16 Condos Sold (Up by 10 condos from February)

 The Jensen Beach Condo market (zip code 34957) is a very small segment of the Martin County condo market.  After 4 months of slowly increasing inventory, inventory declined for the last three months in a row.   For as small a segment as this is, activity for March was quite strong with only a small drop in pending sales and and a very strong jump in the closed sale numbers.

The one month absorption rate for the March 2014, Jensen Beach Florida Market Report ZIP Code 34957 is at an incredible 1.4 months (4.5 months in February), meaning the average condo is selling in under 90 days.  A balanced market is considered to be a 6 to 7 month absorption rate favoring neither the buyer or seller.

The March 2012 numbers were: 54 active listings, 28 pending sales and 13 condos closed.   Better absolute numbers last year, but there was more than double the inventory.  With such low numbers of available condos in the Jensen Beach zip code, I’m predicting considerably slower activity for the near future.

For February 2014 in the 34957 Zip Code area of Jensen Beach, Florida (Martin County) :

There are currently 27 active listings. (Decreased by 7 condos from January)

20 Condo sales are pending and awaiting close or lender approval. (Up by 1 condos from January)

The Jensen Beach Condo market (zip code 34957) is a fairly small segment of the Martin County condo market.  After 4 months of slowly increasing inventory, inventory declined for the last two months.   For as small a segment as this is, activity for February was quite strong with good pending and closed sale numbers.

The one month absorption rate for the February 2014, Jensen Beach Florida Market Report ZIP Code 34957 dropped to 4.5  months (8.5 months in January), back into a sellers market.  A balanced market is considered to be a 6 to 7 month absorption rate favoring neither the buyer or seller.

The February 2012 numbers were: 60 active listings, 31 pending sales and 9 condos closed.   The most striking comparison to last year is the available inventory is less than half of what it was last year.  With that in mind, the relative activity is quite strong.

The Jensen Beach Condo market (zip code 34957) is a fairly small segment of the Martin County condo market.  After 4 months of slowly increasing inventory, active listings once again declined.   We ended 2013 with a nice jump in closed sales, but for January sales once again declined.  About the only good news is a nice increase in pending sales.

The one month absorption rate for the January 2014, Jensen Beach Florida Market Report ZIP Code 34957 jumped to 8.5  months (4.1 months in December), back into a buyers’ market.  A balanced market is considered to be a 6 to 7 month absorption rate favoring neither the buyer or seller.

The January 2012 numbers were: 66 active listings, 27 pending sales and 5 condos closed.   Almost double the inventory last year, so with that percentage this condo market is still doing OK, but we need more active listings for any movement to be possible.
