There are currently 191 active condo listings (Down 8 from last month).

52 Condo sales are pending and awaiting close or lender approval (A decrease of 6 condos from March).

The 34996 zip code area of Stuart Florida showed very strong sales activity in March.  Pending sales also remained steady and the inventory declined further in a continued positive trend for this section of the residential single family market in Stuart, Florida.  The current absorption rate is under 8 months and is only a small number away from a balanced market.  When factoring in the distressed sales, this is an impressive result for March.

Comparing the numbers to February of 2011, there were 206 active listings, 30 pending sales and 7 closed sales.  With the inventory continuing to decline, sales levels and pending sales levels remain at or above last year’s levels.  Those properties that are attractive and priced well continue to sell, and often quite fast.

There are currently 190 active listings (Up 11 from December).

28 Residential sales are pending and awaiting close or lender approval (Up 4 from December).

6 Homes Sold in January (Down 4 from December).

The 34996 zip code area of Stuart Florida had a slow January with all results, except for pending sales, moving in the wrong direction.  We are seeing increased activity in the area; hopefully, this will translate into better numbers for February.

Comparing the numbers to January of 2011, there were 205 active listings, 31 pending sales, and 9 closed sales.  Other than a slightly lower inventory of homes, the numbers for this January are off from last year.  We were expecting better results and frankly, we are not sure why we have these disappointing numbers this year.  It has been a very mild winter up north so far this year, which might be why some may postpone their buying trips until later.   Check back next month to see how we fare in February.

For December 2011 in the 34996 Zip Code area of Stuart, Florida :

There are currently 179 active listings (Up 6 from November).

24 Residential sales are pending and awaiting close or lender approval (Down 4 from November).

10 Homes Sold in December (Down 4 from November).

The 34996 zip code area 0f Stuart Florida had a slow December with all results moving in the wrong direction.  Hopefully, this is a short-term reflection of a  slowdown in activity during the holiday season.

Comparing the numbers to December of 2010, there were  192 active listings, 32 pending sales and 5 closed sales.  The sales rate is higher, but less pending sales and less inventory.  If this trend continues, with less supply and greater demand, I expect prices to become more stabilized as long as there are no large numbers of distressed homes coming on the market which tend to be priced below market value and depreciate the market in general.

There are currently 173 active listings (Up 12 from October).

28 Residential sales are pending and awaiting close or lender approval (Down 7 from October).

14 Homes Sold in November (Up 9 from October).

The 34996 zip code area pf Stuart Florida had a much better November compared to October up to 14 homes from a low of 5 in October.   Inventory also rose by 12 homes and pending sales were off, possibly reflecting a slowdown of activity during the holiday season.  Buyer traffic is remaining strong as many realize that it is an excellent market for home affordability on Florida’s Treasure Coast.

The numbers for November of 2010 were 210 active listings, 29 pending sales and 5 closed sales.  Sales have almost tripled with less inventory available.  An excellent sign for market recovery which we believe is well underway.  Depending on the status of distressed homes (short sales and bank-owned properties), we wouldn’t be surprised to see prices start to inch up in the near future.

There are currently 161 active listings (Down 16 from September).

35 Residential sales are pending and awaiting close or lender approval (Up 12 from September).

5 Homes Sold in October (Down 7 from September).

Bucking the trend for the rest of Stuart, the 34996 zip code area had fairly positive results for October 2011, with an increase in pending sales and a decrease in inventory. The only negative was a decrease in closed sales in October.  With lower inventory levels and increased pending sales, we should see some pressure on prices to remain stable for the next few months, provided we don’t have any increase in distressed sales (short sales and foreclosures).

We are rapidly approaching the holiday season.  Normally activity does slow down during this period.

The Stuart condo market for the area in ZIP code 34996 showed a continued decrease in inventory which is a positive sign.  A fairly strong increase of 6 sales as well as a small increase in pending sales. Sales were mixed both in the higher as well as lower price ranges.  Many buyers feel the bottom of the market is close or possibly already past and are taking advantage of some very good values.

With the height of the season to come, it will be interesting to see what happens!

There are currently 177 active listings (Up 17 from August).

23 Residential sales are pending and awaiting close or lender approval (down 5 from August).

12 Homes Sold in September (up 3 from August).

Other than a small rise in sales of 3 homes from August, the 34996 ZIP Code area of Stuart Florida showed an increase in inventory as well as a decrease in pending sales.  How much of this is seasonal as opposed to a reflection of the economy remains to be determined. This increase in inventory may also be attributable to many sellers trying to time the market as well as a reaction from recent relatively good sales for the past spring and summer seasons.  Most efforts to time the market, especially when made in relatively large numbers become self-defeating as in this trying market, this increase in inventory may just drive the market a bit lower. However, for buyers, especially those who can obtain financing, there hasn’t been a more attractive real estate market in decades.  There are some savvy buyers getting excellent deals for homes at prices equivalent to 10 or 11 years ago.This will be an interesting season to watch!

Market Report: Stuart Florida Real Estate Snapshot for Zip Code 34996, Condo Sales for August 2011

For August 2011 in the 34996 Zip Code area of Stuart, Florida :
(Due to technical difficulties the July Market Snapshot data was unavailable)

There are currently 192 active condo listings (down 15 from last June).

29 Condo sales are pending and awaiting close or lender approval (An increase of 8 from June).

12 Condos Sold in August (Down 18 units from June)

The condo market for zip code 34996 in Stuart saw a marked decrease in closed units for August.  This is expected as the condo market tends to be more seasonal and typically slows down until the beginning of the Florida vacation season, which is usually around and after the holidays.  The good news is that the inventory has continued to decline, which makes the selection of condos more restricted and typically influences increased demand.  As long as we don’t have a flood of seasonal listings come on the market this fall, this should bode well for sales this coming season (assuming we don’t have continued terrible economic news as well).

Market Report: Stuart, Florida Real Estate Snapshot for Zip Code 34996, Residential Sales for August 2011

For August 2011 in the 34996 Zip Code area of Stuart, Florida :

There are currently 160 active listings (down 7 from June).

28 Residential sales are pending and awaiting close or lender approval (down 5 from June).

9 Homes Sold in August(up 3 from June and down from a solid 17 sales in July).

After a solid 17 sales in July, only 9 homes closed in August for the 34996 zip code area of Stuart Florida.  With the latest poor economic news as well as a seeming political deadlock in Washington, consumer confidence has once again dropped and we are seeing a marked decrease in sales in the mid to upper range in the Martin County real estate market.  The latest sales (which show some good results) were mainly initiated prior to the more current news as typically real estate sales typically take from one to three months to close.

On the brighter side, the inventory continues to decrease.  Not a great amount of foreclosure sales of any significance have come on the market. Short sales continue to be numerous but for the most part, the lenders are cooperating much more aggressively and they seem to be closing quicker and with greater frequency.

With any uptick in the economic news, there should be a pretty good run on residential real estate as there is some pent-up demand with homes being at historically affordable levels.  If this demand is not met with increasing inventory levels, prices should remain steady and could conceivably rise a little for the most attractive properties.

30 Condos Sold in June (Up 8 units from last month)

The condo market for zip code 34996 in Stuart saw an increase in closed sales while pending sales showed a marked decline.  Not unusual as the summer season tends to be slow for condo sales, which are mostly seasonal homes for our residents from the north.  Inventory continues to decrease, which is a good sign.  Once the supply becomes more in balance with the demand, prices will stop declining and will once again begin to rise.  Interestingly enough, quite a few higher-end condos were sold last month.
