St Lucie County Single Family Homes March 2017 Market Detail

St Lucie County Single Family Homes Market Detail for March 2017 showed improved activity for the month.  Closed sales were up by 11.6% (in February they were up by 5.1%) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 4.4% (they were down by 0.5% last month).

Prices continue to show very strong increases.  The median and average sales prices up by 15.7% and 14.9% respectively from last March (For February these numbers were up 18.2% and 16.6%).  While these are very good results for sellers, they make me a little nervous as rates of increase this high may result in lower affordability of homes and subsequently less sales in the future.

Active listings decreased by 74 homes to 1,740 homes.  This inventory is 8.0% lower than last year.  The current supply of homes is at 3.9 months (was 4.1 months for February)  This is 4.9% lower than last year.  The St Lucie County single family home market remains a strong sellers market.  A balanced market is one with a 6 to 7 month supply of inventory.

Florida Townhouses and Condos March 2017 Market Detail

Florida Townhouses and Condos March 2017 Market Detail

The Florida Townhouses and Condos Market Detail for March 2017 continued with strong sales activity.   Closed sales were up by 11.4% as compared to last months increase of 4.1% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 7.1% (In February there was a 0.5% increase).

Values continued to increase though at a strong pace.  Median sales prices were up by 9.4% (was up by 11.7% in February), while the average sales price increased by 10.7% (was up 8.5% in February).  As sales activity decreases and if inventory continues to increase, I expect these prices to continue to moderate, though they are staying pretty resilient at this time.

The inventory decreased by 0.1% from March of last year.  For March 2017 we have 6.3 months of inventory (was  6.4 months in February) and compared to 6.2 months for March 2016.  We remain in a balanced market for Florida townhouse and condo sales but are drifting slowly towards a buyers market in the past year. A balanced market favoring neither buyers or sellers is considered to be one with a 6 to 7 month supply of inventory.

 Hobe Sound FL 33455 Condo Market Report March 2017

The Hobe Sound condo market (Zip Code 33455) is the smallest segment of the Martin County real estate market.  There continues to be solid activity, though with such small numbers, trends are difficult to analyze.

The absorption rate for Hobe Sound condos decreased to 4.0 months for March (was 6.5 in February).  A sellers market for Hobe Sound condos. Absorption rates in this segment of the Martin County real estate market should be taken with a liberal grain of salt, as small changes in activity make for very large changes on percentages that do not reflect a true trend in the market. An absorption rate of 6 to 7 months is considered to be a balanced market favoring neither the buyer or seller.

The March 2016 numbers were: 5 active listings, 7 pending sales and 3 closed sales.  Activity seems to be improving here but it’s very difficult to make meaningful comparisons with such low numbers of sales and inventory, though this segment appears to be returning to more normal volume.
