Belle Meade Real Estate Market Report for 2020

It’s time to present 2020 real estate stats for Belle Meade.  Nothing like seeing the whole year in one place and being able to forecast where the market is going. 

The media is reporting single-family home sales at an all-time low and prices as well as demand increasing all over south Florida.  Although Belle Meade is a conservative market and lags a bit behind the rest of neighboring cities, homes are selling quickly and demand is strong.

Belle Meade is currently a balanced market (6 months of inventory) neither buyer/seller advantage, which is a great place to be and buyers in the last 12 months have been local and from other U.S. cities (no international buyers). 

It’s also interesting to note that only 22% of purchases have been cash transactions which is ultra low for Miami in general – but this makes sense with interest rates being historically low.  The neighborhood remains ultra-local with 74.4% of all sales being used as primary residences.
