Miami Beach | Sunny Isles Real Estate Summary
Miami Beach condo inventory continues decreasing month over month. Sale-price to list-price ratios have maintained an average 5% buyer discount while active days on the market have decreased to ~ 4 months to sell. Each of these indicators proves to be a good sign for market improvement. Still, I’m watching and beginning to see the selling price per square foot trending upwards, depending on the location along the beaches.
Sunny Isles Beach selling prices (Ave. per square foot) decreased 2% over the prior month, while Bal Harbour and South Beach condo sale prices increased 4% and 6%, respectively. Over the prior 90-day period, the selling price per square foot has increased an average of 4% along the beaches. For the prior month, Miami Beach (REO) Bank Owned foreclosures made up only 2% of our inventory and have sold at 101% sale to list, while Miami Beach short sales made up 13% of our condo inventory and sold at 99% sale to list. 77% of all closed sales last month were cash transactions!
