Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for May 2013

07.07.13 by

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for May 2013

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Condo Market for May 2013 was strong, though it retreated considerably from the excellent April numbers.   85 condos sold in May (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.

 The Definition of Absorption Rate:
Number of months it takes to sell the current inventory at the present rate of sales. Knowing your area’s Absorption Rate, helps to track trends. Understanding the market and where it is headed is part of our job as real estate professionals. Absorption rate is NOT an exact science. Figuring it is based on the premise that one will be looking for a TREND. It is advised to consistently do the numbers each month, to be able to track a trend.

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for May 2013

07.06.13 by

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for May 2013

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for May 2013 continues the strong trend for 2013.   Considering that the available inventory has shrunk considerably, the number of sales for the month is quite impressive.  In fact, our inventory levels are approaching numbers that may have a negative effect on sales volume in the upcoming months.  Additionally, interest rates have been heading up recently.  Hopefully, this will not negatively impact our recovery. 

The median sales price was off from last month, but the average was slightly higher.  The inventory declined to only 1000 homes.   The one month absorption rate for May 2013 increased slightly to 4.74 months (from 4.52 months in April), and the three-month average is now down to 4.54 months.  A 6 month absorption rate is considered to be a balanced market, so we are officially in a a sellers market in Martin County.  As late summer and fall approaches, we typically can expect a small decline in activity.

We are still in need of good news about the economy as well as additional inventory to keep our real estate market recovery going strong.

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

May 2013 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos

Another set of positive results reported by Florida Realtors for the May 2013 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos.   Year to year closed sales were up by 28% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by a very impressive 56.6%

The median sales price decreased by 5.5% while the average sales price rose by 9.74% as compared to May of 2012.

The inventory of available townhouses and condos have decreased to 612 units which is a decrease of 28.4% from last May.  Current supply of inventory is only 6.2 months (a 39.2% decrease from last year).  For the Martin County townhouse and condo market, these results are very similar to our single family home market as both segments rapidly approach a balanced market that favors neither the buyer nor seller.

May 2013 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes

Solid market activity though not as strong as previous spring reports for the May 2013 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes as reported by Florida Realtors.   Year to year closed sales were up by 5.5% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 43.7%

Both the median and average sales prices decreased this month by year to year percentages of 16.3% and 20.2% respectively.

The inventory of available single family homes have decreased to only 1166 units which id down by 29.9% from last May.  Current supply of inventory is only 6.8 months (a 40.2% decrease from last year).   If this trend continues (and we see no reason to doubt it) we will soon be in a balanced market for the single family real estate market in Martin County.  There’s no reason not to expect a sellers market should the inventory continue to decrease.

May 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

More positive results reported by Florida Realtors for the May 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos for the entire state of Florida.  All indices have moved in a positive direction again as have the single family report for May 2013.  Year to year closed sales were up by 18.7% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by a whopping 30.8%.

Both median and average sales prices were up (May 2012 to May 2013) by 15.9% and 11.4% respectively. 

One item of concern is the active inventory which has decreased by almost 23.7%.  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.

Snug Harbor June 2013 Market Update

Snug Harbor June 2013 Market Update:

As of June, there is only 1 active listing in Snug Harbor in Stuart, FL.  The list price is $595,000 or $178.20 per square foot of living area. (Non-waterfront)

There are currently 4 homes under contract or pending.  Listing prices range from $350,000 to $2,550,000 or an average of $387.26 per sq. ft. of living area.  3 of the four pending sales are waterfront homes.

3 homes have sold in the past 12 months.  Ranging in sales price from $439,900 to $755,000.  The average sales price per sq. ft. was $218.58.  These were not waterfront homes.

Located on the wide Saint Lucie River just east of the city of Stuart Florida is the unique subdivision of Snug Harbor. While the real estate market on the Treasure Coast has it’s problems, Snug Harbor remains a desirable community as recent sales can show.

Snug Harbor was the vision of a group of 10 Yachtsmen, many former Commodores of the Chicago Yacht Club back in 1943. They bought the land and platted the area in September 1944 as well as forming the Snug Harbor Corporation, which controlled the ownership of the lots.

Snug Harbor

In 1975 the deeds were distributed and/or sold to the then owners and a condominium form of ownership was established under the name of the Snug Harbor Yacht Club. With both waterfront and non-waterfront homes and estates, located just minutes away from the ocean by boat or car and also convenient to downtown Stuart, offices, restaurants and recreational areas.

Snug Harbor is one of the finest communities in Martin County. There are only 72 home sites with a club house, deep water marina, boat ramp, trailer parking and tennis courts. There is an active association with social activities year round that make this community a very attractive place to call home.

Please feel free to contact Gabe Sanders (772-323-6996), a Snug Harbor resident and board member, if you would like any information about this wonderful community.

The Martin County Florida Condo Market for April 2013 had one of the strongest months in recent history.  After disappointing results from much of the fall season, sales numbers for April were up to 128 units.  This is the highest monthly sales number since I started recording this data in January of 2004.  The inventory of available condos dropped again (fourth month in a row) to only 571 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 March, 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 dipped to 4.46 months from last months 6.93 months, while the three-month average is now at 6.32 months.  A considerably improved condo market after many years of stagnant results.  We have now slipped into a slight sellers market for certain segments of Martin County’s condo sales.  Generally an absorption rate of 6 or 7 months is considered a balanced market.

This summer will be very interesting.  If we don’t have an increase in inventory and buyers remain active, I expect some fairly good price gains.

 The Definition of Absorption Rate:
Number of months it takes to sell the current inventory at the present rate of sales. Knowing your area’s Absorption Rate, helps to track trends. Understanding the market and where it is headed is part of our job as real estate professionals. Absorption rate is NOT an exact science. Figuring it is based on the premise that one will be looking for a TREND. It is advised to consistently do the numbers each month, to be able to track a trend.

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for April 2013

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for April 2013

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for April 2013 continued the strong trend that began towards the end of last year.   Considering that the available inventory has shrunk considerably, the number of sales for the month is quite impressive.  In fact, our inventory levels are approaching numbers that may have a negative effect on sales volume in the upcoming months.  Many prospective buyers may not be able to find homes that fit their needs.

Both the average and median prices were up significantly for April.  The inventory did not decline from March, going up by only one unit.  Possibly an indication that many who have been waiting for an improving market are starting to list their homes.    The one month absorption rate for April 2013 increased slightly to 4.52 months (from 4.38 months in March), and the three-month average is now down to 5.26 months.  A 6 month absorption rate is considered to be a balanced market, so we are officially in a a sellers market in Martin County.

Positive economic news as well as continued low interest rates continue to drive buyers into the market.  While interest rates remain very attractive, there have been slight increases in the past few weeks.  There are also an increasing number of properties that have sold above asking price with multiple offers.  While we have a long way to go to see prices at the level of the boom around 2006, sellers are seeing a much improved market at present.

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

April 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

Some very positive results reported by Florida Realtors for the April 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos for the entire state of Florida.  All indices have moved in a positive direction though similar to the single family report for April 2013.  Year to year closed sales were up by 13.6% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 22.7%.

Both median and average sales prices were up (April 2012 to April 2013) by 16.4% and 12.3% respectively. 

One item of concern is the active inventory which has decreased by almost 20.6%.  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.Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos April 2013
