Martin County Condo Sales Report December 2013

 Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Condo Sales report for December 2013 ended the year with some modestly positive gains.  Closed sales for December were up to 69 units as compared to 54 for December of 2012 and 47 for last month.  The median price made a big jump to $165,000 as compared to last year’s $100,950 and last month’s $125,000.  Inventory decreased for the first time in three months, and we continue to have fewer condos available for sale as compared to 2012.

The one month absorption rate dropped to 8.07 months from last months 11.91 months, while the three-month average is now at 9.73 months (compared to last year’s 12.06).  The condo market for Martin County continues to be a buyers market though the numbers continue to improve.  Generally an absorption rate of 6 or 7 months is considered a balanced market.

Considering that December is typically a weak month for the condo market, we did very well for the close of 2013.

Martin County Condo Sales Report for November 2013

Martin County Condo Sales Report for November 2013

 Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Condo Sales report for November 2013 showed some weakness, much like the Martin County Homes sales report.  Closed sales for November were unchanged from November of 2012 and were lower than last month.  The median price rose respectably from last month and was unchanged from last year.  Inventory rose for the third month in a row, yet still fewer condos available for sale from last year.

The one month absorption rate increased to 11.91 months from last months 9.93 months, while the three-month average is now at 10.57 months.  The condo market for Martin County continues to be a buyers market.  Generally an absorption rate of 6 or 7 months is considered a balanced market.

Weakness for the condo market is not that unusual for this time of the year.  The coming season should prove interesting as this segment has been fairly flat for the past few years, even though the numbers have risen somewhat.

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for October 2013

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for October 2013

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Condo Market for October 2013 showed better numbers than in previous years on a year to year comparison.  Still a bit slower than we would like.  Inventory increased this month to 546 units (the second month in a row with gains).  It was back in 2005 when we had steady inventory levels below 600 units.  The median sales price decreased significantly in October to one of the lowest numbers in years.  This value is more a result of the mix of sales for October which were mostly in the lower price ranges, rather than a decrease in values.   Currently, prices on average appear to be holding steady with different communities showing some small gains (as well as some losses) depending on the individual community.

The one month absorption rate decreased to 9.93 months from last months 10.04 months, while the three-month average is now at 9.81 months.  The condo market for Martin County continues to be a buyers market.  Generally an absorption rate of 6 or 7 months is considered a balanced market.

Potential higher interest rates remain troubling for the market in general, but is not as strong an issue for our condo market as we have a fairly high percentage of cash buyers.  Though, uncertainty with the economy is a big factor for vacation buyers potentially using their discretionary spending for these purchases.

The activity for the Stuart condo market for the area in ZIP code 34997 showed some very mixed results for the month of October.  Pending sales were off considerably while closed sales increased significantly.  Also, interestingly the inventory took a nice jump.

The one month absorption rate dropped to 4.8 months from last months 10.9.  Back into a strong sellers market.   A 6 month absorption rate is typically considered to be a balanced market that favors neither the buyer nor the seller.   Though with reduced pendings numbers this may swing back to a buyers market again soon.

The October 2012 numbers were: 99 active listings, 21 pending sales and 6 closed sales.   Much better closed activity this year.

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for September 2013

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for September 2013

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Condo Market for September 2013 showed better numbers than in previous years on a year to year comparison.  Still a bit slower than we would like.  Inventory increased this month to 532 units (Inventory has been up and down the past few months with no real trend at this time).  It was back in 2005 when we had steady inventory levels below 600 units.  The median sales price increased in September and continues to be well above last year’s values.  Much of the median price results are driven by the mix of units selling.   Currently, prices on average appear to be holding steady with different communities showing some small gains (as well as some losses) depending on the individual community.

The one month absorption rate increased to 10.04 months from last months 9.46 months, while the three-month average is now at 9.45 months.  We’ve slipped back into a buyers market for martin County condos.  Generally an absorption rate of 6 or 7 months is considered a balanced market.

Higher interest rates remain troubling for the market in general, but is not as strong an issue for our condo market as we have a fairly high percentage of cash buyers.  If the economy continues it’s improvement, I expect another good season for the condo market in Martin County for the upcoming season.

 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.

The Hobe Sound condo market (Zip Code 33455) is the smallest segment of the Martin County real estate market.  For the first time in many months we had a relatively large increase in active listings (by percentage).   Pending sales dropped considerably while closed sales did take a nice increase. 

The absorption rate for September dropped to 2.8 moths from last months buyers market of 14 months.  Back to a strong sellers advantage for those in the Hobe Sound condo market..  Generally, a 6 month absorption rate is considered to be a balanced market favoring neither the seller or buyer.  These statistics within this segment should be taken with a grain of salt, as small changes in activity make for very large changes on percentages that may not indicate a true trend in the market.

The September 2012 numbers were:  28 active listings, 7 pending sales and 2 closed sales.   Other than this months pending sales decline, we compare quite favorable to last years numbers.
