61 Homes Sold in February (Up 1 homes from February)

Another positive month for the 34997 zip code area of Stuart Florida.  This segment of the martin County real estate market is just HOT!  Inventory took a huge drop again in March while pending sales also rose significantly and closed sales remained steady with a significant number of sold homes.  There is an exceptionally large number of contingent sales (pendings) that are awaiting lender approval in the form of short sales.  Hopefully, the majority of these will receive approval and close.  It is significant to note that the active inventory has decreased by over 100 homes in the past two months, representing a close to 25% drop in active listings!

Compared to March of 2011, when there were 606 active listings, 197 pending sales and 77 closed sales, the 34997 area code for Stuart, Florida continues to show great improvement with considerably improved numbers, even with less inventory available.

The inventory continues to decline in the Stuart condo market for the area in ZIP code 34996.  Sales activity remained steady with only 2 less sales compared to February and pending sales took a nice jump by 18 units.  These are very strong signs for this segment of the market.  There was a fairly good mix of both Island units as well as some of the lesser-priced senior condos on the mainland selling last month.

Compared to the end of last year in March of 2011, the numbers were 242 active listings, 34 pending sales, and 36 closed sales.  While closed sales were off from last year, the mix of sales shows a higher number of more expensive Island Condos as well as the fact that there are approximately 20% fewer units actively for sale at this time.

Sewalls Point Market Report – Residential, March 2012

Sewalls Point Real Estate Snapshot, Residential Sales for March 2012

There are currently 61 active listings (a decrease of 5 homes for sale from February)

12 Residential sales are pending and awaiting close or lender approval (An increase of 3 from February)

3 Homes sold in February (Unchanged from February)

Better results for the Sewalls Point market report. Inventory has gone down a little (5) to 61 homes while sales remained slow at 3 closed homes and pending sales were up slightly to 12 homes. Compared to other parts of martin County which continue to have fairly strong results, the Sewalls Point market is a bit sluggish, but showing activity is high and I suspect we should have increasing sales in the next few months. The Sewalls Point price point remains high for many of today’s buyers and this is possibly what is causing the slow activity at present.

Comparing the results to March of 2011, the inventory is basically unchanged as there were 60 homes on the market last year, pending sales were 11, and 2 homes sold.  Basically the same as last year.  The Sewalls Point average price point remains high for many of today’s buyers and this is possibly what is causing the slow activity at present.

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for February 2012

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for February 2012

Commentary:

Much like the residential segment of the Martin County real estate market, the Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for February 2012 showed modest increases for February of 2012. Sales for February were a respectable 57 units, up by 3 from February of 2011 (54 units) and also up from January which had 37 sales. On a negative note, the median sales price took a dive to $85,000.  This is most likely a reflection of the mix of condos that sold in February as opposed to a big drop in values.  More of the lower priced mainland condos were the ones that drove down the median price.

The inventory continues to decline and is now down to 640 condos, which is down from 664 units last month and from 772 condos in February of 2011.  This is the lowest inventory since November of 2005 which was prior to the ‘bubble’.  A decreased inventory will trigger an increase in demand as the supply of existing units just isn’t available increasing the urgency for buyers.

The one month absorption rate is now at 11.23 months, while the three month average is at 13.54 months.  Considerably better than the 14.3 and 15.51 months of February 2011. We still need to see the absorption rate below 9 months for a healthy market and down to 6 or 7 months to be considered a balanced one.

The big uncertainty that remains is the economy. We believe that if we have any sustained good news, we will see a pretty good rush on the market which will be a nice change from the present. For the longer term, even though we have the best mortgage rates in history at the moment, inflation is making news and this is not good for rates down the line. The Fed is working hard to keep rates down, but for how long, we’re just not to sure.

Our outlook for Martin County is fairly positive as for buyers, prices and rates remain very attractive. For sellers, it doesn’t look like we’re going to see any significant improvements soon, so if you need to sell, you may be better off now than possibly in the near future.

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for February 2012

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for February 2012

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida residential market report for February 2012 showed excellent results. The sales volume of 116 homes was the exact same as last year and up by 18 homes from January (98). The one month absorption rate was down to 11.85 months while the three month moving average is at 11.31 months. Activity remains high and I expect some fairly respectable numbers for the coming months.

Both average and median sales prices were up from January.  In fact, average sales prices have risen for the last two months.  Along with this trend, listing prices are also inching up, and have been rising for the past six months.  The inventory declined to 1375 residential units.  This is the lowest value since October of 2005, before the ‘bubble’.  The reduction of inventory is what is exerting strong pressure on possible price increases.  While a continuing trickle of distressed properties (short sales and foreclosures) are counteracting the upward price pressure.

Our outlook for Martin County remains optimistic as prices and rates remain at historic low levels. For sellers, homes are selling, and if priced and presented optimally, they are going quickly. Buyers are seeing historically low interest rates and very affordable quality homes in almost all price ranges.

There are currently 32 active condo listings. (Unchanged from last January)

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

  1 Condo Sale closed in February (Down 4 from January)

The Hobe Sound condo market (Zip Code 33455) is a tiny segment of both Hobe Sound real estate as well as the smallest condo market on the Treasure Coast. February showed very little change from previous months, with only 1 sale closed. With such a low inventory, I don’t expect to see any great movement in this segment of the Treasure Coast Florida condo market. Last February’s numbers were 48 active listings, 12 pending sales and 3 closed sales.

The 34990 zip code area of the Palm City condo market is a fairly small section of this area as most property in Palm City is either single-family homes or townhomes.

Last year at this time there were 71 active listings, 9 pending sales, and 3 closed sales as compared to this year’s 1 and 5 respectively. The condo market remains significantly more sluggish compared to the single-family residential market.
