May 2014 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos

The May 2014 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos as reported by Florida Realtors rebounded pretty well after a fairly difficult spring season.  Closed sales were up by 24.6% (was down by 5.9% in April) while new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 13.6% (was  down by 4.6% in April).  While a very nice increase in closed sales, the continuing decrease of pending sales is a bit troubling.

The median sales price was up by 1.2% (down 34.1% in April) and the average sales price decreased by 1.3% (was down by 2.3% in April).  Last month was the first decrease in values in over a year.  A nice rebound this month.  It will be interesting to note if this trend continues.

The inventory of available townhouses and condos decreased by 41 units from last month to 815 units which is down by 7.8% from last May.  Current supply of inventory decreased to 7.8 months from the 8.4 month supply in April and is 8.2% lower than last year.  The St. Lucie County townhouse and condo market appears to be strengthening at present.

May 2014 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos

April 2014 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos

The April 2014 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos as reported by Florida Realtors is a segment of the market that is not doing well this year. Most measured values are showing declines year to year.  Closed sales were down by 5.9% (was down by 21.3% in March) while new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 4.6% (was  down by 9.9% in March).  The decrease in pending sales is much less than last month which is at least a small positive.

The median sales price was down by 34.1% (up 21.1% in March) and the average sales price decreased by 2.3% (was up by 7.4% in March).  This is the first month we’ve seen a decrease in values.  Lack of supply and demand are both factors for this as was the torrid price rises from last year.

The inventory of available townhouses and condos decreased by 48 units from last month to 856 units which is down by 5.3% from last April.  Current supply of inventory decrease to 8.4 months from the 9.6 month supply in March and is 4.5% lower from last year.   This is a buyers market at present.

April 2014 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos

March 2014 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos

The March 2014 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos as reported by Florida Realtors showed a continuing trend of disappointing results for volume of sales after a good start to the year in January.  Year to year closed sales were down by 21.3% (was down by 8.2% in February) while new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 9.9% (was  down by 28.2% in February).  The decrease in pending sales is much less than last month which is at least a small positive.  Much of this decrease can be attributed to a decrease in inventory from last year as well as the rapidly increasing prices.

The median sales price up by 21.1% (up 15% in February) and the average sales price increased by 7.4% (was up by 14.4% in February).

The inventory of available townhouses and condos decreased by 6 units from last month to 895 units which is still down by 13.1% from last March.  Current supply of inventory remained inched up from last month to 9.6 months (a 0.3% increase from last year).   This is a buyers market at present and will most likely continue until inventory increases and price rises moderate to a more sustainable rate.

March 2014 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos

February 2014 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos

The February 2014 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos as reported by Florida Realtors once again showed some disappointing results after a good start to the year in January.  Year to year closed sales were down by 8.2% (was up by 12.3% in January) while new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 28.2% (was  down by 9.1% in January).  This decreased volume is concerning.  Most of it, I suspect, is from the rapid price increases this past year, though with this month, this appears to be easing as well.

The median sales price up by 15% (up 4.3% in January) and the average sales price dropped by 14.4% (was up by an impressive 45.2% in January).

The inventory of available townhouses and condos decreased by 10 units from last month to 901 units which is still down by 8.1% from last February.  Current supply of inventory remained unchanged from last month to 9.4 months (still an 4.6% decrease from last year).   This is a buyers market at present and the lower prices will most likely continue until inventory and closed sales pick up.

February 2014 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos

January 2014 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos

The January 2014 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Townhouses and Condos as reported by Florida Realtors had a very positive start to 2014 after a number of disappointing last four months of 2013 for the townhouse and condo segment of the Saint Lucie County real estate market.  Year to year closed sales were up by 12.3% (was down by 19.4% in December) while new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 9.1% (was  down by 29.1% in December).

Values continue to rise as the median sales price up by 4.3% (up 37.1% in December) and the average sales price rose by 45.2% (was up by 38.8% in December).

The inventory of available townhouses and condos increased from last month to 911 units which is still down by 6.5% from last January.  Current supply of inventory remained unchanged from last month to 9.4 months (still an 8.8% decrease from last year).   Back into a buyer’s market.  Unfortunately the low inventory along with the rapid increase in values is hurting the volume of condo and townhouse sales in St. Lucie County.  Once inventory starts to rise, I expect the volume to pick up as well.
