The average sold price per square foot in Miami Shores in March for homes not on the water was $291, compared to:

According to our REAL-TIME market reports for Miami Shores, we are in a seller’s market with a slight seller’s advantage.  The Market Action Index measures the current rate of sales versus the amount of inventory and an index above 30 implies a Seller’s Market – We are at 30:

In the last few weeks the market has achieved a relative stasis point in terms of sales to inventory. However, inventory is sufficiently low to keep us in the Seller’s Market zone so watch changes in the MAI. If the market heats up, prices are likely to resume an upward climb.

The number 1 indicator of price is LOCATION, this is without a doubt.  If you live in Miami Shores you know what the desirable areas area for both crime and proximity to water and the action.  Homes East of the boulevard sell for top dollar, no matter the condition.  Homes in Central Shores compete according to condition and the further west you go, the price per square foot drops, unless the home is small and architecturally charming.

Only 2 out of the 17 closings was a cash deal, this continues to fluctuate from month to month and we keep a close eye.

In addition to these monthly reports that we prepare the first week of each month, we also have our REAL-TIME reports that you can sign up with or request a home value report from MiamismValue.com.

Miami Shores House of The Month

The Miamism Sales Team recommends the true, Mid-century Modern home located at 304 NE 93rd Street.  We don’t take the meaning of “mid-century modern” lightly and this is a pristine example in original condition, waiting for the right hands to bring it to its intended splendor.

The house has terrazzo floors protected by wall to wall carpeting, original bathrooms and windows, gorgeous window proportions and even wall a/c units.  It’s a 3 bedroom / 2 bathroom home with 2-car garage on a huge 15,875 SF lot.  It needs to be completely updated but the bones don’t get any better than this.  It’s a bit overpriced at $340/SF, considering it needs to be completely updated, but I’m sure there’s room to negotiate.

The listing price is $795,000
