October 2013 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes

The October 2013 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes as reported by Florida Realtors showed slightly slower activity than in most previous months this year, though still much improved from last year.   Closed sales were up by 8.5% (was 58.5% in September) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 36.2% (24.1% in September).

The median sales price was up by 20.6% from last year while unfortunately the average declined by 30.5%.October 2013 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes

The inventory of available single family homes increased this month to 1242 units but this is still down by 4.2% from last October.  Current supply of inventory is only 6.7 months (a 18.9% decrease from last year).  We are now in a balanced market for residential sales in Martin County.  Considering that this is typically the slower season for Martin County, I’m expecting a return to a sellers market once the holiday season is over.

October 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

The October 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos for the state of Florida continues to show gains though not as robust as they were earlier in the year.  Year to year closed sales were up by 3.1% as compared to last months increase of 11.4% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 3.6% (September’s increase was 4.6%).October 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

Both median and average sales prices were up (year to year) by 22.1% and 12% respectively.

One item of concern is the active inventory which has decreased again (though slightly), for October by .09%.  The reduced inventory will eventually result in lower sales volume as there just isn’t enough homes available for sale.  This will also result in strong upward pressure on prices and at some point renewed activity in new construction.  If prices rise to a level where currently underwater home owners can see a profit or even a break even price, I will expect a gradual increase in inventory.

October 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

The Florida real estate market continues to improve as reported by Florida Realtors for the October 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes, though at not quite as great a rate as in past months.  All indices have once again moved in a positive direction.  Year to year closed sales were up by 6.5% (was 18.8% in September) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 3.4% (was 10.5% in September).October 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

Both median and average sales prices were up (October 2012 to October 2013) by 16.6% and 12.6% respectively.   Very strong numbers that I expect will moderate in the next few months unless the overall state economy shows some improvements as well.

The inventory of available homes for sale increased by 3.3% from last year.  This is the first month in some time that we’ve seen an increase in inventory.  I’ve been expecting this, and as inventory increases the pressure on rising prices will ease as well.  Making the double digit gains of this past year a little more difficult to sustain.

The August 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos for the state of Florida continues to show gains though not as robust as they were in the spring of this year.  Year to year closed sales were up by 6.3% as compared to last months increase of 16.8% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 11.6% (July’s increase was 20.7%).

Both median and average sales prices were up (year to year) by a healthy 25.2% and 18.6% respectively. 

One item of concern is the active inventory which has decreased again, for August by 13.8%.  The reduced inventory will eventually result in lower sales volume as there just isn’t enough homes available for sale.  This will also result in strong upward pressure on prices and at some point renewed activity in new construction.  If prices rise to a level where currently underwater home owners can see a profit or even a break even price, I will expect a gradual increase in inventory.Florida Townhome Condo

August 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

More good news for the Florida real estate market as reported by Florida Realtors for the August 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes for the entire state of Florida.  All indices have once again moved in a positive direction with the exception of inventory (active listings), though not by quite as large percentages as last month.  Year to year closed sales were up by 12.5% (was 20.9% in July) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 17.2% (was 25.9% in June).

Both median and average sales prices were up (August 2012 to August 2013) by 18.6% and 13.6% respectively.  August results are very positive though slightly less robust than July

The inventory of available homes for sale remains a concern as it continues to decrease, down by 12.3% from last year.  The reduced inventory will eventually result in lower sales volume as there just isn’t enough homes available for sale.  This will also result in strong upward pressure on prices and at some point renewed activity in new construction.  If prices rise to a level where currently underwater home owners can see a profit or even a break even price, I will expect a gradual increase in inventory.Florida Single Family Market Detai
