease of closed sales (year to year).  The townhouse and condo markets are much more seasonally affected as more buyers in this segment tend to be ‘snowbirds’ and we may continue with weak results for the next few months.September 2013 Market Detail for Saint Lucie County Townhouses and Condos

September 2013 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Single Family Homes

The September 2013 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Single Family Homes as reported by Florida Realtors continues the positive trend that has been apparent all this year, though at a more moderate rate for the past few months.   Closed sales were up by 4.1%  (in August they were up by 3.5%)  and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 12% (they were up by 17.8% last month).

Both median and average sales prices were up (year to year) by 14.2% and 15% respectively year to year. 

The inventory of active listings rose in September (from last month) to 1947 homes, still down by 24.1% from last year.  Current supply of inventory is only 4.5 months (a 33.6% decrease from last year) and unchanged from August.  For September 2013 this remains a strong sellers market in the St Lucie County area.  Lower inventory typically results 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.  Prices have been rising because of the shortage of inventory and the slow recovery of the market.September 2013 Market Detail for Saint Lucie County Single Family

The September 2013 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos continues to show positive year to year results.  Though the gains for September were surprisingly strong as compared to August of 2013, though we are entering into our slower season.   Year to year closed sales were up by 36.2% ( up by 1.3% in August) while new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 8% (was up 4.9% in August).

The median sales price increased by 49.5% (was up by 16.3% in August) while the average sales price rose by 30.6% (was up 13.4% in August) as compared to September of 2012.September 2013 Market Detail for Martin County Townhouses and Condos

The inventory of available townhouses and condos has increased slightly to 560 units from last month, while still a decrease of 29.8% from last September.  Current supply of inventory is only 5.6 months (a 41.9% decrease from last year).  For the Martin County townhouse and condo market we have transitioned into numerous months of a seller’s market.  This is exerting significant pressure into rising values for this segment of the real estate market.

Positive reports for the September 2013 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes as reported by Florida Realtors.  Surprisingly strong results compared to many other areas of the state for September.   Closed sales were up by 58.5% (was 9.1% in August) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 24.1% (35.2% in August).

Both the median and average sales prices (year to year) increased this month by percentages of 35% and 21.9% respectively.

The inventory of available single family homes increased this month to 1216 units but this is still down by 9.3% from last September.  Current supply of inventory is only 6.6 months (a 24.5% decrease from last year).  We are now in a balanced market for residential sales in Martin County.  Considering that this is typically the slower season for Martin County, I’m expecting a return to a sellers market once the holiday season is over.September 2013 Market Detail for Martin County Single Family

September 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

The September 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos for the state of Florida continues to show gains though not as robust as they were in the spring of this year.  Year to year closed sales were up by 11.4% as compared to last months increase of 6.3% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 4.6% (August’s increase was 11.6%).

Both median and average sales prices were up (year to year) by a healthy 23.5% and 16.9% respectively. Florida Condo and Townhouse

One item of concern is the active inventory which has decreased again, for September by 7.9%.  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.

More good news for the Florida real estate market as reported by Florida Realtors for the September 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes for the entire state of Florida.  All indices have once again moved in a positive direction with the exception of inventory (active listings), though not by quite as large percentages as last month.  Year to year closed sales were up by 18.8% (was 12.5% in August) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 10.5% (was 17.2% in August).

Both median and average sales prices were up (September 2012 to September 2013) by 17.2% and 12.3% respectively.  While improved over last year, the rate of increase is less for September as the seasonal influence of our real estate markets become apparent.Florida Single Family

The inventory of available homes for sale remains a concern as it continues to decrease, down by 5.1% from last year.  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.

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for August 2013

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Condo Market for August 2013 showed better numbers than in previous years on a year to year comparison.  Still a bit slower than we would like.  Inventory decreased to 511 units (after a nice little jump last month).  It was back in 2005 when we had steady inventory levels below 600 units.  The median sales price decreased in August indicating the mix of sales has once again shifted to the less expensive mainland condos, though still above last year’s value significantly.  Much of the median price results are driven by the mix of units selling.  We had a good number of higher end waterfront condos sell in previous months.  And, while prices are not declining any more in the overall market, they also are not making any large increases at this time.  Prices remain very sensitive to the community and the available competition.

The one month absorption rate increased to 9.46 months from last months 8.92 months, while the three-month average is now at 8.5 months.  We’ve slipped back into a buyers market for martin County condos.  Generally an absorption rate of 6 or 7 months is considered a balanced market.

Higher interest rates remain troubling for the market in general, but is not as strong an issue for our condo market as we have a fairly high percentage of cash buyers.  If the economy continues it’s improvement, I expect another good season for the condo market in Martin County for the upcoming year.

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for August 2013

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for August 2013

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Residential Market for August 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 August of 2005, but we are now back to just over 1,000 homes on the market.   If prices begin to rise with any significance in the broad market (they are already rising in certain segments), I expect the inventory to increase as more potential sellers that have been on the sidelines will enter the market.

Both median and average sales prices declined in August from last month, but are still improved year to year.  The one month absorption rate for August 2013 decreased to 5.1 months (from 5.3 months in June), and the three-month average is 5 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.  Considering the fact that we have entered our slower season, we continue to have better activity as compared to previous years.

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 along with questionable activities coming from our legislators in Washington D.C.

July 2013 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Single Family Homes

The July 2013 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Single Family Homes as reported by Florida Realtors continues the positive trend that has been apparent all this year, though at a more moderate rate for July.   Closed sales were up by 4.3% which were down by 0.4% (in June they were down by .4%)  and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 55.6% (they were up by 42.6% last month).

Both median and average sales prices were up (year to year) by 23.2% and 21.7% respectively. 

The inventory of active listings rose from last month, but is still down by 34.2% from last year.  Current supply of inventory is only 4.3 months (a 43.6% decrease from last year) and up slightly from 3.9 months from June.  For July 2013 this remains a strong sellers market in the St Lucie County area.  Lower inventory typically results 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  expect to see continued increases in inventory.
