There were no waterfront homes sold in May.

The media keeps telling us that it’s a buyer’s market but the reality is that real estate is hyper local.  How in the world can you package The Brickell Condo Market with Miami Shores’ single-family home market, together with Miami Beach, Fisher Island, Hialeah and other communities??  It makes absolutely no sense.  What makes sense is for you to know what is happening directly in your community in order to make educated decisions about buying and selling.

With that said, did you see the major increase in price per square foot this month?  That will always fluctuate, that’s why we recommend looking at 6 month averages or even a year – the good indicator in 2016’s average and seeing how close you remain to that.

Here’s what we are seeing on the ground.  Homes that are upgraded are selling well.  Homes that are updated and in a great location are selling for top dollar.  Miami Shores is still in an in-between market – not quite buyer’s and sometimes seller’s depending on condition and location of property.  Since the market continues to correct itself, it’s key for you to know how your product compares to those top sellers and for you to be realistic about pricing.  One thing is clear, it’s no longer a market to overprice. Overpricing will cause property to sit on the market longer and even sell under market (evidenced by closed properties identified above).

We prepare these market reports on a monthly basis at the beginning of every month and we also provide automated real-time market reports to help you stay on top of the pulse.  We also provide no-obligation consultations, so feel free to contact us if you are curious about selling your home.

Miami Shores House of The Month

The Miamism Sales Team recommends the Mediterranean revival home located at 275 NE 92 Street.  This is a Lester Avery home that was previously owned by a local contractor who did a quality addition to the historic home.  It boats 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms and 3,580 SF of living space.  It does have a smaller lot of 8,320 SF but the house is beautiful!!  It’s listed for $1,075,000 which is $329/SF and a really great price for such a significant, historic home.
