Miami Real Estate: More Signs the Market is Improving

New Construction in the Gables
New Construction

 

As I drive around town, I am seeing a lot more new construction.   This new single family home is going up in north Gables.   I have seen other ones being built in South Miami and Pinecrest as well.

In addition to the new construction I have been seeing many remodeling projects.  Significant additions are being added on to many existing homes.

All of this bodes well for the overall market.  Are you remodeling or adding on to your house?
