Real Estate Market Update Statistics and Trends

Summer is here and the selling season is ready, more inventory,  more for sale signs, announcements for open houses and Buyers trying to find the perfect home.

In addition, the new changes in real estate closing forms will start on October 1st. There will be two new closing forms: 
* Loan Estimate and a Closing Disclosure. These will replace the three forms that are currently used: the HUD-1 Settlement Statement, the Good Faith Estimate, and the Truth-in-Lending disclosure form.

The reason of the new forms created by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) with input from consumer industry groups, including the National Association of Realtors^® (NAR), is to integrate the information and make it easy for buyers to compare their final costs vs. the original lender estimates.

All these changes make it essential to work with a professional Pro- Active Real Estate Agent like myself, who will create a custom made marketing plan for your property. This is especially important considering it is going to take a greater number of days to sell a property based on the increase of inventory, FHA appraisals, and the increase of the mortgage rate interests.

Please check out the graphic above illustrating real estate sales activity,  including properties for sale (single family homes), closed sales, and pending sales through May 31, 2015 in Coral Gables, Pinecrest, Coconut Grove, Cutler Bay and Homestead. 

If you are planning on selling, renting or buying a home, please contact Maria Medina Your Realtor at 305-905-3370 for the excellent service and expertise I can offer you.

Real Estate Market Update for Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, Pinecrest, Palmetto Bay, Cutler Bay and Homestead

Looking for Real Estate News? Well, you've come to the right place. In the following presentation, I have prepared a Market Update for the cities of Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, Pinecrest, Palmetto Bay, Cutler Bay and Homestead. The criteria considered was the last closed sales for the month of October for single family homes, and the number of days on the market until these properties closed. This information was taken from the MLS (Multiple Listing Service).

While preparing this Market Report, I found it is interesting to see that the average price per Sq. Ft. during this month based on the these closed sales was a follows:

Coconut Grove - $413/Sq. Ft.
Coral Gables - $383/ Sq/ Ft.
Pinecrest - $322/ Sq. Ft.
Palmetto Bay - $179/ Sq. Ft.
Cutler Bay - $117/ Sq. Ft.
Homestead - $97.13 / Sq. Ft.

I want to emphasize that the prices per Sq. Ft. are an average based on closed sales during the month of October. If you want a more accurate Comparative Market Analysis,  please feel FREE to contact me for a FREE Market Analysis at 305-905-3370 or email me at mariamedinayourrealtor@gmail.com.
