Again, what a difference a week makes! This week had much more activity than last week.

Inventory is now under 40 properties.
Of the 39 active listings, over half, (20) are listed over $500,000.
Three listings are over $1,000,000.
Only 6 listings under $400,000
Eighteen (18) active listings have had a price reduction. What does this mean? Usually, the property was overpriced from the beginning. The sellers are recognizing the market is changing. Prices are not increasing as fast as the last several years. Sellers don’t want to miss potential buyers and deal with increased competition.

The Miami Springs & VG markets continue to be very strong. The demand is high for properties under $400,000. There are only 6 listings under $400,000. How long will this sellers’ market last? A shift is on its way. Sellers should really evaluate their position in the market in order to realize a sale quickly. Prices remain strong. Interest rates are low. A Buyer’s market is waiting in the wings!

During the period of February 15, through February 22, 2019 there were 6 new listings, 2 closed sales, 4 pending sales, 0 expired listings, 3 cancelled listings. There are still very good buying opportunities for buyers especially since interest rates remain very good. IT REALLY IS A GOOD TIME TO BUY OR SELL.
