For October 2011 in the 34997 Zip Code area of Stuart, Florida :

There are currently 120 active condo listings (An increase of 8 units from September).

13 Condo sales are pending and awaiting close or lender approval (Down 3 from September).

10 Condos Sold in June (Up 6 from September).

The Stuart condo market for the area in ZIP code 34997 had a very weak September, so an increase in closed sales was welcome in October.  Unfortunately along with the increase in closed sales, there has also been an increase in inventory (also true for all other areas in Martin County) as we head into the holiday season.  Typically we see a fairly slow couple of months with activity starting to pick back up in January. 

Sellers should hope that the inventory doesn’t pick up by too much as this will have a negative influence on sales prices.
