June 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

June 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

The positive trend from the spring has slowed for the June 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos for the entire state of Florida.   Year to year closed sales were off by 2.5% as compared to last months increase of 18.7% and while new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 14.2% (May’s increase was 30.8%).

Both median and average sales prices were up (June 2012 to June 2013) by 18.2% and 13.9% respectively (higher than May’s). 

One item of concern is the active inventory which has decreased by 20%.  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.

Another positive month of results reported by Florida Realtors for the June 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes for the entire state of Florida.  All indices have moved in a positive direction though at a more modest pace than for the past few months.  Year to year closed sales were up by 8.6% (was 18.7% in May) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 23.1% (was 30.8% in May).

Both median and average sales prices were up (June 2012 to June 2013) by 15.1% and 14.2% respectively. 

The inventory of available homes for sale remains a concern as it continues to decrease, down by 22% 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 May 2013

07.07.13 by

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for May 2013

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Condo Market for May 2013 was strong, though it retreated considerably from the excellent April numbers.   85 condos sold in May (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.

 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.

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for May 2013

07.06.13 by

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for May 2013

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for May 2013 continues the strong trend for 2013.   Considering that the available inventory has shrunk considerably, the number of sales for the month is quite impressive.  In fact, our inventory levels are approaching numbers that may have a negative effect on sales volume in the upcoming months.  Additionally, interest rates have been heading up recently.  Hopefully, this will not negatively impact our recovery. 

The median sales price was off from last month, but the average was slightly higher.  The inventory declined to only 1000 homes.   The one month absorption rate for May 2013 increased slightly to 4.74 months (from 4.52 months in April), and the three-month average is now down to 4.54 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.

We are still in need of good news about the economy as well as additional inventory to keep our real estate market recovery going strong.

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

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for April 2013

06.05.13 by

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for April 2013

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Condo Market for April 2013 had one of the strongest months in recent history.  After disappointing results from much of the fall season, sales numbers for April were up to 128 units.  This is the highest monthly sales number since I started recording this data in January of 2004.  The inventory of available condos dropped again (fourth month in a row) to only 571 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 March, 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 dipped to 4.46 months from last months 6.93 months, while the three-month average is now at 6.32 months.  A considerably improved condo market after many years of stagnant results.  We have now slipped into a slight sellers market for certain segments of Martin County’s condo sales.  Generally an absorption rate of 6 or 7 months is considered a balanced market.

This summer will be very interesting.  If we don’t have an increase in inventory and buyers remain active, I expect some fairly good price gains.

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for April 2013

06.04.13 by

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for April 2013

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for April 2013 continued the strong trend that began towards the end of last year.   Considering that the available inventory has shrunk considerably, the number of sales for the month is quite impressive.  In fact, our inventory levels are approaching numbers that may have a negative effect on sales volume in the upcoming months.  Many prospective buyers may not be able to find homes that fit their needs.

Both the average and median prices were up significantly for April.  The inventory did not decline from March, going up by only one unit.  Possibly an indication that many who have been waiting for an improving market are starting to list their homes.    The one month absorption rate for April 2013 increased slightly to 4.52 months (from 4.38 months in March), and the three-month average is now down to 5.26 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.

Positive economic news as well as continued low interest rates continue to drive buyers into the market.  While interest rates remain very attractive, there have been slight increases in the past few weeks.  There are also an increasing number of properties that have sold above asking price with multiple offers.  While we have a long way to go to see prices at the level of the boom around 2006, sellers are seeing a much improved market at present.

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

April 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

Some very positive results reported by Florida Realtors for the April 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos for the entire state of Florida.  All indices have moved in a positive direction though similar to the single family report for April 2013.  Year to year closed sales were up by 13.6% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 22.7%.

Both median and average sales prices were up (April 2012 to April 2013) by 16.4% and 12.3% respectively. 

One item of concern is the active inventory which has decreased by almost 20.6%.  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.Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos April 2013
