March 2014 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes

The March 2014 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes is showing some slower growth and even retracting in some areas (much like many other areas in FL this month).  Year to year closed sales were off by 14.7% (was up 10.8% in February). New pending sales increased by 17.5% as compared to March of 2013 (decreased by 30.4% in February).  An increase in the pending sales indicates a good possibility of better closed activity for the near future

The median sales price was up by 4% from last year (up by 5.7% in February) while the average price dropped by 25.1% (was down by 18.3% last month).  This is a dramatic indication of the continued activity for the lower price ranges and a slower sales volume in the higher end luxury market.

The inventory of available single family homes increased from February 2014 by 61 homes to 1,429 units this month, representing a 12.2% increase from last March.  Current supply of inventory rose to 7.5 months (a 2.9% decrease from last year).  Hovering just outside of a balanced market for now with a slight advantage for buyers.

March 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

For the March 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos for the state of Florida continues to struggle in volume as the prices have soared. It appears that the prices have risen much to fast for consumer demand to keep up.  Year to year closed sales were down by 5.2% as compared to last months decrease of 6.8% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 6.2% (February’s decrease was 14.5%).

Both median and average sales prices were up (year to year) by 16.7% and 16.1% respectively (in February it was 15.2% and 13.9%). These strong price appreciations is what I suspect is the cause of the decrease in market activity for condos and townhouses in Florida for March.

Inventory rose for the fifth month in a row, by 7%.  The rising inventory should produce some pressure to moderate the price increases.  This should help regain the momentum of sales.  The 6 month supply of inventory is a good sign that we are in a balanced market.

March 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

The March 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes as reported by Florida Realtors showed improved results from last month, but still not nearly as robust as last year.    Year to year closed sales were up, but only by 2.8% (was up by 1.5% in February) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 2.1% (was down by 5.5% in February).

Both median and average sales prices were up ( March 2013 to March 2014) by 7.1% and 6.3% respectively, compared to February’s 10% and 11%.   While still very positive numbers, the rate of appreciation appears to be slowing.

The inventory of available homes for sale increased by 16.8% from last year.  This is now the sixth month 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.  I suspect that the reduced rate of increasing values and home sales are a direct result of the increasing inventory.  Currently, there are just not enough buyers to absorb this increase fully.

February 2014 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos

The February 2014 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos as reported by Florida Realtors once again showed some disappointing results after a good start to the year in January.  Year to year closed sales were down by 8.2% (was up by 12.3% in January) while new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 28.2% (was  down by 9.1% in January).  This decreased volume is concerning.  Most of it, I suspect, is from the rapid price increases this past year, though with this month, this appears to be easing as well.

The median sales price up by 15% (up 4.3% in January) and the average sales price dropped by 14.4% (was up by an impressive 45.2% in January).

The inventory of available townhouses and condos decreased by 10 units from last month to 901 units which is still down by 8.1% from last February.  Current supply of inventory remained unchanged from last month to 9.4 months (still an 4.6% decrease from last year).   This is a buyers market at present and the lower prices will most likely continue until inventory and closed sales pick up.

February 2014 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Single Family Homes as reported by Florida Realtors closed out 2013 continues to show good closed activity, though there is reduced pending numbers, which could signal a bit more of a slow down.  Closed sales from last year were up by 14,1% (in January they were up by 4.8%) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 14.8% (they were down by 12.9% last month).

February 2014 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos

February 2014 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos report showed some disappointing results as to volume of activity, though prices continued to soar.  Year to year closed sales were down by 1% (was up by 4.3% in January) while new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 27% (was down 20.9% in January).

The median sales price increased by 17.6% (was up by 15.2% in January) while the average sales price increased by 20.6% (was up 15.2% in January) as compared to February of 2013.  These large price increases are most likely responsible for the drop in volume as many buyers are simply being priced out of the market.

 The inventory of available townhouses and condos has decreased by 3 to 635 units from last month which is 15% less inventory than was available in February of 2013.  With values going up as much as they have, I would have expected higher inventory levels.  The current supply of inventory is 6.4 months (a 24.4% decrease from last year).

February 2014 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes

The February 2014 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes continues with mostly positive news, though at a considerably reduced rate of appreciation and volume.  New pending sales were off by 30.4% as compared to February of 2013 (decreased by 18.8% in January).  The reduced number of pending sales are an possible indication of slower closed volume in the coming months. Year to year closed sales were up by 10.8% (was up 29.9% in January).

The median sales price was up by 5.7% from last year (up by 24.7% in January) while the average price dropped by 18.3% (was down by 8.5% last month).  The slowing rate of appreciation will help future sales as the fairly dramatic increases of last year simply priced to many buyers out of the market.

The inventory of available single family homes increased from January 2014 to 1,368 units this month, and this is a 10.3% increase from last February.  Current supply of inventory is only 7 months (a 9.6% decrease from last year).  If this trend continues we’ll be back into a buyers market in Martin County for single family homes next month.  Though indications of activity for March seem to be fairly positive.

For the February 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos for the state of Florida activity slowed considerably as compared to last year.  Hopefully, this is just a one month issue.   Year to year closed sales were down by 6.8% as compared to last months increase of 9.3% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 14.5% (January’s decrease was 6%). 

Both median and average sales prices were up (year to year) by 15.2% and 13.9% respectively (in January it was 17% and 21%).  I suspect that these very strong price gains are what is now slowing the sales activity as many buyers are simply being priced out of the market.

Inventory rose for the fourth month in a row, by 3.7%.  The rising inventory should produce some pressure to moderate the price increases.  This should help regain the momentum of sales.

The January 2014 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos as reported by Florida Realtors had a very positive start to 2014 after a number of disappointing last four months of 2013 for the townhouse and condo segment of the Saint Lucie County real estate market.  Year to year closed sales were up by 12.3% (was down by 19.4% in December) while new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 9.1% (was  down by 29.1% in December).

Values continue to rise as the median sales price up by 4.3% (up 37.1% in December) and the average sales price rose by 45.2% (was up by 38.8% in December).

January 2014 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos

The inventory of available townhouses and condos increased from last month to 911 units which is still down by 6.5% from last January.  Current supply of inventory remained unchanged from last month to 9.4 months (still an 8.8% decrease from last year).   Back into a buyer’s market.  Unfortunately the low inventory along with the rapid increase in values is hurting the volume of condo and townhouse sales in St. Lucie County.  Once inventory starts to rise, I expect the volume to pick up as well.
