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.
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.
If you were so busy with Art Basel and Art Miami that you missed opening week of PAMM, take the opportunity to visit it for free this Sunday. It is a beautiful addition to Miami’s growing cultural scene. I would recommend taking the metro since the Frost Science Museum is still under construction. There is a “Museum Plaza” stop on the Outer Loop.
Whether you are visiting Miami to escape cold weather or are a year-round resident enjoying the cool weather and lack of humidity, this Saturday night is a perfect night to head over to the Barnacle moonlight concert. This historic home has an expansive lawn that slopes gently down Biscayne Bay and is an ideal setting for an intimate night of outdoor music.
Designed by Herzog and de Meuron, the Perez Art Museum Miami, is a beautiful new addition to Miami’s growing sophisticated skyline. Attendance is free for Miami-Dade residents this week.
