Surfside Real Estate Stats

What the world is going on in Surfside?? While similar cities have low inventory and hot seller’s market with 2-4 months in absorption rates, Surfside has 9 months and remains a buyer’s market.  It’s evident by the selling inventory from September that homes that are priced correctly, are selling quickly and for close to asking – this is a textbook reason NOT to overprice your home.

Although selling prices seem to be all over the place, if you analyze condition and location, you will realize which areas of Surfside are selling for top dollar. The sweet spot when it comes to price-range that is selling the most, is between $500k – $800k.

67.3% of all sales are financed deals, this makes total sense with our low mortgage rates. Did you know that 75% of all buyers are actual primary home residents?  This means that Surfside is not a transitional or vacation destination, even with its close proximity to the ocean; it’s a place where people buy to live.  

Buyers are not just local or even from other parts of the U.S., but come from Argentina, Italy and Spain.
