Martin County Single Family Homes September 2022 Market Report

The Martin County Single Family Homes Market Report showed considerably weaker activity than last September. While the historically low inventory is slowly improving (though still low), we are also facing rising interest rates and higher prices. I expect inventory to continue to increase which will exert downward pressure on prices and hopefully an increase in sales. Though, this will take some time. Closed sales were down by 15.3% from last year (they were down by 17.6% in August).  While new pending sales decreased by 38.6% as compared to last year (decreased by 6.8% last month).

Prices were up for the month of September.  The median sales price increased from last year by 21.1% (up by 33.3% in August) while the average sales price increased by 18.2% (down by 0.5% last month).

The inventory of available single-family homes decreased by 4 from last month to 486. This is a 67.6% larger inventory than last September.  The current supply of homes is 2.7 months.  For September of last year, it was 1.2 months of supply.  We remain in an extreme seller’s market for Martin County single-family home sales.  A balanced market favoring neither buyers nor sellers is considered to be a 6 to 7 month supply of inventory.

About the Pines and Windemere in Jensen Beach FL:

The Pines and Windemere

The Pines and Windemere homes for sale:

Located adjacent to the new Jensen Beach High School, and Felix A. Williams elementary school, among Martin County’s best schools, is only one reason why The Pines and Windemere communities are so desirable.

The Pines and Windemere in Jensen Beach FL

Some residents have stated “sending our children to Felix A. Williams is like having a private school in our own backyard.”  And as far as Jensen Beach High School: “Our Kids can walk to the new High School”.

Recent sales in the Pines and Windemere:

In addition to the best schools, The Pines is located just a little over 2 miles from the beautiful unspoiled beaches of Hutchinson Island, a fantastic public golf course (Eagle Marsh) is right next door, a regional park that offers little league and soccer and many family attractions.  “we can play golf without the high cost just next door.”

For others, the best shops of the Treasure Coast Mall with a new 13-plex theater are within walking distance and grocery stores are located nearby.

World-famous fishing is just a ride away. Stuart is known as the “Sailfish capital of the world.”

The Pines

Adjacent to the Pines is the smaller community of Windemere and the Preserves.  D.R. Horton has recently completed building brand new homes in both the Pines and Windemere subdivisions at some very affordable prices.

Neither the Pines or Windemere offers the amenities of a community pool or clubhouse which keeps the HOA fees quite low at $55.00 and $60.00 a month respectively.

The Pines
Some Extra History:

When these developments were planned the original intent was to combine the two for ease of access.  However, the County decided to nix these plans as they felt that out of area residents would use Windemere Drive as a shortcut between US-1 and Jensen Beach and making a lot of congestion in this community.

Florida Single Family Homes June 2022 Market Report

The Florida Single Family Home market activity had lower sales volume compared to last June.  While we continue to have historically low inventory, we are also facing rising interest rates and higher prices. I expect inventory to continue to increase which will exert downward pressure on prices and hopefully an increase in sales. Though, this will take some time. (Don’t ask me how long!) Closed sales were down by 17.2% (were down by 6.9% in May). New sales under contract (new pending sales) were down by 20.9% (were down by 13.1% in May).

Prices are still going up.  The median sales price rose by 19.7% (it was up by 21.8% in May). And, the average sales price was up by 13.9% (it was up by 15.6% last month).

The inventory of available homes for sale increased by 61.8% from last year.  This represents only a 1.9 months supply of inventory. Florida remains in a seller’s market with a major advantage for sellers. (June 2021 had a 1.1 months supply)  A balanced market favoring neither buyers nor sellers is considered to be one with a 6 to 7 month supply of inventory.

The Martin County Single Family Homes Market Report showed considerably weaker activity than last May. We remain in a market with low inventory (though that is in the process of changing) and rising borrowing costs that are significantly affecting the real estate market.  Closed sales were down by 20.9% from last year (were down by 32.2% in April).  While new pending sales decreased by 27.2% as compared to last year (decreased by 31.9% last month).

The inventory of available single-family homes increased by 73 homes from last month to 341 homes. This is a 23.6% larger inventory than last May.  The current supply of homes is 1.7 months.  For May of last year, it was 1.2 months of supply.  We remain in an extreme seller’s market for Martin County single-family home sales.  A balanced market favoring neither buyers nor sellers is considered to be a 6 to 7 month supply of inventory.
