Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for March 2013

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.

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for February 2013

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for February 2013 showed strong sales activity for the month.  Better number of closed sales than in past years.  All with a much lower inventory as well.  In fact, our inventory levels are getting low enough that I expect to see some slowing of sales activity simply because there’s not enough homes for sale.  If this happens, I expect to see a further rise in prices, which has already began.

Average and median sales prices were both up for February.  The inventory of available homes dropped 90 from January.    The one month absorption rate for February 2013 decreased to 7.87 months, while the three-month average rose to 7.68 months.  A 6 month absorption rate is considered to be a balanced market, so we remain in a slight buyers market in Martin County.

Activity is remaining strong for March.  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.
