The average home in Surfside sells for $873,000 but the price range that sells the most is between $500,000 and $700,000.  There’s an average discount of 8% and there’s currently 16 months of inventory with a strong buyer’s market.  We predict that the current COVID-19 situation will decrease demand and will stagnate pricing for a bit.  Inventory will sit unsold for a few months but we do not expect a drastic drop in pricing.

Surfside buyers are coming not only from the U.S. but from Argentina and Spain.

68.8% of owners use their home as primary residences with only 31% investors coming into the area. We’ll keep a close eye on market changes in the area but expect the market to sit unchanged. The good news is that buyers that are looking are serious prospects and we are still seeing closings in the rest of the county.
