Both on a national and local South Florida level, home sales have been improving and in some areas median prices have actually been increasing. Although we have been seeing a trend in increasing sales and decreasing inventories in Miami-Dade County, Moody’s Investor Services estimates there will be an additional 8% decrease in home prices in 2010 due to an increased number of foreclosures, short-sales, and deeds in lieu of foreclosure sales that will be coming on the market. Moody’s estimates are based on loans that are currently in some form of modification process but that will not be eligible for permanent modification.
