March 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

March 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

The March 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos is now in a balanced market and not the super heated activity as we have experienced for the past two years.  Closed sales were down by 7.1% as compared to last months decrease of 5.4% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 10.1% (In February there was a 10.5% 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.

The median sales price continued to rise, by 3.3% (up by 5.6% in February), while the average sales price decreased by 3.9% (was down 1.4% in February).  It appears that prices may not continue to rise very rapidly for this segment of the Florida real estate market.

The inventory increased by 6.7% from March of last year.  For March 2016 we have 6.3 months of inventory (was also 6.3 months in February) and compared to 6.0 for March 2015.  First time in two years that we are seeing an increase in inventory as well as being out of a sellers market.

 Hobe Sound FL 33455 Condo Market Report March 2016

The Hobe Sound condo market (Zip Code 33455) is the smallest segment of the Martin County real estate market.  March brought the first sale for condos in Hobe Sound for 2016.  Though, with such low inventory, it is hard to make any meaningful comparisons as long as this market remains like this.

There were no sales in Hobe Sound condos for both January and February, but for March the absorption rate is 1.7 months, for December of 2015 it was 4 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 March 2015 numbers were: 8 active listings, 9 pending sales and 4 closed sales.  Better activity last year with the slightly higher inventory.

No Condos sold in February (Same as January)

The Hobe Sound condo market (Zip Code 33455) is the smallest segment of the Martin County real estate market.  February brought the second month of no condo sales, something that hasn’t happened since I’ve been tracking this market.  With a small increase in inventory and pending sales, I expect to see at least one or two closed sales for March.

No possible absorption rate number for this month with zero sales, for December of 2015 it was 4 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 February 2015 numbers were: 19 active listings, 5 pending sales and 3 closed sales.  Our pending sales are the same as last year, otherwise there was better activity in 2015.

Stuart FL 34994 Condo Market Report January 2016

The Stuart FL 34994 Condo market started the year with slower sales activity than the end of last year, but still better than this period from last year.  Nice to see a bit of an increase in inventory.  I hope this will continue.

The one month absorption rate increased to 6.8 months compared to last month’s 5.5.   Back into a balanced market.  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 January the numbers were 111 active listings, 35 pending sales, and 9 closed sales.   Better closed activity this year with very similar inventory levels, with less pending sales though.
