Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for October 2012

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for October 2012

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida residential market report for October 2012 showed strong activity. In a month that typically is slow by historical standards, 153 homes closed, 40 homes better than 2011 and 39 homes better than 2010.  All this with an inventory of available homes now down by close to 50% from 2010.

Average and median sales prices were both higher for October.  This months inventory showed a slight increase to 1149 homes (up 14 from September), still down from the 1359 homes that were on the market in October of 2011 (and the 2710 homes in October of 2007). The one month absorption rate for October is 7.5 months, while the three-month average is 7.4 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.

Showing activity remains strong, though we are in the middle of the holiday season which normally is a slower market.

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

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.

50 Homes Sold in August (Down 32 homes from August)
