Martin County Townhouses and Condos April 2022 Market Report

The Martin County Townhouses and Condos had weaker sales volume when compared to last April. Due mostly because we continue to be in a market with unprecedented low inventory and increasing borrowing costs. Closed sales for the month were down by 24.8%.  They were down by 27.6% in March.  New sales under contract (new pending sales) were down by 26.3% from last year.  They were down by 20.7% in March.

Prices, however, continued to rise for April.  The median sales price increased by 22.9% (was up by 23.9% last month). While the average sales price increased by 0.1% (was up by 8.5% in March).

The inventory of available townhouses and condos remained steady at 117 properties.  This is a 32.4% smaller supply of inventory than we had in April 2021.  Currently, there’s a 1.1 months supply of inventory (compared to 1.6 months for April 2022).  We remain in a very extreme seller’s market for townhouses and condos in Martin County. Typically, a balanced market favoring neither buyers nor sellers is considered to be one with a 6 to 7 month supply of inventory.

St. Lucie County Townhouses and Condos 2022 1st Quarter Report

Click the image below to view the full details of the St. Lucie County townhouses and condos market report data as reported by St. Lucie County Realtor for the 1st Quarter of 2022.

St. Lucie County Townhouses and Condos 2022 1st Quarter Report

For the 1st quarter of 2022, the Saint Lucie Count townhouses and condo real estate market had weaker sales volume when compared to the 1st quarter of 2021.  This is mostly due to the unprecedented low inventory of available homes and to a lesser extent the rapidly rising prices and higher interest rates. For the near future, I don’t see the inventory rising by any significant amount. This should continue to depress real estate sales volume for a while.

St. Lucie County Single Family Homes 2022 1st Quarter Report

Unlike most other areas in our market, the St. Lucie County single-family home real estate market had an improved sales volume when compared to the 1st quarter of 2021.   These sales results are quite remarkable considering the current unprecedented low inventory. There is very active new home construction in place in Saint Lucie County which may explain these positive results. Prices were also higher during this period with very large gains. If the construction of new inventory continues in St. Lucie County, these sales numbers may continue to show positive results. One f the few laces in the state (and nationally) to do so.
