Market Update

4th Quarter of 2014

2014 solidified the healthy gains of 2013, likely positioning us for another vigorous year. A combination of job growth, GDP growth, a high level of consumer confidence and historically low interest rates sets a solid foundation for the 2015 housing market. Local prices continue to rise as the tightened supply of inventory constricts the availability of choices. Because of the limited supply, prices in South Florida steadily increased year over year. The housing recovery continued through the 4th Quarter of 2014 in both Palm Beach and Martin Counties as both experienced increases in average sales prices compared to the 4th Quarter of 2013. One glaring trend of the current market is that new construction is on the rise and builders are luring buyers with complete amenities. The features of a home and its proximity to a city or town are more important than ever and buyers are clamoring for an easier way of life. Sellers of older properties are finding that they must update and renovate extensively in order to compete with new construction. Properties listed below or at market value often result in bidding wars because of the limited amount of inventory. Cash purchasers often trump higher bids that are contingent on financing as sellers are now acutely aware of conservative bank appraisals that do not always reflect true market value. Investor demand appears to be declining while the cash buyers that remain in the market are the result of pent up demand from the slow years. We invite you to preview our quarterly report for further analysis of how various areas in our markets performed compared to the same time last year.
