Ocean House at Indian River Plantation in Stuart Florida

Ocean House at Indian River Plantation in Stuart Florida

One of the newest buildings in the Indian River Plantation, Ocean House, is also the most magnificent.  Consists of 79 Luxury Condos units of either 2 or 3 spacious bedrooms with amenities galore.  All suites have Ocean views, even the first-floor units, which are in actuality the equivalent of being on the third floor as there are two parking levels for residents to enjoy covered parking.

Ocean House has a newly renovated clubhouse area featuring an updated kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances.  Two flat-screen televisions and free wi-fi for those that need connectivity.

A heated pool and lanai area that’s perfect for lounging close to the beach, or walking down your private access to enjoy the crystal blue waters of your private Atlantic ocean beach.

Barbecue area with a Tiki Hut for those nights that you want to eat out under the stars.

The Marriott Resort at Indian River Plantation Features:

Indian River Plantation consists of numerous condominium associations and buildings.  All styles from Ocean front to Riverfront and Golf and Tennis villas can be found here.  IRP is associated and co-located with the Marriott Resort and Marina.

Tucked away on Hutchinson Island, the Treasure Coast’s 16-mile lush barrier island is a unique resort that greets guests with the warmth of genuine Southern hospitality.

The Hutchinson Island Marriott Beach Resort and Marina stretches across 200 acres of plantation landscape on Hutchinson Island, bordered on one side by the Atlantic Ocean and by the shimmering Indian River on the other side.

A newly remodeled lobby with sweeping draperies, plantation-style wood furnishings and tropical tones sets the stage for a magical golf getaway. This is the gateway to an array of championship and executive courses, including Nicklaus, Fazio, and Player designs.

Golfers of all skill levels will enjoy the challenging fairways and greens found in the area’s 12 courses. Plantation East, the resort’s own course, meanders throughout the island and is characterized by water on 17 of 18 holes. This 4,042-yard, par-61 executive course requires careful club selection and precision shot-making to overcome constantly changing ocean breezes.

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for January 2012

02.26.12 by

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for January 2012

Commentary:

Much like the residential segment of the Martin County real estate market, the Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for January 2012 retreated for the first month of 2012.  Sales for January were an anemic 37 units, down from January of 2011 (42 units)  and also off from December which had 52 sales.  On a positive note, the median sales price was at it’s highest level in over a year.  Unfortunately, I don’t believe that this represents a rise in prices, but rather the mix of types of units that have sold.  There is still too much inventory in some segments to sustain a continued rise in prices, though we are reaching very near the bottom of the market, if we haven’t already passed it.

The inventory is now down to 664 condos, which is down from 673 last month and from 774 in January of 2011.  A decreased inventory generally will trigger an increase in demand as the supply of existing units just isn’t available increasing the urgency for buyers.

Unfortunately the absorption rate remains troubling on the higher end, with January’s one month value of almost 18 months and the three month moving average is now up to 16.2 months. said another way, it’s averaging well over a year for the average condo to sell in Martin County, Florida.  We need to get the absorption rate below 9 months for a healthy market and down to 6 or 7 months to be considered a balanced one.

The big uncertainty that remains is the economy. We believe that if we have any sustained good news, we will see a pretty good rush on the market which will be a nice change from the present. For the longer term, even though we have the best mortgage rates in history at the moment, inflation is making news and this is not good for rates down the line. The Fed is working hard to keep rates down, but for how long, we’re just not to sure.

Our outlook for Martin County is fairly positive as for buyers, prices and rates remain very attractive. For sellers, it doesn’t look like we’re going to see any significant improvements soon, so if you need to sell, you may be better off now than possibly in the near future.

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for January 2012

02.26.12 by

Martin County Florida Residential Market Report for January 2012

Commentary:

The Martin County Florida residential market report for January 2012 starts the year on a slow note. Sales volume (98 units) was up as compared to last year (85) but considerably down from December (160). The one-month absorption rate shot up to14.5 months while the three-month moving average is at a more respectable 10.7 months.  Activity does appear to be high though and I expect that the January numbers reflect slow closings from the slow holiday season (as closings tend to lag from one to three months after the contracts are agreed upon.

The average sales price was up slightly from last year, while the median price was down.   Prices seem to be holding pretty steady at this time in most segments of the market and quality homes that are priced well are selling quickly.  The inventory remained stable (up only by two homes).

Our outlook for Martin County remains optimistic as prices and rates remain at historic low levels. For sellers, homes are selling, and if priced and presented optimally, they are going quickly. Buyers are seeing historically low-interest rates and very affordable quality homes in almost all price ranges.

33 Condo sales are pending and awaiting close or lender approval. (Down 2 from last month)

11 Condos Sold in January (Down 2 units from December).

The Stuart condo market for the area in ZIP code 34994 continues to show weakness.  The January results were off slightly from December, which in fact should show increased activity as we head into the season.  Unfortunately, this was not the case.   The inventory continued to increase, pending home sales were also off and sales were down as well. Compared to January of 2011, when there were 173 active listings, 68 pending sales, and 9 closed sales.  The inventory is down from last year, but pending and closed sales remain weak in this segment of the market.  This is increasing pressure for additional price drops unless sales can pick up in the latter part of this season.

In the next few months, the peak season for condos will show what the market can bear for 2012 for the Treasure Coast condo market.

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for December 2011

01.25.12 by

Martin County Florida Condo Market Report for December 2011

Commentary:

After a small retreat in November, the Martin County Florida condo market report for December 2011 posted some solid numbers.  Sales for December were up to 52 units, down from December of 2010 of 54 units but better than November’s anemic 35.  Both median and average sales prices were up, but this is not an indication of rising prices, unfortunately, but rather the mix of condos that sold in December.  Currently, some of the more moderate-priced condos are selling, which is driving these averages up.

The inventory is now down to 673 condos, which is down from 676 last month and from 780 in December of 2010.  A decreased inventory generally will trigger an increase in demand as the supply of existing units just isn’t available increasing the urgency for buyers.

Unfortunately, the absorption rate remains troubling on the higher end, with December’s one-month value of 13 months and the three-month moving average of 14.3 months.  We need to get the absorption rate below 9 months for a healthy market and down to 6 or 7 months to be considered a balanced one.

The big uncertainty that remains is the economy. We believe that if we have any sustained good news, we will see a pretty good rush on the market which will be a nice change from the present. For the longer term, even though we have the best mortgage rates in history at the moment, inflation is making news and this is not good for rates down the line. The Fed. is working hard to keep rates down, but for how long, we’re just not too sure.

Our outlook for Martin County is fairly positive as for buyers, prices and rates remain very attractive. For sellers, it doesn’t look like we’re going to see any significant improvements soon, so if you need to sell, you may be better off now than possibly in the near future.
