Have you ever asked, “How’s the Real Estate Market in Miami Dade County”? Was the response reasonable and acceptable? Did a broker provide actual research to respond to your question?
Real Estate is a science of hindsight….not until we analyze the past data can we really know what direction we’re headed. And, for this reason I have gathered and compressed the local Multiple Listing Service (MLS) data to verify, in a nutshell, where our market is today and what the trend is in the future.
If you were to ask me this same question, I would say Miami is and has been in a normal, stable market comparable to the 2010 Real Estate Market.
Born and raised in Miami with over 22 years of Real Estate experience plus a Masters’ Degree in International Real Estate, I have witnessed the market crash and flourish more than once. I’m not just talking about the last economic downtown of 2006, there’s post 9/11 in 2001 and 1995 when interest rates were upwards of 8%, yet homes were steadily selling, mortgage loans issued and successfully closing.
So, in an effort to provide a valid analysis and response to the initial questions above, I researched the Southeast Florida MLS for sold/closed single family homes, condominiums, villas and townhouses in Miami Dade County from 2006 to 2019 from $1 up to $2,000,000. The information gathered is for Quarter 1 (January, February and March) compared year over year for the 13-year time period per price bracket.
To analyze the chart & graph below:
• In the $1 to $500,000 bracket, 2010 indicates our market had formally rebounded from the economic downturn of 2006.
• From 2011 to 2015 the market had steady growth.
• In 2016 sales began to decrease and in year 2019 sales volume was comparable to the year 2010 range (right at the continuous growth spurt).
• 2020 would then correlate with 2011 sales indicating an increase from the current 2019 sales volume.
The second series analysis:
• From $500,001 to $1,000,000 a steady climb commenced but then jumped in 2013 and has been stable ever since.
• Currently in 2019 we are comparable to a 2013 market.
The third series range:
• From $1,000,001 to $2,000,000 rebounded with the biggest jump in 2014.
• We are, in 2019, similar to a 2011 post recession sales volume.
To further analyze the data provided I obtained random samples of neighborhood sales to compare prices from a decade ago in 2009 to today’s 2019 prices. All in all, property prices have greatly increased.
• The least increase was found in the Aventura area, with a 10% price enhancement.
• Downtown Miami amplified its’ value by 48%.
• Kendall strengthened by 49%.
• Hialeah surges with 52.66% increase in value.
• Homestead wins with a compelling 61% increase.
• Miami Lakes value raised by 37.5%.
• South Beach witnessed a 35.75% hike.
In sum, although the 2019 sales volume has decreased, the Miami Dade County market has fully rebounded value-wise from the last recession and we are smooth sailing in a stable market with its normal ups and downs. The graph shows a normal increase and decrease in sales and since we are currently at the lower end, the 2020 market volume will increase again.
Is it a good time to buy? Yes it is! Why wait when you can invest in the most solid investment category, Real Estate.
