The Belle Meade home sold in February was the fixer upper at 756 NE 72 Ter.  This 3 bedroom / 3 bathroom house with 1,911 SF of living space and 6,000 SF lot was originally listed for $659,000 in October of 2017.  It was lowered, removed from the market, relisted and relowered and finally sold for $535,000 ($280/SF) **cash transaction

Average price per square foot for Belle Meade homes not on the water in January was $280 with only one sale that was a fixer upper, past averages are as follows:

There were no waterfront homes sold in Belle Meade in February. The price per square foot for homes on the water in the last 2 years is the following:

Belle Meade’s inventory continues to drop with inventory being at 9 months right now. It’s difficult to gauge what will happen to any of Miami’s real estate markets after the COVID-19 outbreak, but we don’t foresee a drastic drop in market pricing, we foresee a drop in demand out of fear.  Rate of sales will slow down but pricing should remain stable, this will give an opportunity to buyers that were on the fence because of lower interest rates and lowering inventory.

It’s interesting to note that 3 bedroom homes are selling for higher per square foot.  While the average sale for a 2 bedroom is at $393/SF, 3 bedrooms sell for $431/SF.  Most deals in Belle Meade are financed (63%) and 75% of all sales are for primary residences.
