Stuart FL 34994 Condo Market Report August 2016

The Stuart FL 34994 Condo market showed a nice bounce back from a slow July as both pending and closed sales saw an increase.

The absorption rate for August decreased to 5.6 months compared to last month’s 7.4.  Once again back into a sellers’ market for this condo segment of Stuart’s 34994 zip code area.  This is somewhat surprising as condo sales often slow down during the summer months.  Typically a real estate market is considered to be a balanced market with an absorption rate of 6 to 7 months.  Meaning neither the buyers or sellers have an advantage in the real estate market.

Last August the numbers were 76 active listings, 27 pending sales, and 14 closed sales.   Somewhat greater activity for August of 2016 with a slightly higher inventory as well.
