June 2015 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Single Family Homes
June 2015 Monthly Market Detail St Lucie County Single Family Homes continues to struggle with the volume of sales in this declining inventory market while at the same time showing continued price increases. Closed sales were off by 7.9% (in May they were down by 19.8%) and new sales under contract (new pending sales) decreased by 16.7% (they were down by 31.3% last month).
Both median and average sales prices continue strong gains with increases of 18.6% and 18.9% respectively from last June (For May these numbers were 18.2% and 13.1%). These price increases, while good news for sellers, are making single family homes less affordable in the St. Lucie County market area and may be one factor in the reduced volume of closed sales.
The inventory of active listings decreased in June (from last month) by 18 homes to 1,572, and this is lower than last year’s inventory by 20.4%. The current supply of inventory is only 3.3 months (a 24.2% decrease from last year). The Saint Lucie County single family home market remains in a very strong sellers market. We are seeing a reduction in volume of sales because either there isn’t enough inventory available on the market or prices are becoming to high.
