Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for September 2012

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for September 2012

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Condo Market for September 2012 was fairly slow.  Though this is typical for our seasonal condo market, we were hoping for a little better activity.  Sales for September were down to 39 units from 46 in August.  Just about identical to September 2011 which had 40 sales.  The inventory was down by 10 units and is basically holding steady as last year at this time it was 623 condos available for sale.  I would not be surprised to see more inventory growth as we get into the upcoming  fall and winter condo season.  The median sales price took a big jump in September as some fairly high priced condos were sold last month. (Up to $159,000 from just $97,000 for August)

The one month absorption rate is up to 14.6 months, while the three-month average is at 12.1 months.  Still a very challenging market for sellers with the accompanying quite attractive opportunities for buyers.  We need to see a sustained absorption rate below 9 months for a healthy market and down to 6 or 7 months to be considered a balanced one.

Currently, the condo market is under-performing as compared to our residential market and the condo markets of our southern neighbors.  I do expect this trend to stop as buyers realize the bargains currently available in the Martin County condo 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 September 2012

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for September 2012

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida residential market report for September 2012 showed our typical season slowdown. The sales volume of 133 homes is still 16 homes better than 2011 and 18 homes better than 2010, but not quite as robust as our earlier numbers this year.  But, still good numbers when considering our available homes (inventory) is considerably reduced from the previous years.

Average and median sales prices too a huge dip in September.  This is more an indication that the homes selling this month tended to be in the lower price range rather than a further softening of existing home prices.

This months inventory showed a continued decrease (after a slight increase last month) to 1135 units (down 12 homes from last month), still down from the 1365 homes that were on the market in September of 2011 (and the 2789 homes in September of 2007). The one month absorption rate for September is 8.5 months, while the three-month average is 7.3 months. A 6 month absorption rate is considered to be a balanced market, so we are once again in a slight buyers market in Martin County.

Office activity is very good and I believe we will be back to some positive market results in the upcoming season.

For September 2012 in the 34957 Zip Code area of Jensen Beach, Florida (Martin County) :

There are currently 48 active listings. ( A decrease of 2 condos from August)

30 Condo sales are pending and awaiting close or lender approval. (Up 3 condos from August)

3 Condo Sold (Down 1 from August)

The Jensen Beach Condo market (zip code 34957) is a fairly small segment of the Martin County condo market. The current inventory is now very low at only 48 condos available for sale. This might be an excellent time for those who have a need to sell their Jensen Beach condo in zip code 34957.  Pending sales were up marginally and closed sales fell for September by 1 unit. Considering that this is the summer season where the condo market activity is normally slow, this segment continues with good activity.

The one month absorption rate for the September 2012, Jensen Beach Florida Market Report ZIP Code 34957 stands at a very unimpressive 16 months.  Still a strong buyers market, but there just isn’t very much quality inventory.  I’m expecting this to change when some of the pending sales close.

The September 2011 numbers were: 55 active listings, 10 pending sales and 8 condos closed.  Very similar to this years numbers, but better closed activity last year.

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.  For September, the market was basically unchanged from August with only 1 condo less in the active inventory.

The one month absorption rate for the Palm City Florida condo market is 15.5 months.  Still a significant buyers market.
The September 2011 numbers were: 61 active listings, 4 pending sales and 1 closed sales.   Slightly better market activity this September, compared to last, but still plenty of room for improvement.

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for August 2012

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Condo Market for August 2012 is showing signs of our typical summer slowdown.  Sales for August were down to 46 units from 57 in July.  Though this is still slightly better than August of 2011 which had 43 sales.  The inventory was up by 7 units and is basically holding steady as last year at this time it was 618 condos available for sale.  I would not be surprised to see more inventory growth as we get into the upcoming  fall and winter condo season.  Both average and median sales prices were off again for August reflecting a continued pressure on pricing in the local condo market.  Also, the mix of sales has been in the lower price ranges, as the more expensive, typically ocean front condos tend to have better sales in the winter and spring season..

The one month absorption rate is up to 12.6 months, while the three-month average is at 10.4 months.  Still a very challenging market for sellers with the accompanying quite attractive opportunities for buyers.  We need to see a sustained absorption rate below 9 months for a healthy market and down to 6 or 7 months to be considered a balanced one.

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for August 2012

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for August 2012

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida residential market report for August 2012 continues to show strong results. The sales volume of 179 homes is 43 homes better than 2011 and 82 homes better than 2010.  Looking at the absorption rate table, this is the first August in memory that sales continued to remain strong during the off season.  All this with a much reduced inventory from previous months.

Average sales prices were up for August, while the median sales price was off slightly.  Indicating a sale of a few much higher priced home and continuing very strong demand for the more affordable mix in the Martin County residential market.  Other than the top of the price range, the market is now showing price increases pretty much across the board until you reach the above $ 1 million dollar homes, where the market remains somewhat difficult.

This months inventory showed a small increase (for the first time in years) to 1147 units (up 15 from last month), still down from the 1340 homes that were on the market in August of 2011 (and the 2795 homes in August of 2007). The one month absorption rate for August is 6.4 months, while the three-month average is 6.6 months.  These absorption rates are very close to a balanced market, favoring neither seller or buyer.

Overall, very positive market results for the residential segment of the Martin County real estate market.

The Hobe Sound condo market (Zip Code 33455) is the smallest segment of the Martin County real estate market.  August showed very little change from last month.  With only 26 units available it’s fairly slim pickings in the Hobe Sound Florida Market Report ZIP Code 33455 condo market. Small changes in any metric will reflect large changes in market activity and unless some dramatic changes occur, I would expect the Hobe Sound condo market to remain fairly static.

The one month absorption rate is 13 months, signifying that it’s still a buyers market.  Generally, a 6 month absorption rate is considered to be a balanced market favoring neither the seller or buyer.  But, with such low numbers, these indicators can easily be misleading.

The August 2011 numbers were:  42 active listings, 6 pending sales and 3 closed sales.  Other than a significantly lower inventory, very similar results.

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.  For August, closed sales were up 3 units from the one sale of July.  Both pending sales and the inventory only changed by 1 unit for August.
The one month absorption rate for the Palm City Florida condo market is 15.5 months.  Still a significant buyers market.
The August 2011 numbers were: 52 active listings, 5 pending sales and 4 closed sales.   Very similar to this year.  The one statistic to note, unlike most other segments of the Martin County real estate market, the inventory for Palm City condos is up from last year.

The Jensen Beach Condo market (zip code 34957) is a fairly small segment of the Martin County condo market. The current inventory is now very low at only 50 condos available for sale. This might be an excellent time for those who have a need to sell their Jensen Beach condo in zip code 34957.  Pending sales were up marginally and closed sales fell for August by 1 unit. Considering that this is the summer season where the condo market activity is normally slow, this segment continues with good activity.

The one month absorption rate for the August 2012, Jensen Beach Florida Market Report ZIP Code 34957 stands at a very unimpressive 12.5 months.  Still a strong buyers market, but there just isn’t very much quality inventory.  I’m expecting this to change when some of the pending sales close.

The August 2011 numbers were: 51 active listings, 15 pending sales and 5 condos closed.  Other than the significantly larger number of pending sales, the inventory and closed sales are virtually identical.
