For October there were mixed signals about prices with the median sales price rising by 0.9% from last year (up by 12.4% in September) while the average price decreased by 12.1% (was down by 8.1% last month).   Typically this is a result of higher prices in the lower valued range of home sales and fewer sales in the luxury market.

For October, 2016 the absorption rate is 6 month (it was 1.7 months in September).  Absorption rates in this segment of the Martin County real estate market should be taken with a liberal grain of salt, as small changes in activity make for very large changes on percentages that October not reflect a true trend in the market.

August 2016 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos

What’s Not to Love About Martin County Florida?

What’s Not to Love About Martin County Florida?

Martin County - Sailfish fountain

I’ve been in Martin County Florida for over 30 years now which makes it the place that where I’ve lived the longest time by more than triple the time of any place in my life.  It’s the perfect place to be for those with families as we boast a wonderful school system with ‘A’ rated schools that have education and extracurricular programs and top rate graduation rates.

It’s also a wonderful place for growing up for children with safe communities, low crime rates and lots of fun activities available all year long.

Martin County - downtown Stuart

And for those into active lifestyles, we have over 200 miles of waterfront for those wanting to enjoy our rivers or the crystal clear and warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean.  World class fishing is just steps outside your door or a quick ride out to the Inlet.  There’s also waterskiing and sailing.  Those that are a bit more adventurous can enjoy year long windsurfing and kiteboarding available for all levels and we have the spots available for these sports for all wind directions.

Martin County waterfront restaurants and docks

Into golf?  There are over 35 professional golf courses within a 20 mile radius of the Stuart FL area.  Courses are available for all lifestyles from public courses to exclusive private clubs.

And, if you’re retired, you will find these same activities along with world class medical facilities available in all our communities.

Martin County Beches

All this in a County that strictly regulates urban sprawl by limiting unwanted new development and controlling the density of any new projects.  There are no buildings over four stories allowed in the County and most developments are limited to only two stories.  Traffic is hardly ever an issue and when you get to the store, restaurant or vendor of your choice it is rare to not have a parking spot available within steps of the front door.

Plus, it is still an affordable area.  Retiring seniors will find some condos in excellent communities starting from as low as $50,000 while the likes of Tiger Woods and Greg Norman live in the Jupiter Island community of Martin County where you will need considerably more to have your dream estate.

Martin County Waterways

So, come on down and fall in love with Martin County, but don’t tell everyone, we want to stay small and enjoy the quality lifestyle we’ve become accustomed to.

Hobe Sound FL 33455 Condo Market Report August 2016

The Hobe Sound condo market (Zip Code 33455) is the smallest segment of the Martin County real estate market.  Inventory levels are at all time lows and it is quite remarkable that there is as much activity as there is in this small segment of the Martin County real estate market.

For August, 2016 the absorption rate is 1.3 month (it was 1 months in July).  Absorption rates in this segment of the Martin County real estate market should be taken with a liberal grain of salt, as small changes in activity make for very large changes on percentages that August not reflect a true trend in the market. An absorption rate of 6 to 7 months is considered to be a balanced market favoring neither the buyer or seller.

The August 2015 numbers were: 2 active listings, 4 pending sales and 3 closed sales.  It’s very difficult to make meaningful comparisons with such low numbers of sales and inventory.
