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 September. Here are statistics on single family homes.

“September was a busy month for Realtors® with closed sales skyrocketing with double-digit increases. We saw 601 closed sales in St. Lucie County, a massive 20 percent increase year-over-year. It’s safe to say that the COVID-19 pandemic hasn’t deterred buyers from purchasing homes,” said Jarrod Lowe, President of Broward, Palm Beaches & St. Lucie Realtors®.

Closed Sales are one of the simplest—yet most important—indicators for the residential real estate market. Closed Sales (and many other market metrics) are affected by seasonal cycles, so actual trends are more accurately represented by year-over-year changes (i.e. comparing a month's sales to the amount of sales in the same month in the previous year), rather than changes from one month to the next.

“Meanwhile, median sale price increased 8.6 percent, hitting $258,680. Low levels of inventory and historically low interest rates have played a huge role in the continued growth of St. Lucie County prices. If you’ve been contemplating listing your home, now is the time to make your move. Median time on market is 18 days, a local Realtor® can help you capitalize on the high demand,” continues Lowe.
