Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for August 2013

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for August 2013

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Condo Market for August 2013 showed better numbers than in previous years on a year to year comparison.  Still a bit slower than we would like.  Inventory decreased to 511 units (after a nice little jump last month).  It was back in 2005 when we had steady inventory levels below 600 units.  The median sales price decreased in August indicating the mix of sales has once again shifted to the less expensive mainland condos, though still above last year’s value significantly.  Much of the median price results are driven by the mix of units selling.  We had a good number of higher end waterfront condos sell in previous months.  And, while prices are not declining any more in the overall market, they also are not making any large increases at this time.  Prices remain very sensitive to the community and the available competition.

The one month absorption rate increased to 9.46 months from last months 8.92 months, while the three-month average is now at 8.5 months.  We’ve slipped back into a buyers market for martin County condos.  Generally an absorption rate of 6 or 7 months is considered a balanced market.

Higher interest rates remain troubling for the market in general, but is not as strong an issue for our condo market as we have a fairly high percentage of cash buyers.  If the economy continues it’s improvement, I expect another good season for the condo market in Martin County for the upcoming year.

 The Definition of Absorption Rate:
Number of months it takes to sell the current inventory at the present rate of sales. Knowing your area’s Absorption Rate, helps to track trends. Understanding the market and where it is headed is part of our job as real estate professionals. Absorption rate is NOT an exact science. Figuring it is based on the premise that one will be looking for a TREND. It is advised to consistently do the numbers each month, to be able to track a trend.Martin County Condo Market Report August 2013

The Stuart Florida Market Report ZIP Code 34996 for Condos for August 2013 showed an reduced amount of activity from previous months.   Both pending and closed sales were off from July and the inventory remains fairly steady.  We are entering our slower season for condo sales and I would not be surprised to see reduced activity continue for the next few months.

The current absorption rate for the Stuart Florida Market Report ZIP Code 34996 – Condo rose to 13.7 months from July’s 11.  Continuing as a strong buyers market for August of 2013.  A balanced market is considered to occur when the absorption rate is 6 months.

The numbers for August 2012 were: 190 active listings, 19 pending sales and 12 closed sales.   Better activity for this year as compared to last, especially when the reduced inventory is considered.

7 Homes sold in July (An increase of 4 homes from July)

Sewalls Point Residential Market Report August 2013

A second slower month for the Sewalls Point residential real estate market.   For August 2013 sales were up from July, but both pending and active listings were off marginally.  This is most likely a reflection of the summer months with slower activity, which is typical for the Martin County FL real estate market.

The absorption rate declined to 6.6 months.  Just about a balanced market.  A 6 month absorption rate is considered a balanced market where neither the seller nor buyer have an advantage.

Comparing the results to August of 2012, the inventory was 57 homes on the market, 16 pending sales and there were 3 closed sales.  The lower number of pending sales this year is a sign that for the imediate future, there may not be as many closed sales as in previous years, though this year we did do much better than last year.

South Fork Estates Market Update for September 2013

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for July 2013

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for July 2013

 

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida Condo Market for July 2013 had minimally better sales than last year (2 condos).  On a positive note, the inventory rose to 526 units, making for a better selection for buyers.   Though these levels are still low.  It was back in 2005 when we had steady inventory levels below 600 units.  The median sales price took a nice jump from June (up by $34,000) and is $6,000 higher than last year.  Much of the median price results are driven by the mix of units selling.  We had a good number of higher end waterfront condos sell in July.  And, while prices are not declining any more in the overall market, they also are not making any large increases at this time.  Prices remain very sensitive to the community and the available competition.

The one month absorption rate increased to 8.92 months from last months 7.36 months, while the three-month average is now at 7.41 months.  We’ve slipped back into a slight buyers market.  Generally an absorption rate of 6 or 7 months is considered a balanced market.

Higher interest rates remain troubling for the market in general, but is not as strong an issue for our condo market as we have a fairly high percentage of cash buyers.  If the economy continues it’s improvement, I expect another good season for the condo market in Martin County for the upcoming year.
