2012 Record Breaking Year Announced by Miami Association of Realtors
Wednesday, January 30, 2013
Sales in Miami in both condos and single family homes set incredible records. Double digit growth is attributed to overseas buyers as well as the improving economy in Florida, record low mortgage rates, and the resulting inventory is incredibly limited. There is currently a shortage and 2013 is not expected to be record breaking simply because the inventory is not available. However, there are 100 new condominiums in the works so this will likely be remedied. If you are looking to sell your home or condominium in Miami Beach or in Miami, you would be very well served to take a hard look at the numbers below and get an idea of how remarkable the market really is for the seller.
In Miami Dade County, sales rose 7.9% for single family homes and 1.2% for condos. Natasha Tell, chairman of the board of the Miami Association of Realtors released this statement, “The Miami real estate market continues to exceed expectations and generate optimism. While we expected the surge in demand to drive price appreciation, we did not expect prices to increase as soon and as strong as they did.” Total sales in December increased by 12.5% compared to December 2011. Single family homes in Miami Dade increased 16.4% and condos increased by 9.8% in December. More impressive is that the median price of home has increased 25.4% compared to 2011 and 3.2% from November 2012. The demand for bank owned properties and the resulting bidding wars is keeping price points up. For more information on the market, contact us today.

Home Price Gains: Report from Reuters
Tuesday, January 29, 2013
Case Shiller reported that throughout 20 metropolitan areas there was a gain of .6% in November and the prices have risen in these areas by 5.5% this past year. An increase of this magnitude has not been seen since 2006. US Economist Omar Sharif with RBS Securities in New York released this statement to Reuters, , “This is continuing a trend in place for the better part of a year. This is another indication that the housing rebound is fairly entrenched at this point.” November was the tenth consecutive month of gains which beat out the 2009 and 2010 9 month runs which were accredited with the home buyer tax credit. The numbers were all adjusted seasonally for the slower month of December.
While the rest of the nation experiences slower months in the winter, Miami is the polar opposite. Miami is in season now, and there are scarcely homes on the market. With every listing, there are multiple offers and bidding wars for the competitively priced homes. Whether in the single family home market or the condominium market, there are very few options on the market. In short, winter is NOT a weak point in the market for Miami and if you are looking to list your home there is no better time. Luxury homes are fetching top dollar and we are happy to provide a comparative market analysis. Contact us today.

NAR Releases Numbers from Home Sales in December
Wednesday, January 23, 2013
Tags:   Home Sellers, Market, home buyers, Property, Sales Price, 2012, Vero Beach Real Estate
Chief Economist for the National Association of Realtors released a statement regarding the recent numbers of previously owned home sales for the month of December today, “Record low mortgage interest rates clearly are helping many home buyers, but tight inventory amd restrictive mortgage underwriting standards are limiting sales.” This comes as no surprise given the record low inventory in Miami and we are seeing this increasingly as a sellers market. In December, sales fell 1% however they remained 12.8% above December numbers in 2011. 4.65 million homes were estimated by NAR to be sold in 2012, which is an increase from 9.2% in 2011 and is the highest level since 2007.
Nationally, the housing inventory dropped 8.5%, reaching 1.82 million homes, which is estimated to be a 4.2 month supply. Economists consider a 6-7 month supply to be a healthy market and this low inventory is lowest since 2001. This is not a sad story however since the median price of homes has been driven up by 11.5% since last year. In Miami Beach, we are witnessing a drastic shortage of previously owned homes for sale. There are 83 planned developments for this year in condominiums and hopefully there will be more released on the market. If you are looking to sell your home, contact us today!
