February 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

For the February 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos for the state of Florida activity slowed considerably as compared to last year.  Hopefully, this is just a one month issue.   Year to year closed sales were down by 6.8% as compared to last months increase of 9.3% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 14.5% (January’s decrease was 6%). 

Both median and average sales prices were up (year to year) by 15.2% and 13.9% respectively (in January it was 17% and 21%).  I suspect that these very strong price gains are what is now slowing the sales activity as many buyers are simply being priced out of the market.

Inventory rose for the fourth month in a row, by 3.7%.  The rising inventory should produce some pressure to moderate the price increases.  This should help regain the momentum of sales.

February 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

The February 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes as reported by Florida Realtors showed some moderating activity for the state.    Year to year closed sales were up, but only by 1.5% (was up by 10.2% in January) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 5.5% (was up by 0.7% in January).

Both median and average sales prices were up ( February 2013 to February 2014) by 10% and 11% respectively, compared to January’s 12.1% and 19.9%.   While still very positive numbers, the rate of appreciation appears to be slowing.

The inventory of available homes for sale increased by 13% from last year.  This is now the fifth month of increased inventory.  This increase is a direct result of rising prices as many home sellers have been waiting on the side lines for improved values.  I suspect that the reduced rate of increasing values and home sales are a direct result of the increasing inventory.  Currently, there are just not enough buyers to absorb this increase fully.

The January 2014 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos as reported by Florida Realtors had a very positive start to 2014 after a number of disappointing last four months of 2013 for the townhouse and condo segment of the Saint Lucie County real estate market.  Year to year closed sales were up by 12.3% (was down by 19.4% in December) while new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 9.1% (was  down by 29.1% in December).

Values continue to rise as the median sales price up by 4.3% (up 37.1% in December) and the average sales price rose by 45.2% (was up by 38.8% in December).

January 2014 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos

The inventory of available townhouses and condos increased from last month to 911 units which is still down by 6.5% from last January.  Current supply of inventory remained unchanged from last month to 9.4 months (still an 8.8% decrease from last year).   Back into a buyer’s market.  Unfortunately the low inventory along with the rapid increase in values is hurting the volume of condo and townhouse sales in St. Lucie County.  Once inventory starts to rise, I expect the volume to pick up as well.

The January 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes as reported by Florida Realtors began 2014 with all positive results as compared to the start of 2013.  Both closed and pending sales were up.   Year to year closed sales were up by 10.2% (was up by 8.6% in December) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 0.7% (was down by4.2% in December).

Both median and average sales prices were up ( January 2013 to January 2014) by 12.1% and 19.9% respectively.   Very good results compared to the past few months when values increased, but at a much slower rate.

The inventory of available homes for sale increased by 15% from last year.  This is now the fourth month of increased inventory.  This increase is a direct result of rising prices as many home sellers have been waiting on the side lines for improved values.  We do need to watch that inventory levels don’t rise so much as to have a negative effect on prices (law of supply and demand).  It does appear that even with the increasing inventory the traffic for the new year is quite high and I expect some strong results for next month.

Stuart Florida Homes for Sale and Sold Report 34997 ZIP Code January 2014

The Stuart Florida Market for ZIP Code 34997 started the year with mixed results.  A large rise in inventory as well as a nice jump in pending sales. Unfortunately closed sales took a big drop.  I expect closed sales for January will come up significantly and think this was just a seasonal result.
 
The current one month absorption rate rose to 8.3  months, going back into a buyers market for January (was 4.6 months absorption rate for December).  Typically a balanced market, favoring neither the seller or buyer, is represented by a 6 to 7 month absorption rate.  
 
The 2013 numbers for January, were: 361 active listings, 190 pending listings and 54 closed sales.  Inventory is higher than 2013 and overall activity was not as good as last year.
