The Hobe Sound condo market (Zip Code 33455) is the smallest segment of the Martin County real estate market.  For November, there was a nice increase in active listings.  Unfortunately pending sales decreased by 1 condo.  Sales were only 2 units.

The absorption rate for November decreased to 10.5 moths from last months 15 months.  Still a buyers advantage for those in the Hobe Sound condo market..  Generally, a 6 to 7 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 November 2012 numbers were:  26 active listings, 10 pending sales and 1 closed sales.   Much stronger pending activity last year.  With the increasing inventory, I’m hoping for better numbers in the coming season.

Very poor activity for the Stuart condo market for the area in ZIP code 34997 for the month of November.  Both pending and closed sales were off significantly for the month as compared to last month.  The inventory remained unchanged.  Very unusual results as the 34997 residential market is one of the bright spots for November 2013.

The one month absorption rate jumped to 15.2 months from last months 4.8.  Back into a strong buyers’ market.   A 6 to 7 month absorption rate is typically considered to be a balanced market that favors neither the buyer nor the seller.   As I mentioned in October, we’re now back into a slower market in this segment after a fairly strong October.

The November 2012 numbers were: 97 active listings, 21 pending sales and 7 closed sales.   Fairly close activity compared to last year, though last year’s pendings were much better.

A small and welcome increase in activity for the Stuart Condo market for zip code 34994.   Pending sales remained virtually unchanged while we had a nice rise in closed sales to 20 condos.  The inventory which rose the past two months, was once again down.

The one month absorption rate rose to 5.9 months compared to last months 8.6.  A marginal sellers’ market for the 34994 zip code condo market of Stuart FL.  Typically a real estate market is considered to be a balanced market with an absorption rate of 6 months.  Meaning neither the buyers or sellers have an advantage in the real estate market.

Last November the numbers were 153 active listings, 42 pending sales, and 11 closed sales.   Better activity this year than last, especially when considering the greatly reduced number of available condos for sale.

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.

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.

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for August 2013

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Condo Market for August 2013 showed better numbers than in previous years on a year to year comparison.  Still a bit slower than we would like.  Inventory decreased to 511 units (after a nice little jump last month).  It was back in 2005 when we had steady inventory levels below 600 units.  The median sales price decreased in August indicating the mix of sales has once again shifted to the less expensive mainland condos, though still above last year’s value significantly.  Much of the median price results are driven by the mix of units selling.  We had a good number of higher end waterfront condos sell in previous months.  And, while prices are not declining any more in the overall market, they also are not making any large increases at this time.  Prices remain very sensitive to the community and the available competition.

The one month absorption rate increased to 9.46 months from last months 8.92 months, while the three-month average is now at 8.5 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 year.
