September 2016 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Single Family Homes

September 2016 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Single Family Homes showed reduced sales activity from last September.  Closed sales were down by 6.6% (in August they were up by 8.3%) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 11.5% (they were down by 15.1% last month).

Prices, however, continue their upward march at strong rates.  The median and average sales prices up by 10.0% and 10.6% respectively from last September (For August these numbers were 18.7% and 20.2%).  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 increased by 57 homes to 1,671 homes.  This inventory is 11.0% higher than last year.  The current supply of homes is at 3.7 months (3.3 months for September of 2015)  This is 12.1% greater than last year.  The St Lucie County single family home market remains in a very strong sellers market.  A balanced market is one with a 6 to 7 month supply of inventory.

The inventory of available homes for sale fell by 1.6% from last year.  For September there was only a 4.2 months supply of inventory as Florida remains in a sellers market with the advantage for sellers.

Hobe Sound FL 33455 Condo Market Report September 2016

The Hobe Sound condo market (Zip Code 33455) is the smallest segment of the Martin County real estate market.  Inventory levels are at all time lows and it is quite remarkable that there is as much activity as there is in this small segment of the Martin County real estate market.

For September, 2016 the absorption rate is 1.7 month (it was 1.3 months in August).  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 September 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 September 2015 numbers were: 2 active listings, 4 pending sales and 2 closed sales.  It’s very difficult to make meaningful comparisons with such low numbers of sales and inventory.
