The average sold price per square foot in Miami Shores in October for homes not on the water, was $302, compared to previous months:

  • September Average $332
  • August Average $280
  • July Average $286
  • June Average $291
  • May Average $299
  • April Average $266
  • March average $230
  • February average $254
  • January average $270
  •  2016’s average of $278

There were no waterfront homes sold in October. 

Slight increase in average price per square foot is exciting, but also gives a false sense of security.  Homes that are selling for top dollar are remodeled with current finishes, impact windows and curb appeal.  The challenge is those homes that are in good condition but need some work and buyers have difficulty imagining the potential, or worse off, they are scared of the work. (please refer to the house of the month below).

Miami Shores still offers a beautiful array of 20’s, 30’s, 40’s and 50’s architecture and it’s up to buyers to know their wants and needs and up to sellers to be able to show their home’s best light.

The Market Action Index continues to increase gradually – this is the index that measures the current rate of sales versus the amount of inventory.  An index above 30 implies a Seller’s Market and it is currently at 27.  Although prices and inventory levels are relatively unchanged, the index reflects a slight buyer’s advantage.

Please take a look at our Miami Shores REAL-TIME market reports which offer weekly “market action index”, “market segments”, and “real-time market profile”. National and County-wide news sources can be slow and do not accurately represent what is happening in our local market. That’s where we can help. Our reports are localized, easy to read and provide you with a well-rounded up to date view of how the market is behaving.  If you want a no-obligation home value report, please go to MiamismValue.com.
