The MIAMI Association of REALTORS recently released some data that describe the current state of the South Florida real estate market.
One of the group’s biggest conclusions was that Broward housing inventory has fallen below a six month supply. Keep in mind this is averaged out for all price ranges, however when it’s broken up in different price range categories from like $1-2 Million, or $2-3 Million and up the picture is much different as there are more month’s supply, in other words the the higher the price range, the more inventory there currently is.
For example today in Broward County we have approximately 83 months supply of single family homes over 3 million dollars and less than 4 months supply for single family homes less than 300,000.
The group found that inventory of residential listings in Broward County fell by 27 percent – or from 20,143 in May 2010 to 12,742.
Comparatively, total housing inventory nationally only fell by 1 percent.
This is great news for interested South Florida home sellers. After all, as there become fewer homes there are on the South Florida real estate market, demand for South Florida homes will inevitably rise.
When demand for South Florida homes rises, South Florida home sellers will have more bargaining room when it comes to selling their South Florida home.
Here’s some additional data that the MIAMI Association of REALTORS recently released:

Several South Florida cities saw increases in their property values in 2010, according to a recent article in The Miami Herald.
Although property values for both commercial and residential real estate are still down in Miami-Dade and Broward counties for 2010, they’re still doing considerably better than in 2008 or 2009.
According to the most recent data:

The Related Group, a prominent Miami-based developer, plans to break ground on six new high rise condominiums in the next year, according to a recent article in the Miami Herald.
The development group recently created a new partnership with Miami-based marketing firm International Sales Group.
The partnership, now called Related ISG, plans to market the six new condominiums to international buyers, particularly those living in Latin America.
According to the article in The Miami Herald, Related ISG’s strategy is to focus on those buyers who invest with nothing but cash. The company hopes such investments will help pay for much of the construction costs upfront.
Although most of the details about the projects are unknown, the developer did provide locations of the proposed six condos:
Although the South Florida real estate market has struggled with a number of homes underwater as well as a large inventory of unsold condominiums, Related ISG said that the high demand for South Florida real estate by Latin American investors as well as recent strong condo sales justify the company’s plans.
And according to one estimate, buyers will pay as much as 80 percent of the purchase price before the building has ever been completed. This minimizes the risk that these new condominiums will go into foreclosure, said spokespeople from Related ISG.
Now is a fantastic time to do so!
Contact me, Scott Patterson, today to talk with me about all of the luxury condominiums in the various South Florida communities, including:

I recently read a rather interesting article in The Palm Beach Post that discussed the record-breaking affordability on South Florida homes for sale.
Evidently, affordability on Palm Beach County homes for sale reached a new high during the first quarter of 2011.

There is a lot of data on the South Florida real estate market that illustrate just how affordable South Florida homes are right now:
So what exactly is causing this great affordability in South Florida? A few factors are at play right now, including:
And even though home sales have picked up in recent months, it hasn’t caused prices to rise like they did during the housing boom a couple of years ago.
This is great news for South Florida home buyers looking for a deal on the South Florida real estate market.
