Florida Single Family Homes December 2021 Market Report

The Florida Single Family Home market activity had weaker sales volume compared to last December.  The unprecedented low volume of inventory is the primary cause.  Closed sales were down by 1.6% (were up by 4.3% in November). New sales under contract (new pending sales) were up by 4.2% (were down by 1.6% in November).

Prices, however, continue to rise.  The median sales price rose by 21.0% (it was up by 19.6% in November). And, the average sales price was up by 19.0% (it was up by 17.2% last month).

The inventory of available homes for sale decreased by 33.7% from last year.  This represents only a 1.0 month supply of inventory. Florida remains in an extreme seller’s market with a major advantage for sellers. (December 2020 had a 1.8 months supply)  A balanced market favoring neither buyers nor sellers is considered to be one with 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.

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.
