September 2014 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes

The September 2014 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes showed a continued strong market with activity significantly outpacing the average for the state of Florida.  Year to year closed sales were up by 23.3% (was up 22.1% in August). New pending sales increased by 14.1% as compared to September of 2013 (increased by 23.9% in August). 

The median sales price was up by 4% from last year (down by .3% in August) while the average price decreased by .5% (was down by 6.8% last month).  I believe the slower price appreciation in the Marin County residential market is contributing to the active market..

The inventory of available single family homes decreased from August 2014 by 59 homes to 1,229 units this month, this still represents a 2.4% increase from last September.  Current supply of inventory decreased to 6 months from last month’s  6.4 (a 9% decrease from last year).  Currently, Martin County has a balanced market for single family home sales.

September 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

For the September 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos for the state of Florida we’re seeing positive results once again after a disappointing summer.  Year to year closed sales were up by 2.2% as compared to last months decrease of 8.8% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 1.2% (August’s decrease was 13.1%).

Both median and average sales prices were up (year to year) by 9.8% and 12% respectively (in August they were up by 3.8% and .5%). These fairly large increases can be a mixed blessing as to fast of a rate of appreciation can price many potential buyers out of the market.

Inventory rose for the twelfth month in a row, by 5.3% (was up by 8.9% in August).  The September 2014 numbers show a marked increase in activity levels and we continue as a seller’s market as there is currently a 5.8 months supply of inventory (was 5.7 months in August) which is up 8% from last year.  A 6 months inventory supply is considered a balanced market.

September 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

The September 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes as reported by Florida Realtors showed more improvement for September and at a better rate than last month.  Year to year closed sales were up by 13.5% (was up by 4.2% in August) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 10.6% (was up by 3% in August).

Both median and average sales prices continue to rise ( September 2013 to September 2014) by 5.9% and 4% respectively, compared to August’s 3.4% and 4.3%.   Slow and steady appreciation is a sign of a stable and growing real estate market.

The inventory of available homes for sale rose by 7.2% from last year.  This is now a full twelve months of increased inventory.  This increase is a direct result of rising prices as many home sellers have been waiting on the side lines for improved values.  This increase in inventory makes for greater choices and more price competition among sellers. With only a 5.4 months supply of inventory, this is a healthy market with a slight edge to sellers. (September of 2013 had a 5.3 month supply)

For the August 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos for the state of Florida we’re seeing some disappointing numbers as compared to last year.  But, this is still an active market, just not as robust as it was last August.  Year to year closed sales were off by 8.8% as compared to last months decrease of 6.7% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 13.1% (July’s decrease was 13.9%).

Both median and average sales prices were up (year to year) by 3.8% and .5% respectively (in July it was 7.4% and 2.6%). Prices rose very rapidly last year and continue to go up this year though at a much more sustainable rate.  The reduced rate of appreciation should bring some more skittish buyers back into the market.

Inventory rose for the eleventh month in a row, by 8.9% (was up by 10.9% in July).  While the August 2014 numbers show a marked decrease in activity levels this is still a seller’s market as there is currently a 5.7 months supply of inventory (was 5.7 months in July) which is up 10.9% from last year.  A 6 months inventory supply is considered a balanced market.

June 2014 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos

The June 2014 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos as reported by Florida Realtors has shown a second strong month after a somewhat difficult spring season.  Closed sales were up by 15.5% (was up by 24.6% in May) while new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 6% (was  down by 13.6% in May).  Nice to see both trends in a positive direction.

The median sales price was down by 4.6% (up 1.2% in May) and the average sales price decreased by 1.8% (was down by 1.3% in May).  This is now the third month of either decreasing values or just holding steady.  While many would like to see values continue to rise, buyers are hoping for the opposite.

The inventory of available townhouses and condos decreased by 59 units from last month to 756 units which is down by 7% from last June.  Current supply of inventory decreased to 7.2 months from the 7.8 month supply in May and is 9.2% lower than last year.  The St. Lucie County townhouse and condo market appears to be strengthening for now, though the reduction in inventory is troubling for future volume.June 2014 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos

June 2014 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos

June 2014 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos showed strong market movement with a more moderate rate of price changes as compared to the recent past.  Year to year closed sales were up by 11.5% (was up by 0.8% in May) while new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 19.4% from June 2013 (was down 20.8% in May).  The decrease in pending sales June be an indication of some future weakness in this market.

The median sales price increased by 3.1% (was down by 1.0% in May) while the average sales price decreased by 4.9% (was down 19.3% in May) as compared to June of 2013.  After nearly a year of pretty impressive price rises, values were off for the second month in a row.

 The inventory of available townhouses and condos has decreased by 7 to 558 units from last month which is also 1.8% less inventory than was available in June of 2013.  I continue to be surprised that inventory levels are still so low, considering that values have increased over 20% in the past year.  The current supply of inventory is 5.6 months (an 4% decrease from last year).  While still strong activity in this seller’s market, I’m a bit concerned over the decrease in both inventory and pending sales.
