Positive reports for the August 2013 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes as reported by Florida Realtors, though not quite as robust as last month.   Closed sales were up by 9.1% (was 18.2% in July) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 35.2% (42.1% in July).

Both the median and average sales prices (year to year) increased this month by percentages of 17% and 29.8% respectively.

August 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

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

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

July 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

The July 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos for the state of Florida showed excellent activity after a bit of easing in June.   Year to year closed sales were up by 16.8% as compared to last months decrease of 2.5% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 20.7% (June’s increase was 14.2%).

One item of concern is the active inventory which has decreased again, for July by 17.5%.  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.

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for July 2013

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for July 2013

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Condo Market for July 2013 had minimally better sales than last year (2 condos).  On a positive note, the inventory rose to 526 units, making for a better selection for buyers.   Though these levels are still low.  It was back in 2005 when we had steady inventory levels below 600 units.  The median sales price took a nice jump from June (up by $34,000) and is $6,000 higher than last year.  Much of the median price results are driven by the mix of units selling.  We had a good number of higher end waterfront condos sell in July.  And, while prices are not declining any more in the overall market, they also are not making any large increases at this time.  Prices remain very sensitive to the community and the available competition.

The one month absorption rate increased to 8.92 months from last months 7.36 months, while the three-month average is now at 7.41 months.  We’ve slipped back into a slight buyers market.  Generally an absorption rate of 6 or 7 months is considered a balanced market.

Higher interest rates remain troubling for the market in general, but is not as strong an issue for our condo market as we have a fairly high percentage of cash buyers.  If the economy continues it’s improvement, I expect another good season for the condo market in Martin County for the upcoming year.

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for July 2013

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for July 2013

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Residential Market for July 2013 continues to produce better results as compared to recent years.   For July 2013, the inventory dropped below 1,000 homes for the first time since July of 2005.    Hopefully, this is only a seasonal reaction to the market as we approach the slower selling season in this area of Florida.  Should inventory levels remain this low, sales numbers will decline as buyers will have difficulty finding suitable housing.  New home sales are one relief to this inventory issue and we currently have a number of builders and communities with new home offerings.

Both median and average sales prices declined in July from last month, but are still improved year to year.  The one month absorption rate for July 2013 increased to 5.3 months (from 4.72 months in June), and the three-month average is 4.91 months.  A 6 month absorption rate is considered to be a balanced market, so we continue to be in a sellers market in Martin County.  It’s not unusual to see slower activity as we go into fall and the holiday season.

We’ve had a very good run in the market to date this year.  There are a few storm clouds on the horizon, though.  Mainly higher interest rates and a very uncertain economy.  Recent issues with the quality of our rivers as well as rising flood insurance rates are also impacting our higher end sales in the county.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any difficulty interpreting these charts.

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for June 2013

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for June 2013

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Condo Market for June 2013 was strong, though it retreated considerably from the excellent April numbers.   85 condos sold in June (compared to 128 in April).   Better numbers, year to year, but not excellent.  The inventory of available condos dropped again (fifth month in a row) to only 544 condos.  This low number is beginning to effect prices and at long last it appears that condo prices are starting to rise.   The median sales price was down compared to April, but this is a reflection of the larger number of lower priced condos that sold this month, rather than decreasing value.  Summer is upon us and typically the condo market slows down during the summer months.

The one month absorption rate increased to 6.4 months from last months 4.46 months, while the three-month average is now at 5.71 months.  Basically a balanced market for the time being.  Generally an absorption rate of 6 or 7 months is considered a balanced market.

The low inventory rates and rising interest rates are troubling and could possibly have a negative effect on the condo market recovery.
