Belle Meade’s Real Estate Stats and Opinion

Good news for Belle Meade this past month.  In addition to experiencing an increase in sales (demand), it also had 2 waterfront sales which we haven’t had in months. It’s still a buyer’s market but absorption rate has decreased to 11 months from 12.  Price per square foot increased a bit but keep in mind that waterfront homes will push averages up. (If you are ever interested in more micro data, like only dry-lots or only waterfront, let us know and we’ll be happy to prepare the report for you).

Almost 22% of all sales are cash, which is a really low number for Miami and it goes hand in hand with 28.6% of sales are not for primary residents (investors, second and vacation home buyers).

What’s interesting to note is that the average sold price per square foot is $426 and average listed price is $564 – the disparity is really large, even with an average discount price of 6%.

If demand continues to increase, we should see an increase in pricing, similar to what neighboring city of Miami Shores is experiencing.

We provide micro-data for markets around South Florida.  Real Estate is hyper-local and it’s crucial to analyze data at a micro level to identify not only the right time to buy or sell, but who is buying and what factors will maximize your goals.  We also look into demographic information to help identify audiences buying in the area.
