April 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

April 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

Another positive month of results reported by Florida Realtors for the April 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes for the entire state of Florida.  All indices have moved in a positive direction.  Year to year closed sales were up by 17.4% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 31.9%.

Both median and average sales prices were up (April 2012 to April 2013) by 14.2% and 10.1% respectively. 

One item of concern is the active inventory which has decreased by 24.7%.  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.

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.

[singlepic id=3590 w=600 h=600 float=center]

 

The 34990 zip code area of Palm City condo market is a fairly small section of this area as most property in Palm City is either single family homes or town homes.  Thus making meaningful market comparisons somewhat difficult as small changes can have a great effect on the percentages and results.   Considering that we are now down to only 58 active cndo listings, activity has been excellent for this market.  Both closed and pending sales were up for April.
 
The current absorption rate for condos in the 34990 zip code area is 8.2 months.  Now down to a slight buyers’ market, as a balanced market is considered to be an absorption rate of around 6 months.
 
The April 2012 numbers were: 66 active listings, 3 pending sales and 1 closed sales.   Considerably better activity for 2013 than last year.

March 2013 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos

Some very positive results reported by Florida Realtors for the March 2013 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Townhouses and Condos.   Year to year closed sales were up by an impressive 38.7% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by over 41%

The median and average sales prices also increased by 12.8% and 23.6% respectively from March of 2012.

The inventory of available townhouses and condos have decreased to 687 units which id down by 20.6% from last March.  Current supply of inventory is only 7.5 months (a 30.6% 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.

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for March 2013

05.05.13 by

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.

[singlepic id=3523 w=800 h=600 float=center]
  

 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

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.
