IS THIS IT? ARE WE THERE?
Has the South Florida housing market reached the bottom? Based upon numbers just released, some experts think it has. September "existing"- home sales rose for the second straight month compared to a year ago. Better yet, sales of existing-homes in September rose a whopping 5.5% nationwide, and 14% in Miami-Dade over August sales. This is the highest increase since 2004.
The report repeated what is already a fact of life. Banks are unloading properties and neighbors are lowering prices to compete.
The report also stated that the median price for homes in Miami-Dade was now at the 2004 level which was at least three years before the peak prices were reached. Note that none of the above comments apply to condos which are a completely different tale.
Remember our comments of several blogs ago to the effect that you will never know when the bottom has been reached until prices begin to rise again.
