January 2016 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos

January 2016 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos

January 2016 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos  began 2016 with dissapointing closed volumes while also showing some very heft price increases.  Closed sales were down by 20.2% (was up by 1.8% in December) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) were down by 33.9% from January 2014 (decreased by 23.9% in December).  These decreases in closed and pending sales are a bit troubling for future months.

Even though the sales volume is off, prices continue to rise and very strong rates.  The median sales price was up by 39.1% (was up by 27.1% in December) while the average sales price increased by 36.8% (was up by 9.2% in December) as compared to January of 2015.

The inventory of available townhouses and condos jumped up by 57 units to 468 properties as compared to last month.  The third straight month of increased inventory, though this is still 14.4% below the January 2015 inventory.  Currently, there’s a 4.4 month supply of inventory (a 6.4% decrease from last year).  Still in a strong sellers market for townhouses and condos for Martin County.  It will be interesting to see what happens as the inventory increases if sales continue their slower pace.

The median sales price was up by 18.2% from last year (up by 5.3% in December) while the average price decreased by 18.2% (was up by 18.4% last month).  I’m not sure how they came up with these results.

(This is a 18.5% decrease from last year).  Continuing as a sellers market in Martin County.  Though, the recent reduced rate of closed sales and an increasing inventory may soon have us back into a balanced market.

Hobe Sound Real Estate Snapshot for ZIP Code 33455, Condo Sales for January 2016

For January 2016 in the 33455 Zip Code area of Hobe Sound, Florida :

There are currently 6 active condo listings. (Increased by 2 condos from December)

Hobe Sound FL 33455 Condo Market Report January 2016

2 Condos are pending and awaiting close. (Up by 1 condos from December)

Hobe Sound FL 33455 Condo Market Report January 2016

No Condos sold in December (Down 1 condos from December)

The Hobe Sound condo market (Zip Code 33455) is the smallest segment of the Martin County real estate market.  2016 began with a whimper for Hobe Sound condos with no sales.  We did have small improvements in both the inventory and pending sales.

No possible absorption rate number for this month with zero sales, for December of 2015 it was 4 months.  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 may 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 January 2015 numbers were: 17 active listings, 3 pending sales and 3 closed sales.  Much better activity last year with considerably more inventory to work with.

2 homes are under contract (pending sales). List prices were $339,900 and $650,000 for an average of  $494,950 which equates to a $237.07 price per sq. ft. of living area.  These two homes averaged 93 days on the market before accepting offers.

The area north of the Roosevelt Bridge to Britt Road and west of US 1 is sometimes loosely referred to as “North River Shores.” However, North River Shores and its companion neighborhoods of Cocoanut Point and North River Forest are distinct subdivisions as recorded in Martin County records.
 
Members of these communities enjoy the benefits of designated park areas as well as the use of the boat ramp at Nosaw Park which accesses the North Fork of the St. Lucie River.There are also some accompanying deed restrictions that enhance and protect the aesthetic nature of this beautiful community.

The North River Shores communities include both waterfront and non-waterfront homes.  Waterfront homes may have sweeping miles wide views of the North Fork of the Saint Lucie River or protected canal front homes with deep water dockage.  Additionally, North River Shores is a bird and wildlife sanctuary.


This community is blessed with easy access to shopping, the beaches, houses of worship, schools and access to both downtown Stuart and Jensen Beach, yet it maintains a quiet and peacefully neighborhood character.   This is a wonderful neighborhood within Martin County’s ‘A’ rated school district.For additional information about North River Shores and/or the surrounding communities, contact Gabe Sanders or of Premier Realty Group.

Hobe Sound FL 33455 Condo Market Report December 2015

The Hobe Sound condo market (Zip Code 33455) is the smallest segment of the Martin County real estate market.  With only 4 actively listed condos, there’s just not that many options out there for buyers.  Amazingly, there were no changes from last month at all.

The current absorption rate is 4 months (Unchanged from last month).  This absorption rate should be taken with a liberal grain of salt, as small changes in activity make for very large changes on percentages that may 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 December 2014 numbers were: 13 active listings, 6 pending sales and 5 closed sales.  Much better activity last year with considerably more inventory to work with.
