June 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

The June 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos showed weaker activity when compared to 1 year ago.  Prices may have climbed a bit to fast for this segment of the Florida real estate market.  Closed sales were down by 2.6% as compared to last months increase of 0.1% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 7.6% (In May there was a 4.6% decrease).  Inventory of available condos and townhouses continues to rise as well which should put pressure on prices to either decline or at least moderate.

Though the June prices continued to rise with the median sales price up by 8.6% (was up by 4.4% in May), while the average sales price increased by 3.1% (was down 1.3% in May).  If prices continue to stay somewhat stable or even decrease slightly, I expect the volume of sales to increase.

The inventory increased by 7.9% from June of last year.  For June 2016 we have 6.0 months of inventory (was 6.1 months in May) and compared to 5.5 for June 2015.  We are currently in a balanced market for Florida townhouse and condo sales.

Hobe Sound FL 33455 Condo Market Report June 2016

The Hobe Sound condo market (Zip Code 33455) is the smallest segment of the Martin County real estate market.  Inventory levels are at all time lows and it is quite remarkable that there is as much activity as there is in this small segment of the Martin County real estate market.

For June, 2016 the absorption rate is 1.3 months which is what it was back in April (with no sales reported in May, there was no absorption rate for that month).  Absorption rates in this segment of the Martin County real estate market should be taken with a liberal grain of salt, as small changes in activity make for very large changes on percentages that June not reflect a true trend in the market. An absorption rate of 6 to 7 months is considered to be a balanced market favoring neither the buyer or seller.

The June 2015 numbers were: 9 active listings, 2 pending sales and 6 closed sales.  Better closed activity for last year, but this was with over twice as many active condos for sale.  Inventory, or lack of, is playing a major obstacle in the Hobe Sound condo market.

The Stuart FL 34994 Condo market had a large increase in pending sales for May while closed sales were only down by one condo.  This should result in strong closed activity for the coming few months.  Unfortunately the active inventory took a significant drop.

The one month absorption rate increased to 4.6 months compared to last month’s 5.1.   Dropping into an even stronger sellers’ market for the condo segment of Stuart’s 34994 zip code area.  Typically a real estate market is considered to be a balanced market with an absorption rate of 6 to 7 months.  Meaning neither the buyers or sellers have an advantage in the real estate market.

Last May the numbers were 91 active listings, 38 pending sales, and 19 closed sales.   Very similar activity to last year.  Though we could use a bit more inventory as it’s down significantly from 2015.

April 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

April 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

The April 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos is beginning to show some slower activity tahn in past years drifting out of a sellers market and currently in a balanced one.  Closed sales were down by 5.3% as compared to last months decrease of 7.1% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 5.7% (In March there was a 10.1% decrease).  While on the single family side of the Florida real estate market this decrease in volume can be attributed to inventory, for condos and townhouses it appears to be strictly price related as the inventory has been gaining in the past few months.

Inexplicably, prices continue to rise, though at a slower pace than for the past few years.  The median sales price was up by 4.4% (up by 3.3% in March), while the average sales price increased by 2.9% (was down 3.9% in March).  Should the inventory continue to rise with slow sales, I expect these price increase to shrink in the near future.

The inventory increased by 7.5% from April of last year.  For April 2016 we have 6.3 months of inventory (was also 6.3 months in March) and compared to 5.9 for April 2015.  We are currently in a balanced market for Florida townhouse and condo sales.

The Hobe Sound condo market (Zip Code 33455) is the smallest segment of the Martin County real estate market.  April showed strong activity for the little existing inventory available for Hobe Sound Condos.

There were no sales in Hobe Sound condos for both January and March, but for April the absorption rate is 1.3 months, for December of 2015 it was 1.7 months.  Absorption rates in this segment of the Martin County real estate market should be taken with a liberal grain of salt, as small changes in activity make for very large changes on percentages that may not reflect a true trend in the market. An absorption rate of 6 to 7 months is considered to be a balanced market favoring neither the buyer or seller.

The April 2015 numbers were: 10 active listings, 2 pending sales and 5 closed sales.  Considering we have just over half the active inventory from last year, this months sales volume is impressive.
