Low Inventory, High Median Price Trend Continues in St. Lucie
Just in! Newly released market reports from Florida Realtors® detailing recent real estate activity in St. Lucie County. The reports compare year-over-year data for March. Here are statistics on single family homes.
“The median sale price continues to rise in St. Lucie County! The median price increased 5.5 percent to $242,743, the highest we’ve seen. Prices are high while inventory is low. In March, supply of inventory decreased 17.4 percent year-over-year to 3.8 months. We’ve now seen a double digit decrease in inventory for the seventh consecutive month,” said Jarrod Lowe, President of Broward, Palm Beaches & St. Lucie Realtors®.
Median sale price is our preferred summary statistic for price activity because, unlike average sale price, median sale price is not sensitive to high sales prices for small numbers of homes that may not be characteristic of the market area.
“While there were some positive statistics in March, I don’t want to overlook the impact COVID-19 will have on our market in the coming months. It's important for buyers and sellers to reach out to a local Realtor® to discuss essential real estate needs. Innovative practices, such as virtual open houses and virtual showings, are great ways for buyers to browse properties safely and Realtors® to show them in real time,” continues Lowe.
