Miami Real Estate, Its All in the Numbers

numbersUnlike the television show, Numb3rs, I am not going to get into any fancy or complicated formulas.  I am just going to state the real estate numbers for Miami-Dade County as of the end of the first quarter of 2009.  You can use them to make your purchasing or selling decisions, to get a glimpse of what is going on in our market, or to fill in awkward silences at cocktail parties.

Overall Numbers

  • 35% of all listings on the MLS are either short sales or REO
  • 59% of all sales on the MLS are either short sales or REO
  • 82% of all residential sales are under $300,000

Single Family Home Numbers

  • 20% of single family home sales are under $100,000 (yes there are homes under $100k in Miami but hurry, they are only 6% of the inventory and going fast!)
  • 3% of single family home sales and 14% of the inventory are over $1,000,000.  Inventory in this price range is at 83 months, up from 55 months this time last year
  • 17 month supply of single family homes down from a 42 months supply 1 year ago (Wow, that was fast!)

Condo Numbers

  • 36% of all condo sales are under $100,000 and they make up 15% of the inventory
  • 3% of condo sales and 9% of inventory are over $1,000,000.  Inventory in this price range is at 88 months up from 41 months last year.
