April 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

April 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

The April 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos is beginning to show some slower activity tahn in past years drifting out of a sellers market and currently in a balanced one.  Closed sales were down by 5.3% as compared to last months decrease of 7.1% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 5.7% (In March there was a 10.1% decrease).  While on the single family side of the Florida real estate market this decrease in volume can be attributed to inventory, for condos and townhouses it appears to be strictly price related as the inventory has been gaining in the past few months.

Inexplicably, prices continue to rise, though at a slower pace than for the past few years.  The median sales price was up by 4.4% (up by 3.3% in March), while the average sales price increased by 2.9% (was down 3.9% in March).  Should the inventory continue to rise with slow sales, I expect these price increase to shrink in the near future.

The inventory increased by 7.5% from April of last year.  For April 2016 we have 6.3 months of inventory (was also 6.3 months in March) and compared to 5.9 for April 2015.  We are currently in a balanced market for Florida townhouse and condo sales.

April 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

April 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

The April 2016 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes shows continued strong activity but less robust than last year primarily because of reduced inventory and strong price increases.  Closed sales were down by 0.6% (was also down by 0.6% in March) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) were down by 4.2% (was down by 6.3% in March).

Both median and average sales prices continue to rise ( April 2015 to April 2016) by 9.2% and 3.8% respectively, compared to March’s 10.3% and 4.9%.  These year to year price increases remain very strong, and in my opinion, unsustainable for the long run.  But, for now, these increases show no signs of abating.

The inventory of available homes for sale fell by 23% from last year.  Higher demand areas of Florida have seen decreasing inventory for more than three years now.  For April there was only a 4.5 months supply of inventory as Florida remains in a sellers market with the advantage for sellers. (April of 2015 had a 4.8 month supply)  A balanced market favoring neither buyers or sellers is considered to be one with a 6 to 7 month supply of inventory.

The Hobe Sound condo market (Zip Code 33455) is the smallest segment of the Martin County real estate market.  April showed strong activity for the little existing inventory available for Hobe Sound Condos.

There were no sales in Hobe Sound condos for both January and March, but for April the absorption rate is 1.3 months, for December of 2015 it was 1.7 months.  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 may 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 April 2015 numbers were: 10 active listings, 2 pending sales and 5 closed sales.  Considering we have just over half the active inventory from last year, this months sales volume is impressive.
