“As we have seen throughout the year in our county, property values continue to appreciate, while supply remains low. The median sale price for single family homes is up 13% compared to last November, according to Florida Realtors®, and our months’ supply of inventory is down 21.5% to 4.8 months. Will these trends continue? All indications seem to suggest low supply and higher prices will remain for at least another year. Whether you are buying or selling, seek the expertise of a local REALTOR® who can help you navigate through the unique challenges of Martin County’s real estate market,” said John Slivon, Treasurer of the Realtors® Association of the Palm Beaches (RAPB).

The November 2015 Monthly Market Detail Martin County Single Family Homes continues to show improvement both annually and monthly. Year to year closed sales were up by 6.5% (was up 13.4% in October). New pending sales increased by 4.9% as compared to November of 2014 (decreased by 19% in October).
Prices continue their upward march. The median sales price was up by 13.0% from last year (up by 15.6% in October) while the average price increased by 30.6% (was up by 12.3% last month). This very strong price trend is a bit troubling as it seems to be at much to high of a pace to be sustainable for the long run. I expect some moderation of these increases in the near future.
The inventory of available single family homes decreased from last month by 33 homes to 1129 units this month, and this is inventory is 10.4% less than last November. Current supply of homes is 4.8 months, for October of this year it was a 4.9 months supply. (This is a 21.5% decrease from last year). The Martin County single family real estate market remains in a sellers market. I was hoping for another month of increasing inventory, but this hasn’t happened. Possibly for December and/or January we’ll have some additional homes for sale.

For November 2014 in the 33455 Zip Code area of Hobe Sound, Florida :
There are currently 4 active condo listings. (Unchanged from October)
1 Condos are pending and awaiting close. (Up by 1 condos from October)
1 Condos sold in October (Decreased by 2 condos from October)
The Hobe Sound condo market (Zip Code 33455) is the smallest segment of the Martin County real estate market. With only 4 actively listed condos, there’s just not that many options out there for buyers. Any one considering selling their Hobe Sound condo, the time couldn’t be better than right now.
The current absorption rate is 4 months (Last month it was 1.3 months). This absorption rate should be taken with a liberal grain of salt, as small changes in activity make for very large changes on percentages that may not reflect a true trend in the market. An absorption rate of 6 to 7 months is considered to be a balanced market favoring neither the buyer or seller.
The November 2014 numbers were: 9 active listings, 4 pending sales and 4 closed sales. Much better volume last year. But there was over twice the inventory as well.

The Jensen Beach FL 34957 Condo Market Report November 2015 remains a small sector as far as condos in Martin County and making meaningful comparisons with such small numbers can be problematic.
