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.

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for April 2013

06.05.13 by

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for April 2013

 

Commentary:

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

 

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

The Hobe Sound condo market (Zip Code 33455) is the smallest segment of the Martin County real estate market.  Sales were up to 5 units for April (over double from March) and pending sales were off slightly.  Meaningful interpretation of this market is fairly meaningless with the low number of available condos for sale.

The one month absorption rate jumped to 4.2 months, signifying a return to a seller’s market.  Generally, a 6 month absorption rate is considered to be a balanced market favoring neither the seller or buyer. 

The April 2012 numbers were:  35 active listings, 6 pending sales and 5 closed sales.   Still doing better this year when considering the tiny inventory of condos available for sale in Hobe Sound.

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for March 2013

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for March 2013

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Condo Market for March 2013 also showed excellent activity for March of 2013.  After disappointing results from much of the fall season, sales numbers for March were up to 84 units.  The last March that had a higher sales volume was back in 2005.  The inventory continues to decline.  Now down to 582 condos (Down 69 units from March of 2012).  This is the third month of decreasing inventory after 3 months of increases.  The median sales price jumped dramatically to $142,500 from $88,250 last month (and 103,500 in March of 2012).   While the median list price rose modestly to $189,450.  These numbers are a little misleading as it appears that prices have stabilized in the condo market.  There have been a relatively greater number of lower priced condos sold which is driving the median sales prices down.  As the inventory continues to decrease, pressure will be on for prices to rise.

The one month absorption rate dipped to 6.93 months from last months 9.15 months, while the three-month average is now at 9.5 months.  A considerably improved condo market after many years of stagnant results.  We are now very close to a balanced market  for condos in Martin County.  Generally an absorption rate of 6 or 7 months is considered a balanced market.

 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 March 2013

05.04.13 by

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for March 2013

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for March 2013 showed very strong sales activity for the month.  In fact, the highest unit volume since 2004.  And this with a lower number of available homes as well.  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.

Average prices were up for March, while the median declined. This is an indication of a greater volume of lower priced sales with a few higher priced homes in the mix as well.  The inventory of available homes dropped over 100 homes from February.    The one month absorption rate for March 2013 decreased to 4.38 months, and the three-month average is down to 6.45 months.  A 6 month absorption rate is considered to be a balanced market, so we are going into a sellers market in Martin County.

Activity is remained strong for April.  Positive economic news as well as continued low interest rates continue to drive buyers into the market.  We continue to be in a very attractive market for buyers.  Sellers can also expect to see good value in the sale of their homes as compared to the past few years.

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

March 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

04.30.13 by

March 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

Some very positive results reported by Florida Realtors for the March 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos for the entire state of Florida.  All indices have moved in a positive direction though not as robustly as for the single family report for March 2013.  Year to year closed sales were up by 1% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by over 10%.

Both median and average sales prices were up (March 2012 to March 2013) by 16% and 13% respectively.

One item of concern is the active inventory which has decreased by almost 22%.  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 homeowners can see a profit or even a break-even price, I will expect a gradual increase in inventory.
