Inventory levels throughout the north county area continue to shrink and this continued reduction is certainly having its effect on sales. We have seen sales levels drop over the past couple months and from my perspective this has more to do with fewer selections than fewer buyers. Todays buyers are still strongly driven by price, looking for the proverbial “deal” and they are harder and harder to find. We still have overpriced inventory with some sellers refusing to let go of visions of 2005 prices.  Much of the talk on the street among real estate professionals surrounds shadow inventory; how much is there and what really is shadow inventory?  Shadow inventory refers to the inventory of homes not yet for sale but that will come to the market at some point in the near future. Most defi... 09/01/2011

What a difference a month makes and a lot has happened since we last updated the pending sales data in the north county area. The biggest news affecting us all was the downgrading of the credit rating of the United States. One would think that would make interest rates jump but alas the Fed jumps in and announces they are going to try and keep them artificially low for at  least the next two years.  I, for one, certainly hope they can but I think that was more posturing in order to calm the equity markets more than anything else.   On the front lines, real estate sales in July were down across the area and some of that has to do with inventory levels that continue to shrink. Foreclosure numbers are also way down and we are still taking a wait and see attitude as to whether the 50% dip w... 08/19/2011

Watching the inventory levels continue their monumental drop has really been a thing of beauty. Month after month we report new annual lows in home inventory levels throughout the north county area. This month is no different as we again need to adjust the scale on our charts to handle the new lows. No doubt we need to see these levels maintain and while it is making it ever more difficult to find price driven buyers to homes that meet their expectations no doubt this is a critical metric for future price appreciation.Last month in Hobe Sound inventory levels continue to go lower and this marks the 6th straight decline and another new record low. The net inventory of real estate currently for sale on our local Multiple Listing Service (MLS) in Hobe Sound now stands at 406 down 8 units f... 08/08/2011

Every month at this time we take a look at the level of pending real estate sales in the north county area as it is the most important metric when determining what future sales will be. Everyone had an amazing spring with stronger sales than we have had in years. Interest rates remain at historic lows, we have seen an interesting drop in foreclosures and inventory levels are at year long lows. Sales reported here for June were tremendous and things are looking up. Or are they?   Our May 15th reports throughout the north county area showed pending sales at 12 month highs but last month we saw a reversal and reductions in pending listings which again are a precursor to upcoming sales levels. So again I was very interested to sit down this morning and pull the latest information to see wh... 07/16/2011

Hobe Sound Single Family Home Sales Pick Up Steam in June Last month we reported how sales had fallen during May as we transitioned from a very strong spring buying season into the summer months. This morning I start off the monthly updates with Hobe Sound and the numbers look excellent for June which is great news indeed. During the month our local MLS system shows a total of 27 successful single family home closings in Hobe Sound as of this mornings’ update. That compares with 24 sales in May and a fantastic way to start summer here in Paradise. Not only were sales levels great but the fact that they came in every pricing category was also good news. Especially strong were the luxury sales in the $1,000,000+ price range where we had 5 sales between $2,275,000 and $10,500,000.  The ch... 07/09/2011

A couple weeks ago I took an advance look into inventory levels in Palm Beach County and at that time it looked like we might see a slight uptick when I completed my monthly report.

Every month at this time we take a look at the level of pending real estate sales in the north county area as it is the most important metric when determining what future sales will be. Everyone has had an amazing spring with stronger sales than we have had in years. Interest rates continue to plunge, we have seen an interesting drop in foreclosures and inventory levels are at year long lows. As we transform from the traditionally strong spring buying season to what typically are slower summer months it will be very interesting to watch and see just how strong the current recovery is.   On May 15th we showed how, throughout the area, pending sales were again at year long highs and I was very interested to sit down this morning and pull the latest information to see what the last 30 day... 06/15/2011

Hobe Sound Home Sales Drop Significantly During May The strength of the spring home buying season in Palm Beach and Martin Counties has been nothing short of spectacular. Inventories as reported here are at year long lows and interest rates were down again for the 8th time in 9 weeks.   I wondered just how long can we keep this party going as I sat down to put together the final sales numbers for May. During the month our local MLS system shows a total of 22 successful single family home closings in Hobe Sound as of this mornings’ update. That compares with 34 sales in April and a pretty significant drop. We expect a slowdown as we shift from spring to summer but this was a pretty big drop and worth watching.

Thirty days ago I reported here how every one of my main market areas in north Palm Beach County with the lone exception of Palm Beach Gardens reported increases in pending home sales for the third month in a row, most of which set new year long highs. These statistics showed a local real estate market that continues to recover quite nicely. Once again I was excited to get back to the data this month and see what has transpired since then but based on the activity I am seeing things continue to get better and better on the real estate front lines. It really is very difficult to find good properties in many locations in certain price ranges. Pending and contingent home sales data are very important metrics when determining how strong real estate sales will be in the months ahead. I like... 05/15/2011
