April 2012 Miami Real Estate Search Porn by Realtor.com

Another one of those “generalized” Miami Real Estate market reports that really good for getting only an overall impression of the housing market.  Real Estate is LOCAL!! Yes….I say it over and over and over again.  But these stats are positive and are proof of an improving market, hence the reason I share them.

As per REALTOR.com, Florida was the #20 most searched market in the country in April 2012.

• Median list prices for homes in Miami, FL hit $275,000 in April 2012, a 15.06% increase from one year ago this month, and 2.23% increase from March 2012.  The national median list price in April 2012 was $191,211, a -0.35% decrease compared to April 2011.

So how does Realtor.com arrive at these numbers?

The information is released to local markets to help consumers and real estate professionals as they work together to successfully navigate their local market.
