Florida Foreclosure Starts Down 18.02% Month-To-Month

Realty Trac’s November Foreclosure Market Report shows that foreclosure start in Florida dropped 18.02% from the previous month and a whopping 45.9% drop year-over-year; completions were down 2.72% month-to-month and 15.59% from previous year; and overall foreclosure activity was down 15% and 23% respectively.

These decreases show that the foreclosure crisis is almost over, but the Florida still leads the nation in foreclosures, with one in every 392 homes getting a foreclosure filing and Miami is one of the highest cities with foreclosures in Florida.  There are currently 617 Miami-Dade foreclosed homes listed on the MLS.

Not Going To The Dolphins Game Or Holiday Shopping? Check Out These Pinecrest Open Houses

Okay, it is another beautiful, hot, Miami day in December with lots going on.  If you are not busy and are looking for a new home for 2014, take a look at some of these open houses in the Village of Pinecrest.

One of my favorites, is the house pictured below.  It is a 1926 Old Spanish style home on a lushly landscaped corner lot.  It is also one of the few homes in Pinecrest with a separate guest house.
