Properties for Sale in Broward and Miami Dade Counties, Florida
Here’s a brief overview of what Mr. Shuffield reported about recent South Florida housing market activity:
- In Miami-Dade County, the median price for a single-family home so far in 2012 is $200,000, up 12 percent when compared to the year before.
- In 2011, the median price was about $150,000.
- Also in Miami-Dade County, the median price for a condominium so far in 2012 is $150,000, up 21 percent when compared to the year before.
- In Broward County, the median price for a single-family home in 2012 is $216,000, up 14 percent from 2011.
- And the median price for a Broward County condominium in 2012 is $85,000, up 9 percent from 2011.
Mr. Shuffield explained that low sales prices, record low interest rates and affordable housing inventory at the foreclosure stage have driven the recent sales South Florida has seen.
As a result, available and affordable South Florida housing inventory is dwindling quickly.
For instance, in 2011, sales of foreclosed homes made up 65 percent of all home sales in South Florida. Now they represent 50 percent of all sales.
