June 2013 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos

The June 2013 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos as reported by Florida Realtors showed a little weakness.   Year to year closed sales were off by17% after last months rise of 12.5% while new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 9.4% (was 43.4% in May

Prices, however, rose year to year  with the median sales price up by 11.8% and the average sales price up by 4.6%.

The inventory of available townhouses and condos have decreased to 775 units which is a decrease of 30.8% from last June.  Current supply of inventory is now 7.6 months (a 41.8% decrease from last year).   While these results are not quite as strong as in the single family market, they still show strong gains from previous years.  It is just a matter of time before prices start rising a bit more dramatically.  This current environment is an excellent opportunity for buyers looking into the Saint Lucie County real estate market for townhouses and condos.

June 2013 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Single Family Homes

Continuing a mostly positive trend for the June 2013 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Single Family Homes as reported by Florida Realtors.   The only negative detail was the year to year closed sales, which were down by 0.4% and while new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 42.6%!!

Both median and average sales prices were up (June 2012 to June 2013) by 23.3% and 16.6% respectively. 

One item of concern is the active inventory which continues to decrease significantly, presently only 1,664 homes, a decrease of 43.8% from last year.  Current supply of inventory is only 3.9 months (a 52.7% decrease from last year).  For June 2013 it was a strong sellers market in the St Lucie County area.  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  expect to see a gradual increase in inventory.

[singlepic id=3730 w=800 h=800 float=center]

 

For June 2013, the Stuart Florida Market Report ZIP Code 34997 bucked the trend from the other two zip codes in Stuart with a sharply higher inventory and decreased pending and closed numbers.  Whether this is just a seasonal fluctuation or a trend, it’s just to early to call.  But, as prices have started to increase it looks like some latent seller demand is coming to the market.
 
The current one month absorption rate rose to 4.9 months which still indicates a sellers market ( though it’s up from last months 3.5 month absorption rate).  Typically a balanced market, favoring neither the seller or buyer, is represented by a 6 month absorption rate.   Prices have started to rise in this zip code area of Martin County, which is probably one reason for the increased inventory.
 
The 2012 numbers were: 356 active listings, 204 pending listings and 78 closed sales.  Slightly less activity for this year, but fairly close when the reduced inventory is taken into consideration.

May 2013 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos

Another set of positive results reported by Florida Realtors for the May 2013 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos.   Year to year closed sales were up by 28% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by a very impressive 56.6%

The median sales price decreased by 5.5% while the average sales price rose by 9.74% as compared to May of 2012.

The inventory of available townhouses and condos have decreased to 612 units which is a decrease of 28.4% from last May.  Current supply of inventory is only 6.2 months (a 39.2% decrease from last year).  For the Martin County townhouse and condo market, these results are very similar to our single family home market as both segments rapidly approach a balanced market that favors neither the buyer nor seller.

May 2013 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes

Solid market activity though not as strong as previous spring reports for the May 2013 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes as reported by Florida Realtors.   Year to year closed sales were up by 5.5% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 43.7%

Both the median and average sales prices decreased this month by year to year percentages of 16.3% and 20.2% respectively.

The inventory of available single family homes have decreased to only 1166 units which id down by 29.9% from last May.  Current supply of inventory is only 6.8 months (a 40.2% decrease from last year).   If this trend continues (and we see no reason to doubt it) we will soon be in a balanced market for the single family real estate market in Martin County.  There’s no reason not to expect a sellers market should the inventory continue to decrease.

May 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

More positive results reported by Florida Realtors for the May 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos for the entire state of Florida.  All indices have moved in a positive direction again as have the single family report for May 2013.  Year to year closed sales were up by 18.7% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by a whopping 30.8%.

Both median and average sales prices were up (May 2012 to May 2013) by 15.9% and 11.4% respectively. 

One item of concern is the active inventory which has decreased by almost 23.7%.  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.
