Inventory continues to decrease in Surfside which is textbook for rising prices.  (Supply is less than Demand).  Although price per square foot dropped a bit last month, the overall market continues to increase at a conservative pace.  This does not give you ammunition to overprice your home, look at what happened to 9149 Emerson…which was grossly overpriced and sold under market. Always consult with a realtor that knows and understands the dynamics of the area.  We are here to give you a no-obligation listing consultation where we discuss not only price, but condition of your home and give recommendations for how to best show. There were no waterfront sales in Surfside in the month of April or May but there were 11 waterfront homes sold in Surfside in 2015 and that average was $634/SF.
