The de la Bahia condo complex is located on Kanner Hwy just west of Monterey Road in Stuart which is in Martin County, Florida. This waterfront 55+ boating community lies on the shore of the south fork of the Saint Lucie River which also becomes the Okeechobee Waterway as it goes west.
The condos consist of 1 bedroom 1 and 1/2 bath, 2 bedroom 1 and 1/2 bath and 2 bedroom 2 bath condos. Condo fees run from $223 to $340 per month depending on the size of the condo. These fees include Cable, Common Areas, Grounds / Plants, Insurance-Bldg, Lawn Care, Maintenance Exterior, Reserve Funds, Roof Maintenance, Sewer, Trash Removal and Water.
This prime location is approximately 40 minutes North of West Palm Beach, and 100 miles north of Miami. Very conveniently located near many restaurants, stores, and medical facilities.
The de la Bahia condominium complex is made up of 303 residences, 231 docks, a pool, a clubhouse, shuffleboard courts, and a yacht club for the residents. The marina is for the use of residents only, and for those condos that don’t have a deeded dock, there are vacant ones available for use. Rental charges for the use of docks are not allowed, so there won’t be any charges.
There’s a very active winter season, which normally includes two dinner dances a month, golf and bowling leagues, bingo, euchre, bridge, exercise class, knitting & stitching. The pool is heated and is a great place to meet people, swim, sunbathe, or even join in playing a board game of your choice. And the library has a good selection of books to read if you prefer to enjoy a quiet peaceful afternoon.
The Yacht Club has monthly meetings with a guest speaker, raft-ups, picnics, luncheon cruises, gambling cruises, two socials, and for the last few years has sponsored a 3 to 5 day cruise in January. Membership is open to de la Bahia renters and owners only, boat ownership is not required and dues are very reasonable.

St Lucie County Single Family Homes Market Detail for January 2017 showed improved sales activity with improved results year to year. Closed sales were up by 8.1% (in December they were up by 8.9%) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) also increased by 8.1% (they were up by 4.8% last month).
Prices also continued their upward march. The median and average sales prices up by 8.9% and 16.1% respectively from last January (For December these numbers were up 13.9% and 12.0%). 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 112 homes to 1,844 homes. This inventory is 2.7% higher than last year. The current supply of homes is at 4.1 months (4.0 months for January of 2016) This is 2.5% greater than last year. The St Lucie County single family home market remains in a strong sellers market.

The Florida Townhouses and Condos Market Detail for January 2017 began the year with mostly positive activity when compared to last year and the previous month. Closed sales were up by 6.2% as compared to last months decrease of 5.2% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 6.5% (In December there was a 2.1% decrease).
Values continued to increase though at a more moderate pace. Median sales prices were up by 6.6% (was up by 7.7% in December), while the average sales price increased by 4.0% (was up 4.2% in December). 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 increased by 6.3% from January of last year. For January 2017 we have 6.4 months of inventory (was 6.0 months in December) and compared to 5.8 for January 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.

For January 2017 in the 33455 Zip Code area of Hobe Sound, Florida :
There are currently 13 active condo listings. (Up by 2 condos from December)
1 Condo is pending and awaiting close. (Down by 1 pending condo from December)
14 Condos sold in January. (Increased by 10 closed sales from December)
The Hobe Sound condo market (Zip Code 33455) is the smallest segment of the Martin County real estate market. This was a big month for closed sales, the best for the year in Hobe Sound Condos. Inventory remains challenged and only 1 pending sale for the month.
The absorption rate for Hobe Sound condos was 0.9 months for January (was 2.75 in December). 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 January 2016 numbers were: 6 active listings, 2 pending sales and 0 closed sales. 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.
