Surfside continues to be a buyer’s market with 20 months of inventory.  The inventory that is moving quickly are updated homes priced accordingly.  The overpriced inventory is sitting still and possibly getting stagnant, hence the reason for pricing right and not “testing the market” when buyers have the upper hand.

With our new market reports we are able to go super granular into the data and analyze what factors contribute to your home selling faster and for more money.  Did you know that mid-century homes make up the most sales in Surfside?  We could argue that there is a lot more inventory built between 1950-1969, but did you know that the average price per square foot for those homes is $430, compared to $353/SF for 70’s homes and $379/SF for 80’s properties!

Our new reports, which you can DOWNLOAD HERE, use the last 12 months of data, for you to make an educated decision about buying or selling depending on robust data. 

The Micro data we produce will educate you on real estate market conditions and will empower you into making the right move. 

 

The Market Action Index has decreased to 24, which still shows slight buyer’s advantage. 

Slight Buyer’s Advantage

The Market Action Index has been trending lower for several weeks while prices have remained relatively stable. If inventory continues to grow relative to demand however, it is likely that we will see downward pressure on pricing.
