Miami Single Family Home Prices Maintain a Steady Rise

The Miami Herald released an article yesterday that offered good news for home sellers throughout Miami-Dade County. According to statistics obtained from the Miami Association of Realtors, home prices have experienced a consecutive four-month rise; gaining an average of 13% in market value. April numbers have not officially been published yet, but we are able to show a steady increase over the past three months as represented by this bar graph derived from TrendGraphix©.

A decrease in available inventory and the steady stream of eager home buyers are what have contributed to the sudden appreciation. Whereas the median home price in Miami-Dade was $159,000 a year ago, it has since risen to $180,00, which is a significant increase. The article explained that these were pre-recession trends. This could be yet another hopeful sign that the South Florida real estate market is making a solid and gradual recovery.  You Can Read The Article Here.

Miami’s Condo Vacancies Have Almost Dried Up

I was reading an article on The Real Deal which is a South Florida Real Estate News site. According to them and other sources, the once volatile Miami Condo market is fast approaching over demand as buyers from all around the world are flocking to Miami to get a condo that boasts the coveted Miami lifestyle. The report of 93% occupancy came directly from Miami’s Downtown Development Authority (DDA).

“Approximately 93 percent of the 23,000 condominiums built in Miami since 2002 like Icon Brickell are now occupied. The 93 percent number is up from 65 percent in 2008.”

Miami’s Condo Market’s recent demand is only likely to increase in the coming months. If you or anyone you know is eager to begin living the perfect Miami lifestyle feel free to pass my contact information along. With over 37 years in real estate, the Forster Team has the knowledge and negotiation expertise to get results!

Snapper Creek Lakes Subdivision

Throughout the years I have had the opportunity to list and sell some amazing properties inside Snapper Creek Lakes. Snapper Creek Lakes is a guard gated development of 124 homes in Coral Gables including large acres of land, mature foliage and landscaping.  Originally developed in the early 1950’s to preserve the lush tropical hammock to this area by well-known Arthur Vining Davis.  This glamorous community features a privately owned boat basin with a full-time dock master, security and provides for boat launching, fuel, ice and soft drinks.

With direct access to the beautiful waters of Biscayne Bay, all homeowners have the privilege of docking their boat at this fascinating marina or having the option to storing it in a dry shed or on land.  Snapper Creek Lakes is located in the city of Coral Gables opposite Fairchild Tropical Gardens on the west side of Old Cutler Road.  The neighborhood is conveniently located only five minutes to South Miami, ten minutes from Coral Gables and just twenty minutes to the Miami International Airport and downtown Miami.  Prices at Snapper Creek Lakes range from $1.8 Million to over $12 Million.

Please contact me should you be interested in any further information on Snapper Creek Lakes homes or market activity. You can view homes for sale in Snapper Creek Lakes by clicking here. Also, check out all my blog posts regarding Snapper Creek Lakes here.
