Florida Single Family Home Sales 2013 Yearly Review

January 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

For the January 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos for the state of Florida a mostly positive result to begin the year as compared to the start of 2013.   Though more positive results than they were for last month.   Year to year closed sales were up by 9.3% as compared to last months decrease of 2.5% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 6% (December’s decrease was 8.7%).

Both median and average sales prices were up (year to year) by 17% and 21% respectively.  Very significant gains.

Inventory rose for the third month in a row, by 3.5%.  If the inventory keeps rising, I expect to see some increases in the sales volume and a leveling off or a moderation to the pretty dramatic price increases we’ve experienced last year.

January 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

The January 2014 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes as reported by Florida Realtors began 2014 with all positive results as compared to the start of 2013.  Both closed and pending sales were up.   Year to year closed sales were up by 10.2% (was up by 8.6% in December) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 0.7% (was down by4.2% in December).

Both median and average sales prices were up ( January 2013 to January 2014) by 12.1% and 19.9% respectively.   Very good results compared to the past few months when values increased, but at a much slower rate.

The inventory of available homes for sale increased by 15% from last year.  This is now the fourth month of increased inventory.  This increase is a direct result of rising prices as many home sellers have been waiting on the side lines for improved values.  We do need to watch that inventory levels don’t rise so much as to have a negative effect on prices (law of supply and demand).  It does appear that even with the increasing inventory the traffic for the new year is quite high and I expect some strong results for next month.

December 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

The December 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes as reported by Florida Realtors ended the year with mostly positive results as compared to 2012.  Both closed and pending sales were off.   Year to year closed sales were up by 8.6% (was down by 1.2 % in November) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 4.2% (was down by 5.9% in October).

Both median and average sales prices were up (December 2012 to December 2013) by 11.4% and 3% respectively.   Not quite as much of an increase as in previous months this year, but those kinds of increases were unsustainable.

The inventory of available homes for sale increased by 11.9% from last year.  This is now the third month of increased inventory.  I’ve written in the past that I was expecting this increase which is a direct cause of the easing of the price increases as the supply expands.  It does appear that even with the increasing inventory the traffic for the new year is quite high and I expect some strong results for next month.

November 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

The November 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos for the state of Florida showed a weakening of both closed and pending sales as compared to last year.  Year to year closed sales were down by 7.1% as compared to last months increase of 3.1% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 10.2% (October’s decrease was 3.6%).

Both median and average sales prices were up (year to year) by 17.2% and 12.3% respectively.

For the first time in a while the inventory crept up slightly by 1.3%.  The reduced inventory is what is making prices rise as well as keeping sales volume down.  I expect both inventory and sales volume to increase in the coming year if the economic news continues to be positive.

November 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

October 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos

The October 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Townhouses and Condos for the state of Florida continues to show gains though not as robust as they were earlier in the year.  Year to year closed sales were up by 3.1% as compared to last months increase of 11.4% and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 3.6% (September’s increase was 4.6%).

Both median and average sales prices were up (year to year) by 22.1% and 12% respectively.

One item of concern is the active inventory which has decreased again (though slightly), for October by .09%.  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.

October 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes

The Florida real estate market continues to improve as reported by Florida Realtors for the October 2013 Monthly Market Detail Florida Single Family Homes, though at not quite as great a rate as in past months.  All indices have once again moved in a positive direction.  Year to year closed sales were up by 6.5% (was 18.8% in September) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) increased by 3.4% (was 10.5% in September).

Both median and average sales prices were up (October 2012 to October 2013) by 16.6% and 12.6% respectively.   Very strong numbers that I expect will moderate in the next few months unless the overall state economy shows some improvements as well.

The inventory of available homes for sale increased by 3.3% from last year.  This is the first month in some time that we’ve seen an increase in inventory.  I’ve been expecting this, and as inventory increases the pressure on rising prices will ease as well.  Making the double digit gains of this past year a little more difficult to sustain.
