Miami-Ft Lauderdale: June 2014 Monthly Market Summary

Well with Spring behind us and the start of Summer it looks like the Miami-Fort Lauderdale Metropolitan area will continue to heat up for home sales. In the latest sales data for the area in the month of June shows 4,341 closed sales which is up 12.2% from June 2013. The buyer paying with cash was also up with 1,817 homes accounting for almost 42% of all sales. South Florida leads the nation in cash sales as both domestic and international home buyers are investing here. The median home sale price for the metropolitan area is $275,000 and up 5.8% from last year. There was one area that somewhat bucked the trend and that is the overall days on market actually rose from 40 days in 2013 to 44 days in 2014. The main reason for the increased days on market is from a slight increase in inventory which is giving some home buyers more to choose from. The one area that really looks promising is the amount of short sales has fallen by 42.7% and that is finally helping the median home price values.

Broward County 2013 home prices up 29%

Well the housing market has truly changed tremendously in 2013. This past year we have went from a buyers market to a strong sellers market. Gone are the days of buyers having leverage and beating down sellers. Home prices have continued to edge up and are now at $265,000 based on a county wide average. This number reflects a 29% increase from 2012 and at least for the moment shows no sign of slowing down. With these numbers it is fair to say that home prices will break the $300k threshold in 2014. If you have looked on Realtor.com it already appears that the $265,000 average seems well below as sellers have really took advantage of listing high. This really comes back to if you have thought of selling in the past but have waited you should strongly think about listing now. Call Keith Hasting for a free home evaluation and see if listing now is the right time. Chances are there is a buyer (or should we say buyers as there have been bidding wars) for your home now!
