November 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

November 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

The Florida real estate market showed some weakness for the November 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes as reported by Florida Realtors.  Both closed and pending sales were off.   Year to year closed sales were down by 1.2% (were up by 6.5 % in October) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 5.9% (was up by 3.4% in October).

Florida Single Family

Both median and average sales prices were up (November 2012 to November 2013) by 13.3% and 7.1% respectively.   Not quite as much of an increase as in previous months this year, but those kinds of increases were unsustainable.

The inventory of available homes for sale increased by 10% from last year.  This is now the second month of increased inventory.  I’ve written in the past that I was expecting this increase which is a direct cause of the easing of the price increases as the supply expands. I would like to see the volume of closed sales be higher and with the current excellent economic news, I expect these numbers to go up soon.

Stuart Florida Market Report ZIP Code 34997 Residential November 2013

Mostly positive signs from the Stuart Florida Market Report ZIP Code 34997 residential real estate market.  Unlike many other areas of Martin County the 34997 zip code had a significant rise in inventory in the past two months.  Closed sales were also up.  The only point of some concern was a drop in pending activity for November.
 
The current one month absorption rate dropped to 5.6 months making this segment of the Stuart residential market once again a seller’s market (up from last months 6.15 month absorption rate).  Typically a balanced market, favoring neither the seller or buyer, is represented by a 6 to 7 month absorption rate.  
 
The 2012 numbers were: 359 active listings, 191 pending listings and 44 closed sales.   Interestingly there’s a significantly higher inventory for this segment of the Martin County real estate market.  Closed activity is much higher for this year.  While the number of potential future sales (pending inventory) is a bit worrisome this month.

The inventory of active listings rose in October (from last month) to 2104 homes, still down by 8.1% from last year.  Current supply of inventory is only 4.9 months (a 18.3% decrease from last year).  For October 2013 this remains a strong sellers market in the St Lucie County area.  However with the significant rise in prices as well as increasing mortgage rates, the current trend appears to be leveling off as inventory also is starting to rebound.  I expect continued good activity for the Saint Lucie County single family market but I wouldn’t be surprised to see a moderation in the rising values.

The October 2013 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos continues to showed some weakness of the year to year results.  After some surprisingly strong results from last month.  We are now well into our slower season, however we are comparing to last years results for the same period.   Year to year closed sales were up by 1.1% ( up by 36.2% in September) while new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 36.2% (was down 8% in September).October 2013 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos

October 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

The October 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos for the state of Florida continues to show gains though not as robust as they were earlier in the year.  Year to year closed sales were up by 3.1% as compared to last months increase of 11.4% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 3.6% (September’s increase was 4.6%).October 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

Both median and average sales prices were up (year to year) by 22.1% and 12% respectively.

One item of concern is the active inventory which has decreased again (though slightly), for October by .09%.  The reduced inventory will eventually result in lower sales volume as there just isn’t enough homes available for sale.  This will also result in strong upward pressure on prices and at some point renewed activity in new construction.  If prices rise to a level where currently underwater home owners can see a profit or even a break even price, I will expect a gradual increase in inventory.

The Florida real estate market continues to improve as reported by Florida Realtors for the October 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes, though at not quite as great a rate as in past months.  All indices have once again moved in a positive direction.  Year to year closed sales were up by 6.5% (was 18.8% in September) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 3.4% (was 10.5% in September).October 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

Both median and average sales prices were up (October 2012 to October 2013) by 16.6% and 12.6% respectively.   Very strong numbers that I expect will moderate in the next few months unless the overall state economy shows some improvements as well.

The inventory of available homes for sale increased by 3.3% from last year.  This is the first month in some time that we’ve seen an increase in inventory.  I’ve been expecting this, and as inventory increases the pressure on rising prices will ease as well.  Making the double digit gains of this past year a little more difficult to sustain.

The inventory of active listings rose in September (from last month) to 1947 homes, still down by 24.1% from last year.  Current supply of inventory is only 4.5 months (a 33.6% decrease from last year) and unchanged from August.  For September 2013 this remains a strong sellers market in the St Lucie County area.  Lower inventory typically results in lower sales volume as there just isn’t enough homes available for sale.  This will also result in strong upward pressure on prices and at some point renewed activity in new construction.  Prices have been rising because of the shortage of inventory and the slow recovery of the market.September 2013 Market Detail for  Saint Lucie County Single Family

Positive reports for the September 2013 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes as reported by Florida Realtors.  Surprisingly strong results compared to many other areas of the state for September.   Closed sales were up by 58.5% (was 9.1% in August) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 24.1% (35.2% in August).

September 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

The September 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos for the state of Florida continues to show gains though not as robust as they were in the spring of this year.  Year to year closed sales were up by 11.4% as compared to last months increase of 6.3% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 4.6% (August’s increase was 11.6%).

Both median and average sales prices were up (year to year) by a healthy 23.5% and 16.9% respectively. Florida Condo and Townhouse

One item of concern is the active inventory which has decreased again, for September by 7.9%.  The reduced inventory will eventually result in lower sales volume as there just isn’t enough homes available for sale.  This will also result in strong upward pressure on prices and at some point renewed activity in new construction.  If prices rise to a level where currently underwater home owners can see a profit or even a break even price, I will expect a gradual increase in inventory.
