October 2015 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos

October 2015 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos

October 2015 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos  is showing weaker closed activity year to year.  Closed sales were down by 5.7% (was down by 13.6% in September) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) were down by 12.9% from October 2014 (decreased by 17.4% in September).

Prices continue to increase, though at a greatly reduced rate from the previous two months.  The median sales price was up by 4.0% (was up by 13.7% in September) while the average sales price decreased by 2.2% (was up by 10.2% in September) as compared to October of 2014.

The inventory of available townhouses and condos has increased by 31 units to 373 properties from last month.  It’s good to see some increased inventory, though this is still 33.5% less than was available in October of 2014.  For October there was a 3.4 month supply of inventory (a 26.5% decrease from last year).  Still in a strong sellers market for townhouses and condos for Martin County.  We are heading into the slower season for condo sales and I expect to see a little more weakening for our market until after the holidays.

October 2015 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes

October 2015 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes

The October 2015 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes showed better closed volume from last year but a weaker indication for future sales with the pending numbers.  Year to year closed sales were up by 13.4% (was down 0.5% in September). New pending sales decreased by 19% as compared to October of 2014 (decreased by 6.6% in September).

Prices continue their upward march.  The median sales price was up by 15.6% from last year (up by 7.1% in September) while the average price increased by 12.3% (was up by 40.5% last month).  This upward price trend is a bit troubling as it seems to be at much to high of a pace to be sustainable for the long run.  I expect some moderation of these increases in the near future.

The inventory of available single family homes increased from last month by 105 homes to 1162 units this month, though this is still 7.3% less than last October.  Current supply of homes is 4.9 months, for September of this year it was a 4.5 months supply. (This is 18.4% decrease from last year). The Martin County single family real estate market remains in a sellers market.  Though, with increasing inventory, we are headed towards a more balanced market looking at the future.

Martin County Third Quarter 2015 Market Report

Martin County Third Quarter 2015 Market Report

“In Martin County, we closed out an incredible 3rd quarter where the median sale price of homes rose 8.2 percent to $304,000, and median days on market dropped to 38 days, down 38.7 percent compared to last year. Meanwhile, inventory continued to dry up, down nearly 25 percent to a supply of 4.5 months, which is great news for those who are contemplating selling. For prospective buyers, be aware that we are still firmly in a Seller’s market; however, new listings are up 5.3 percent year-over-year, and if this trend continues, we will find ourselves in a more balanced market. Whether you are buying or selling, seek the expertise of a local REALTOR® who can help you navigate through the obstacles of our current market and understand fair market value,” said John Slivon, Treasurer of the Realtors® Association of the Palm Beaches (RAPB).

Hobe Sound Real Estate Snapshot for ZIP Code 33455, Condo Sales for October 2015

 

For October 2014 in the 33455 Zip Code area of Hobe Sound, Florida :

 

There are currently 4 active condo listings. (Up by 2 condos from September)

Hobe Sound FL 33455 Condo Market Report October 2015

0 Condos are pending and awaiting close. (Down by 4 condos from September)

3 Condos sold in September (Increased by 1 condos from September)

Hobe Sound FL 33455 Condo Market Report October 2015

The Hobe Sound condo market (Zip Code 33455) is the smallest segment of the Martin County real estate market.  The current inventory doubled from last month, but it’s still only 4 active listings.  And, with no pending listings, I’m not expecting any great activity in the coming months until we get some more condos available for sale in Hobe Sound.

The current absorption rate is 1.3 months (Last month it was 1 months).  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 October 2014 numbers were: 19 active listings, 5 pending sales and 1 closed sales.  We actually have better closed sales for this year as compared to last year.  But with no inventory and no pending sales it doesn’t look very promising for the future.

 The Jensen Beach FL 34957 Condo Market Report October 2015 remains a small sector as far as condos in Martin County and making meaningful comparisons with such small numbers can be problematic.  It was good to see an increase in inventory, though it is still at historically low levels.  Activity remains quite strong.

Martin County September 2015 Market Report

Martin County September 2015 Market Report

Martin County September 2015 Market Report

“Florida Realtors® reports a remarkable jump in Martin County’s average home price for the month of September to $437,996, up 40% from the previous year.  This surge in pricing can be attributed to the incredible increase in the number of properties that sold for over a million dollars; there were 14 to be exact, which is a 366% increase year-over-year. While our overall pace of sales remained typical for this time of year, our median days on market decreased 43%, leaving us with only a 4.5 months’ supply of inventory.  Prospective buyers and sellers may ask, will these trends continue?  Only time will tell, but snowfall has already been recorded up North, and local REALTORS® agree that nothing could be more beneficial to Martin County real estate sales than another brutal, northern winter.  So, if you’re buying or selling, be sure to enlist one of your local real estate professionals,” said John Slivon, Treasurer of the Realtors® Association of the Palm Beaches (RAPB).

September 2015 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos

September 2015 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos

September 2015 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos had a another slow month as compared to last year (as well as previous months).  Year to year closed sales were down by 13.6% (was down by 14.4% in August) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) were down by 17.4% from September 2014 (decreased by 17.5% in August).

The median sales price was up by 13.7% (was up by 33.2% in August) while the average sales price increased by 10.2% (was up by 22% in August) as compared to September of 2014.   Prices continue to go up as volume decreases, though at a reduced rate from last month.

The inventory of available townhouses and condos has increased by 5 units to 342 properties from last month, this is 33.5% less inventory than was available in September of 2014.  For September there was a 3.1 month supply of inventory (a 37.1% decrease from last year).  Continuing as a very strong sellers market for townhouses and condos in Martin County.  We are heading into the slower season for condo sales and I expect to see a little more weakening here until after the holidays.

September 2015 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes

September 2015 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes

The September 2015 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes showed a second month of continued weakness when compared to last year for volume of sales.  Year to year closed sales were down by .5% (was down 8% in August). New pending sales decreased by 6.6% as compared to September of 2014 (decreased by 2.4% in August).

The median sales price was up by 7.1% from last year (up by 9.6% in August) while the average price increased by 40.5% (was up by 10% last month).  The lack of inventory is driving down the volume of sales while at the same time exerting tremendous upwards pressure on prices..

The inventory of available single family homes increased from last month by 54 homes to 1057 units this month, and this is still a 14% decrease from last September.  Current supply of homes is 4.5 months, for August of this year it was a 4.3 months supply. (This is a 24.7% decrease from last year). The Martin County single family real estate market remains a strong sellers market.  We are approaching our slower selling season for the upcoming holidays.  I am hoping to see the sales volume start increasing again as we seem to be slowly having some additional inventory additions.
